better late than never i guess

this is gold, although i'm probably the only person on the planet who would care that didn't already know of it. Jon Stewart, the host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show went on CNN's Crossfire to 'have a chat'. Crossfire got axed and when it happened:"his scorching critique of television on CNN's Crossfire last fall was so dead-on that the network's president cited Stewart's indictment when he canceled the show in January." (Wired News story "Reinventing Television")

anyways, he went on Crossfire to speak his mind and certainly made the 35 year-old monkeyboy in a bow tie host look like a dickhead. as a kind of defense the idiot tried comparing their two shows (a political show vs. a comedy show. good try dipshit). the other Crossfire host came out ok i thought, at least he wasn't a tool.

video here at iFilm. video synopsis: Jon Stewart browbeats CNN's Crossfire hosts for their "partisan hackery." Many suspect this now-legendary appearance prompted CNN to remove the show from their line-up.

also, check his post-mortem from The Daily Show here.video synopsis: Comedy Central's self-described "funny monkey" rehashes the dressing down he gave Crossfire's stubborn hosts.
