For the interview segment, Stewart needs to go back to destroying helpless starlets a la the JenLoveHewitt classic.

That interview last night pissed me the fuck off, dudes.
Let's get a Schutzstaffel chaplain next to put a human face on the ovens. Or whoever the fuck is doing a book tour, since apparently nobody else wants to talk to poor Jon.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 22 March 2006 14:54 (twenty years ago)

Actually you know what in between the "Here's why black republicans are stupid tokens" segment and last night's guest I'm pretty much done with Jon Stewart. More John Hodgeman, though, please.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 22 March 2006 14:56 (twenty years ago)

he should just lose the interviews already

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 17:36 (twenty years ago)

He can't, that's 24 minutes of airtime a week. Losing ALL political figures (retirees possibly excepted) is the key.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 17:40 (twenty years ago)

he has to do the interviews, the format falls apart without them.

I really liked John Hodgeman's segment from...last week? week before? I think he's got a great mix of deadpan & absurdity that really fits into the show.

I'm still waiting for them to come up with a recurring bit I enjoyed as much as "Stephen & Stephen"

― kingfish da last ubermensch (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 17:43 (twenty years ago)

Hodgeman def is unusually low-key deadpan for even the brightest show on basic cable.

And black Republicans are stupid tokens.

"Silly Negroes."

It ain't 1870.

*sigh*

Even though I would disagree with her opinions, God forbid an African-American woman who's pro-life, homophobic, and completely batshit xenophobic from voting for someone who shares her same ideas.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 18:26 (twenty years ago)

just don't make her the nfl commish plz!

― j blount (papa la bas), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 18:28 (twenty years ago)

Haha!

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

Nobody's stopping her from voting, or from me calling her a dupe.

*high*

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 18:32 (twenty years ago)

Yes, why don't you tell ILX some more about ethnic minorities?

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 18:34 (twenty years ago)

That's right, Morb. Nobody's telling you to stop doing anything. No one's telling you to stop making generalized and asinine observations either. What a wonderful world.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 18:34 (twenty years ago)

dudes take it to the crash thread.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

The last thing that thread needs is more posts.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 20:07 (twenty years ago)

Demetri Martin ... so annoying.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 20:22 (twenty years ago)

intended or not, the contrast tonight between john mccain and studs terkel was pretty revealing.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 05:12 (twenty years ago)

(love ya studs)

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Stewart's fondness for diving on McCain's muff is pretty odious. The Studs interview nearly atoned.

Also, the McKinney-DeLay equivalence shows that this show is more like the Lehrer NewsHour than we admit; faux-evenhandedness blows.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 April 2006 13:45 (twenty years ago)

we get the global edition, 25 minutes every night. the Race Episode was last night, things i didn't think they'd get away with on us tv.

was also a report recently on french demonstrations tying it in with the rights for immigrants marches in the US. when he used the phrase 'minimum rage' the silence that accompanied it was great, like the audience couldn't decide whether to laugh or groan (or hurl abuse). great jokes for tivo owners on the lists as well.

― koogs (koogs), Friday, 7 April 2006 14:59 (twenty years ago)

tonight: Ted Kennedy. Let's see what his gait is like.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:34 (twenty years ago)

i cant wait! im such a ted fan. my insides go mushy whenever i see him.

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:43 (twenty years ago)

awww what a peach!

― sunny successor (katharine), Friday, 21 April 2006 02:29 (twenty years ago)

So then - what are y'all making of Dave Gorman?

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 22:35 (twenty years ago)

have seen him once, talking about the queen, but it seemed to me that they just needed someone with an english accent to read out the piece and that he didn't have much say in the content (it seemed to be very much in the house style, not gormanesque).

(current favourite contributor is the bloke they had on last night talking about the essay competition and who had the colour charts on the race show)(also nice to see demetri martin again too)

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 27 April 2006 07:33 (twenty years ago)

What is Gorman's background? If he's from UK TV, I've hardly seen any lately. (Yes, the Hodgeman thing was super.)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 27 April 2006 13:30 (twenty years ago)

english comedian best known for his projects. first one, that came out of a bet with his friend and ended up as an edinburgh show and tv series, was him flying around the world to meet as many people called dave gorman as he could. next was him religiously following his horoscope whilst his twin brother, the control, didn't. then there's the googlewhack stuff. funny, in a geeky way.

oh, this is going to tell you more than i possibly could:

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 27 April 2006 15:15 (twenty years ago)

that horoscope/twin idea is brilliant. how did it turn out? i hope they used jonathan cainer.

Nate Corddry, closeted Phish fan no more, thanks to his brother (2/3rds down)

Also, this man

is a big Depeche Mode fan.

Primo evidence for Stewart needing to interview showbiz folk only: "John Malkovich -- good neighbor."

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 8 May 2006 12:26 (twenty years ago)

lesbian tsunami.

am still undecided whether the people in the news segments are real people who don't realise (or just don't mind) they are being lampooned*, real people with a sense of humour, or actors. i guess that's the genius of it.

*the australian guy they had on the bit about canadian border patrols for instance.

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 18 May 2006 06:52 (twenty years ago)

Never actors that I've seen; those homeowners Samantha Bee was grilling on catastrophe preparedness were pure victims... (Woman produces 20-pound flashlight; "You won that round.")

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 18 May 2006 15:52 (twenty years ago)

"is that a BATTERY-OPERATED flashlight?"
"yes."
"you won that round."

― natalie portmanteau (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 18 May 2006 15:54 (twenty years ago)

It's amazing that people who seem that credulous still exist in the alleged Era of Media Saturation; they're similar to Coyle & Sharpe's victims in the early '60s.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 18 May 2006 15:59 (twenty years ago)

My favorite segment guy of recent is still by far and away the "security expert" who kept cursing and insisting that the "lesbionic" female prisoners of a low-security prison were going to "dildoize" the town's residents if they didn't erect a giant fence around the facility.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 18 May 2006 16:01 (twenty years ago)

They've used that guy more than once, IIRC.

― sinful caesar sipped his snifter (kenan), Thursday, 18 May 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

Yeah he's been on a bunch of times but the best is the prison one.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 18 May 2006 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Why didn't I have sex with John Hodgman when he was in town on his book tour?

― ¯\(º_o)/¯ (Chris Piuma), Thursday, 18 May 2006 19:53 (twenty years ago)

oh shit, he did that one? I need to find that torrent.

unfortunately, chris, the dude is taken.

― kingfish doesn't live here anymore (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 18 May 2006 19:56 (twenty years ago)

I remember now that Stewart interviewed Hodgman (re that book) before he began doing bits on the show.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 18 May 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

he did what one?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 18 May 2006 20:21 (twenty years ago)

Or maybe not.

Actually, yeah, Hodgman read off some of the hobo names. this is the vid of it, right?

― kingfish doesn't live here anymore (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 18 May 2006 20:37 (twenty years ago)

Yes but unless you are psychic are premonitionized Morbius's reply to...

never mind.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 18 May 2006 20:48 (twenty years ago)

Um.

― kingfish doesn't live here anymore (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 18 May 2006 20:49 (twenty years ago)

I'm just happy we got this far before seeing the phrase "hobo dick".
