Best bit since his last Glenn Beck parody, words can't describe how awesome that was.

I thought the interview with the tea party kid was better than the Bernie retort. I'm betting that Jon is pissed that he didn't simply have him on for the entire show. He was having a tough time being restrained and not just absolutely annihilate every single syllable that came out of that kid's mouth. Seriously, every single thing that kid said was bullshit. Hell he lied about the recent tea party polls - no they're not an even bunch of Dems, Republicans, and independents, and you can't not know that Jon already knows that.

It almost seemed to me like he just had the guy on because he wanted to prove how conciliatory he was to people with different ideas. He seemed to be much more restrained than usual, because there were multiple avenues of attack that he could have gone down. He could have brought up the conservative nature of the healthcare bill, how often something similar to the bill was supported by conservative congressmen, thinktanks, and state governors, and he could have questioned how many people in the healthcare polls actually understood the bill.Ready Up Already said:
And anyway, I would have to see that "Tea Party poll", but it seemed shady to me. I believe that the guest said 50% were identified as Republicans. How many actually identified as Democrats then? How many have actual "progressive ideals" (for lack of a better word)? How many of those independents are Republicans who just don't want to be attached to that brand name for whatever reason?

Loved it.
I liked the interview very much. Very civil.
The O'Hara fellow seemed nice and genuine, but he seemed somewhat in denial about some aspects about the Tea Party.
No doubt he meant the things he said on a personal level.

Haven't had time to watch anything at all this week and decided to start on my backlog with Tuesday's episode due to all the comments here. Now, the moment of zen, the Iceland comment... I cannot believe that these people can become news anchors. They are people who are paid to disseminate information for millions upon millions of people >_<

Jon Stewart opens talking about fellow comedy central employees Matt Stone and Trey Parker received death threats from an extremist Islamic group. John explains that this group is located in New York City of all places... in fact in the shadow of the former trade towers. This group openly supports Osama Bin Laden and 9/11. They are allowed to do this and enjoy the benefits of living in this country because of America's Freedom of Speech, the same freedom of speech they are infringing on. Jon Stewart explains that they have made fun of plenty of religious groups on the show and have never received death threats. Cue EPIC montage making fun of Jewish people, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and Atheist. Jon brings Aasiv Mandvi onto the show that explains that he is a liberal Muslim and even though he may have been slightly offended by the show, he is even more offended by a group under his religion sending death threats to another human being. Aasif leaves and then Jon explains that he wants to call this group a certain phrase.... but he doesn't want to say the term in the same way he says it about groups like Fox News and others. Jon states that no matter what Fox News says, they are still decent human beings and people he disagrees with. He explains that this group of people is nowhere near that. He then busts out a gospel choir singing "GO FUCK YOURSELF"
Hope I summed it up decently

My favorite one-line dig from Jon is this gem from 2005:
"...and to you, Bill O'Reilly, Feliz Navidad. Although I'm sure you're concerned that THAT'S getting too prevalent in this country as well...

And totally out of nowhere. The pun itself was bad (like all good puns are), but the celebration just took it to another level. It started kind of funny, but the finale just sealed the deal.

It is too long to properly make a GIF out of. If you mean just the balloon drop then it is fine. The awesomeness after that is too long to contain into one decent sized gif.Pankaks said:

Seems that way. It got me when Stewart read a quote and Blackwell looked at him as though to say, "That's a dumb idea."
Daily Show clip is now up for those interested in Jon's take on the iphone situation.

I actually kind of feel bad for him. The economy is tanking and he just wants to sell some copies of his conspiracy rag.
