I’m here for “Jon Stewart’s Daily Political Therapy Hour”
It’s just a half hour of screaming, followed by a half hour of crying
But that’s already every Monday, I don’t understand
I like that he’s doing this on Monday morning. It will be interesting to see how much he can influence the news cycle in that position.
This will definitely be good.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Jon Stewart is opening up about his highly anticipated return as host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, nearly nine years after leaving the nightly gig.
Though he has thoughts, Stewart — joining hosts Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson for an in-studio interview — was modest about the influence that his version of the show could have on real-world events.
Just weeks after the 2016 presidential election, Stewart had a similar approach speaking at an event in New York, quickly rejecting arguments put forth online that his version of The Daily Show could have influenced the results.
Ahead of his Monday return, Stewart also spoke with The Daily Show’s Ears Edition podcast about why he wanted to come back now.
“Generally, I will be doing it with choreographed dance moves,” Stewart joked of how that shift would affect his approach, before turning serious and arguing that quality content will find an audience.
The rest of the week, the series will be hosted by a rotating team of the show’s correspondents, who include Jordan Klepper, Desi Lydic, Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta and Dulcé Sloan.
The original article contains 906 words, the summary contains 185 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I will watch Jon Stewart’s Daily Show… IF.
The bare minimum paperwork, in 50 states, is filed for general election.
Jon Stewart (I as in I am definitely left leaning), write in candidate for President of the United States.
If he cant cash that check, I am not particularly interested in hearing his rhetoric. At this point.
This is possibly the dumbest thing I have read today.
So the only way you’re willing to listen to discourse is if the one speaking is a candidate for president? That’s absurd yet it’s kind of what you wrote.
To be honest, I was saying this largely because I was afraid that Jon was returning to shill for Biden and advance the “Union busting, rapidly expanding American poverty, global war, and genocide are okay as long as a Democrat is doing it” stance the Democrats have developed.
Well, I have seen a couple clips from his return, and that is not the case. I guess I got jaded in his absence. I should have known that Jon is better than that.
That said, I desperately want ANYONE other than Trump or Biden to take office next term.
Jon has the name recognition, he has the knowledge, and he has the passion.
My short list so far as been Bernie or Ro Khanna.
Since Jon wanted a voice in politics again, I wanted to add him to the short list of alternatives so he can put his money where his mouth is.
Back to the Future II already became reality when Trump got elected. Why cant Man of the Year become reality too?
