Do You Prefer Jon Stewart When He's Funny or Serious?
Note to self: Do not make Jon Stewart mad because he can and will unleash a world of pain on you. I, like many others, tuned in to the epic smackdown between Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer last night after a week of observing the two TV personalities feud, and it was breathtakingly somber — not to mention intense.
It started with funny yet biting commentary from Stewart on The Daily Show earlier in the week about the role of CNBC in our current financial meltdown and ended last night with a brutal "interview" of the host of Mad Money (my friend Citizen has the clips and more background on the feud).
Buzz In: What Are Your Favorite Daily Show Moments?
The Daily Show is celebrating 10 years with Jon Stewart as host this month, which seems amazing to me — I remember watching some of his earliest shows when I was still in high school! Variety has some awesome coverage of Stewart's anniversary, including a list of some of the most important moments in Daily Show history.
Most important is one thing — but what about funniest or most memorable?
CBS Scores Another Daily Show Alum: Rob Riggle
CBS's comedy department is starting to look a little like The Daily Show, Primetime Edition. Current Daily Show correspondent Rob Riggle has just signed a deal to create and star in a half-hour CBS comedy, following a similar deal by Samantha Bee and Jason Jones last week.
Riggle is committed to The Daily Show through the end of the year, but after that, he'll make the jump to CBS to start working on his show.
Samantha Bee and Jason Jones Take Their Funny to CBS
I love when my favorite Daily Show correspondents go on to do other cool things, and so I was happy to see this story that Samantha Bee and Jason Jones are co-writing a CBS comedy project in which they would also star.
Jones and Bee — who are married! I had no idea!
Stewart, Colbert Ratings Up — Even Without Writers
While most TV shows (even American Idol) aren't drawing the viewers they usually do during this strike-disrupted season, there's news this week of one big exception: Ratings for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report have soared since the two shows returned Jan. 7 without their writers. Both shows are drawing their biggest audiences of this season, and they're also up significantly over last year.
TV Tonight: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Return
Just in time to skewer the New Hampshire Primary, America's fake-news stalwarts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are returning to the air tonight. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report will be new for the first time since the writers' strike began in November.
But how will they do it without writers?
Jon Stewart Returns As Host Of The 2008 Oscars
It was just announced that Jon Stewart will return as host of the 2008 Academy Awards. The show airs Feb 24 and will be produced by Gil Cates, who also produced Jon's first time back in 2006 and must have taken a liking to "The Daily Show" anchor.
The only slightly odd part was that Jon's 2006 ratings were lower than both Chris Rock the year before and Ellen last year.
