If this comedy routine doesn’t change the world then I’m going to have to pass

I like the kind of comedy that isn't funny but gets results

there were a lot of posts about that rally in October 2010 on this thread. it's hilarious that Kid Rock played

It's the kind of comedy that feels like it's somehow politically consequential, but really isn't, unless it's consequence is to make the audience feel like their attitude of superiority to politics has been validated.

personally i thought the bit was good

To me, comedy and art can be good at pointing out problems, but should not be tasked with fixing them.

Thanks to an expert monologue, the 9-11 first responders were instantly healed.

what's the story here with JS returning to TDS? is it a temp thing? was that the first show back? (audience response suggests it was)

It's once a week apparently

Stewart hosts on Mondays & Jordan Klepper hosts Tue-Fri

And yes, it’s temporary

It was a good monologue and preaching back to the converted obviously has useful therapeutic (as well as comedic) value. Admittedly I laughed the most at a non-political gag ("Perhaps it was my fault for sleeping in a meat dehydrator").

he must have felt lonely during the trump years. he couldn't make funny. it was kinda like he had retired.

i didn't really miss him but i REALLY don't miss trevor noah as the grammys reminded me.

if anything trevor noah was even more sanctimonious than JS and that's a really hard thing to be.

john oliver's shaming sanctimony owns. for me. stewarts mugging can get old but he charismaticly frustrated, so that offsets a bit.

just need the Knepper character to call Stewart a melt every Monday, and I think we'll all be OK
