Why What You Love Sucks: Jon Stewart…

The Daily Show = Funny. Jon Stewart = Not Funny. What?

I’m sick and tired of everyone riding this guy’s ego. He thinks he’s so snarky with his pulled clips and funny graphics and “reporters” live on the scene and interviews. Well, actually, those things are funny. So much so that they make up for John Stewart being as dull as a doorknob.

When Jon Stewart cuts to a graphic or clip = Funny.

When Jon Stewart cuts to someone else in-studio = Funny.

When Jon Stewart tells a joke = BOMB proceeded by him scrambling to make up for it with weird gestures and noises that elicit small pity applause from the crowd.

Don’t even get me started on his interviews. Pure, Grade-A Fluff. The interview segment on The Daily Show has always been weak because it’s fairly short, the guests have just enough time to plug their whatever and get the fuck out of there, and Jon Stewart COULD be using that six mins to crack wise but instead kisses ass.

Also, what’s with that phoney balogna name change, Mr. John Stuart Leibowitz? Hiding something? Don’t want people to know you’re Jewish? What’s your motive?

    John references the fact that he’s Jewish on pretty much every show (ok, that’s probably an exaggeration, but he does it pretty often nonetheless), so that last point is a touch flawed.

    why dog and pony show sucks – because you can’t take the time to fucking research how to properly spell someone’s name when you do a post about them. It’s Jon Stewart, you idiot.

    She’s right, you did spell it wrong.
