Somehow that show was a bit disappointing. I can't put my finger on why, though
Ummm, 'cause they spent half the show talking about Passover and Ben Stiller. Two topics most people would rather take a nap during. Why they would write the show that way is the bigger question.

Robin Williams was brilliant. That new heart must have done him some good. He looked younger than me!

He looked and sounded fantastic. I need to call my grandpa and see if they had the same surgeon, just because, I don't know, 2 degrees of the guy that fixed Robin William's heart seems cool.

People give Williams a lot of flak for his shtick. While I do believe he can go overboard sometimes I have always imagined that no matter how much you may dislike his act on screen, that if you were right there in front of him, he'd crack you up.

As witnessed by Jon Stewart. I thought the poor man was going to hyperventilate.

My parents saw his last act live and this is precisely what they said. His style was designed for in-the-face interaction. TV waters it down too much.

Fox News/Reagan/Nuke bit last night was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
I'll reiterate about how SAD it is that this Comedy Show that 'follows puppets making joke phone calls' is still the best news show you seem to have.

Under the funny presentation, is a scary truth. Last nights episode about open carry laws was brilliant.

I'm worried that legalising open carry undermines the legal sanctity of the second ammendment.

Wouldn't be funny to me if there wasn't. It's what gets me laughing.

That bit about the nuclear summit's logo made me cringe. God, is Fox really that evil? Or are they really that dumb? I pick the former, because deep down I really believe most educated people knew that the logo was chemical in nature, or at the very least a play on the nuclear clock. A muslim pander?? Really? Some of the stuff they do is close to being illegal. If I recall, inciting riots/violence is a punishable offense and Fox comes close to having had been doing that... all based on sensationalist lies.

Stewart does it too, where he'll go into a long serious discussion about some event, talk about logical courses of action, and the inevitably sober reaction of political groups.
"...FUCK!"

They used a nuke image for health care, they used one for the summit, they will use one for the financial reform.

They need to give Stewart an hourlong show and move him to network TV.

No. You do not fuck with a good recipe. More is not always better.

The diddling that networks would insist on to make Stewart palatable would totally fuck up the entire formula. Leave him where he is - relatively free to say whatever he wants without any real pressure.

Normally when Jon Stewart freaks out like that, it leaves me kinda meh. But that was brilliant.
