      I just wish he’d have gotten into politics.

      But I cant blame him after the hit job Al Franken got for being a progressive outsider.

        I don’t. His talents would have been wasted on them. He can do a lot more with his fame outside of the restrictive nonsense that politics brings.

        Al Franken had a conscience. When called on his mysoginy, he did the honorable thing and resigned. Sadly there are no more politicians like him.

      I’ve had major respect for him since he was on crossfire way back in the day. He took those guys to school and then beat them (verbally) like a rented mule. Crossfire went off the air shortly after his appearance. If you have never seen that episode do yourself a favor and go watch it.

    Watching The Colbert Report and Daily Show in the 2000s was something I always looked forward to each night. It’ll be nice to have Jon back, if only once a week.

    This is awesome! Love to have Jon Stewart back, and I also love to see the correspondents take over the host role more often.

    “The Problem with Jon Stewart” should have a high school or college course structured around it–it was a great series.

    It’s kind of a shame that Taylor Tomlinson didn’t get a shot at this instead of…whatever the terrible show she just started is.
