It is easy being john stewart. You get rich by pointing out the faults of others while offering no real solution to the problems.

why do GoPers watch Stewart? why do liberals watch FoxNews?
why would you consume a product that you know you will not like?

Still trying to figure out how ComedyCentral could afford to pay him $30 mm per year. Good coin for 88 minutes of broadcasting per week..

Probably hauled in a ton more advertising cash than your typical cable show given the very focused audience- young dumb people.
I did watch the daily show a lot in high school and it made me laugh a lot - having carrell and colbert as correspondents back then made it great too. But it really is a giant pat on the back party. When Stewart engaged conservatives with honesty and understanding he was great, but those moments were few and far between
You have some kind of problem with a man accumulating wealth? Your criticism has a bit of anti free enterprise ring to it...He is just a comedian, remember his show appears on the comedy channel...when did comedians start solving problems?
Stewart came to the tower on 69th street a long time ago and his best joke was:
"If this is upper darby I dont want to see lower darby"
"If this is upper darby I dont want to see lower darby"
I have zero problem with people accumulating wealth. I do have a problem with people who grandstand like Jon Stewart. Thats why he has such an easy job. He sits there, insults anyone in the public eye while contributing little to nothing for society.
Strongly agree.
That little jew's night-after-night insulting of President Obama was unconscionable.

He accumulated wealth because he was the best at grandstanding. I am okay at people that accumulate wealth in activities that I don't agree with. Like MLS players.
For what it's worth:
44% - Female
56% - Male
Identical breakdown to that of his pal, Bill O'Reilly.

- Daily Show - 37%
- Rush - 30%
- O'Reilly - 29%
- Hannity - 29%

You sounded a bit bitter that he had become rich in your original post...as if he hadn't rightfully earned it and wasn't entitled to it....Can you think of any others both liberal and right wing who just throw barbs and offer no solutions?...is it that unusual?
of all these tv talking heads who is actually good? who adds value to your lives?
i always liked Kilborn's late late show cause he never took himself seriously and made his show into what it is supposed to be a fun hr of tv, not a political agenda.
the old conan on NBC late night was good. tbs' conan sucks.

The only "men" I know who watch the DS are W&M grads living in Arlington, VA.
I'm of the opinion that the Daily Show (and Colbert) took a steep turn downhill when Bush left the White House. Staying on for six and a half years of the Obama presidency damaged what he built in the eight years of Bush.
Totally agree about the engaging conservatives thing. His debates with Judge Andrew Napolitano and the rapport he has with Bill O'Reilly are Stewart at his best.
