I'm glad Jon Stewart is coming back and I wish he never left the Daily Show at all. His commentary during Trump would've been legendary if he stayed.

I was kinda dumbfounded when 60 Minutes interviewed Trevor Noah and it turned out Stewart had hand-picked him to be his replacement. Like what the gently caress man, the Daily Show needs a second Jon Stewart to host it, not whatever unfunny poo poo Trevor Noah is.

I remember the first time he took the helm of The Daily Show I didn't know who he was and I didn't think he was going to do as good a job as the previous host. Now I don't even remember who originally hosted the show. I also don't really watch anymore, but I hope he is returning because he wants to, and not because he wasn't able to make enough money doing his own projects.

Wasn't it Craig Kilborn and they had the exploding head animation where they would ask the guest like 5 really weird questions?

I don't think the original host had guests at all. The Daily Show didn't start having guests until some time around the very late 90s/early 2000s. In fact I remember watching the very first episode where they had a guest, as well as a bunch of eps from before that.

Unless they had guests before that and just stopped doing it for awhile when Jon took over.

To be fair, the Daily Show under Jon Stewart had a pretty loving huge cultural impact on America and I'd even go so far as to say that Trump might've lost in 2016 had Stewart stuck around through the election. Hell if he was around in 2020 he could've significantly helped reshape the national discourse on COVID, or at least curbed a big chunk of the hoax/antivax poo poo for a few months longer (although a timeline where Trump wasn't president would beg the question of would we still have had to deal with COVID at all).


EDIT: To clarify, I'm NOT blaming Jon Stewart for Trump or COVID or anything like that. I'm just saying things might've happened a little bit differently had Stewart stayed on the show, since he had a pretty big presence. Maybe Trump still would've won anyway, who knows. :shrug:

Yeah it used to be way more of a current events show, although it stayed that way for awhile after Stewart took over. The shift over to politics didn't really start until Bush got elected and 9/11 happened, iirc.

Sorry, I worded that badly. We still would've had to deal with COVID; we just probably wouldn't have hosed up the response as bad if literally anyone besides Trump was in charge.

This just doesn't make any loving sense at all. Jon Stewart announced and retired from The Daily Show before Trump even announced he was running for president.

But sure, lets blame Jon Stewart because who else do we have to blame?

He was actually still hosting when Trump came down the elevator because he did a head in hands bit because he had just announced his retirement.

He also hosted during Trump's 2012 run. I think in one episode Jon even explicitly said he really hoped Trump would run for president in 2012 because of how hilariously stupid he was and how much material they could mine from Trump doing Trump things.

Yeah, and over the first two weeks after Stewart took over he progressively reduced the segments questions to "ween viewers off the format".
