Anyone else notice his first guest he had on, he sat down first. He hasn't done that since. I found that amusing.
He did it with the Gaslands guy. I guess it's just what he does.

Tuesday's episode was the first one after the summer break and also the first one with Jon Steward back at the desk.
I liked that he was pretty thankful and complimenting to his staff and to John Oliver and he seemed genuinely happy to be back in the studio. He also gave Oliver one final opportunity to take place at the desk while complimenting him. Great stuff even though the whole intro and the news recap with Steward pretending that he hadn't heard of anything wasn't particulalrly funny.
After the regular show started though I found myself hoping Oliver was still hosting, it's probably because Steward is still a bit off his game after being away for so long but I for one will miss Oliver. Maybe he will have the opportunity to get his owm show (like Colbert did) because he proved that he could do that.

Oh Dear, Jason Jones really, really didn't like that blonde anti-healthcare bitch.
Awesome.

I thought that the whole segment was just a sketch with actors. The selection of both the blonde slightly gothish/punkish woman making the case against the ACA and the doe eyed 'straight out of a republican abstinence ad' woman making the case for the ACA seemed just a bit too much of a coincidence for me to think that they were real persons.

If so then the whole segment was actually awful enough for Jones so that he couldn't help but break character at one point. Which hasn't happened since, ever.

Is there an inverse to Poe's Law?
She sounded so ridiculous that I simply assumed she was an actor that just said lines coming from the daily show writers.
Such people exist? Really? And instead of being institutionalized they hold multiple degrees and have book deals and radio shows?
Look we Europeans have a really warped perception of how things are in the US but even we wouldn't believe that such people actually exist.
I'm very sorry for you that you have to deal with such people. Have a hug.

It is Europe's fault for chasing their crazy ass ancestors here in the first place. Never forget this Europe...your history is responsible for creating the U.S.

You've got it wrong. The Republican is always blonde. Unless it's Malkin. But you can tell she wishes she was born a blonde oh-so-badly.

Wonderfully naive Jeff. Suprising (or maybe of course) 'Dr. Gina's website has her own store: And this is admittedly where my intuition fails: Are these people genuinely crazy or are just scams in for the money? Or both? And how can one tell?

A sufficiently advanced scam is indistinguishable from crazy.

That was pure, unadulterated awesome on Jones' part. It also illustrates how batshit insane the GOP base is.

I have never, ever, ever come as close to saying 'Wait, that's an actor, right' as I was during that segment.

Noelle Nikpour. A nimrod Republican strategist from Arkansas who once famously said, "scientists are scamming the american people [...] for their own financial gain." When asked if she had any evidence or data for such a claim, she responded that "Every American [...] would have a gut feeling that some of these numbers that scientists are putting out are not right."
Think Brick Tamland, only not as smart.
