I honestly think Stewart's refusal to pretend Biden was still ok was instrumental in getting him to step down
All the "serious" news closed ranks for him, and even cable late shows like Colbert cracked a few jokes but still backed him.
Stewart was one of the few with the balls to say the bus was headed off a cliff and we needed to slam the brakes now instead of hoping we could land the jump.
I'm so glad he's back right now. I never got into the Trevor Noah version of the show, it was just a different show.
I mean, Jordan or Desi could easily carry the show.
Ronnie still needs some time, and if you haven't been watching Josh Johnson on standup you need to start.
He uploads a couple half hour sets a week, and it's all current topics. Dude could have his own show tomorrow and pull it off.
I started watching his stuff at some point during Covid, and when he made correspondent I knew he was going to be huge.
So it's great having Stewart come back occasionally, but they don't really need him, they've got the talent to do a second show like Colbert had back in the day even.
I would watch a Jordan Klepper show
They made one and it got canceled - I assume due to low number of viewers
I've always liked the daily show, regardless of host, but I don't really enjoy watching Jordan talk to morons anymore. Shit's too sad and scary now. the whole point is to just make fun of them and laugh and it's just really not as funny anymore
Anyone seen that crackhead Barney on insta? Now that shit is nuts. That's definitely something I'll admit I've found funny. lol
