Jon Stewart is quite awesome in my book. He is legit funny and he put the Daily Show on the map with being officially a comedy show (and it was hilariously funny) but at the same time being just about the only reliable news source as he just cut through the political bullshit from both sides (again, in a super funny way). He has great interviews with politicians where he calls them out on their bullshit so hard that you wonder why any politician would still want to do interviews with him, but yet they kept coming.

Thing is, you can tell that he researches and knows the subjects that he talks about and he actually cares, so if during interviews the guy comes up with some bullshit arguments Jon would typically tear him a new hole with actual facts. He was like the original “he crushed that guy” guy. IIRC, he (temporarily) crushed ticket Carlson’s career by literally ending tickets show overnight with an interview. Unfortunately, Jon retired and Tucker was fucking back.

His show also was the birth place of other comedians like john Oliver (who went on to make the similar great show “last week tonight”), Steve carell, and Stephen Colbert

The guy following after him, Trevor Noah, was just a sad little shadow, honestly, and in stoked to hear Jon is back as he has shown that he hasn’t lost his touch.
