No kidding.
very serious. The daily show with craig was 10X better than the crud jon stewart puts out. stewart isn't funny at all to watch, just painful.
I personally don't give a rat's ass what a comedian's politics are, so long as the Comedian has the ability to make me laugh.
Stewart has failed me in that regard. The dude just ain't funny. He sucks major donkey. He is a comedic train wreck. It stuns me that such a mediocre person has been entrusted with such a big show.
Bobby Bittman, Schmenge Brothers, Bob and Doug; where are you?!
Agreed on that too - I never really like it with him. The format just wasn't a good fit. Probably why he left after only 5 years.
On one hand Stewart will say he has a comedy show, it's only make believe but on the other hand he takes himself seriously, writing books, and having a political agenda and venturing out onto Crossfire.
Bill Maher is an elitist. He treats his audience as stupid dopes, and expects them to pat him on the back. The sad thing is, so many of them do because they are stupid dopes for the most part.
But Maher ranks right up there with those who know the truth, but choose to promote their agenda with misinformation and propaganda, disguised as entertainment. Thinly disguised.
When he talks about Bush, it is obvious to me that he knows he is lying. He does something with his eyes and the set of his shoulders when he lies but wants people to believe he is telling the truth.
amen to that.....I tried to watch it a few times, but lately when it became obvious he is a Liberal and thats his agenda, to heck with him....hes not that funny either...to me he is more silly than funny...HE thinks he's funny and thats a big turn off....
Craig was funny and made the show fun...
I saw that CNN thing it was amusing.
you are SO RIGHT!!....he is not a "pundit" as they try to make out he is....I've called HBO a gzillon times and complained, they dont give a hoot all I get is some lame brain in a local office that doesnt know what I am talking about....
Bill Mahar is dangerous ... he will say ANYTHING and doesnt care about the consequences....
Is Steven Colbert the guy in the Goodwrench ads?
"Ooh, sorry! Miter saw is what we were looking for! Miter saw!"
I used to be a big fan of the show, but now I can't stomach it. I turned my mom on to it about 3 years ago and now she is a total Kool-aid drinking Lib. Pathetic. I blame Jon Stewart and NY Newsday for corrupting her. Is there a 12 step program I can find for her?? :)
Well, the first step is a steady diet of rush limbaugh 3 days a week...
Yes thats the guy. He is good. He also played Mr. Nesbit in the Comedy Central show "Strangers With Candy."
Yeah go to ifilm.dom. Is it me or is Tucker Calson just not really the right guy for that show? Even I don't like him because he gets steam rolled over too often.
Stewart's head got so big he forgot he was a comedian and started thinking he actually had something to say. Evidently, people are using their remotes to disagree.
I quit watching The Daily Show when Craig Kilborn left for the CBS gig. I haven't watched his CBS gig to date. Craig Kilborn was funny, hip and always had a reason for me to tune in. Stewart is just a DNC clown, pure and simple.
Comedy is what got him to where he is and now he is more Margaret Cho than Bill Murray. Not funny.
