Jon Stewart is a funny, funny man

Comedy is a very subjective thing, but to my tastes, Jon Stewart is one of the mostly consistently funny men in the business today, and his work on the Daily Show has become flat-out brilliant. His humor just clicks with me.

Agree? Disagree? Prefer Carrot Top?

I first met Jon around '88 at a club in the Village. He was getting the 2am slots, and I'd watch him thinking, "Damn. His stuff is good." His only problem was that no one laughed. He was either too aloof, too cerebral, or too inexperienced to care enough about how he looked or held himself on stage, or whether or not he was actually engaging the people in the room.

But he had a style and a wit, and he stuck to his guns, and stayed away from the dick jokes, and a few years later he was working the 10:30 spots and doing fairly well, and he had everyone's respect.

Except mine. There was a hot waitress I was working, and Jon laid her. Fucking prick bastard.

I thought the Daily Show would suck after Craig Kilborn left. God was I wrong. John Stewart is perfect. I loved his original talk show and I couldn't undertand why no one else watched.

I figured you'd disagree about this one, DCL.

I lost a bit of respect for him when he did his same 5 year old material on SNL as though it were totally new stuff.

LOL

The waitress had fine taste. He is rather adorable. I'd say he's the closest thing I have to a man crush.

His standup bit is good, but I definitely think that the Daily Show format is perfect for him. He interacts well with the guests, and is very quick on his feet.

But I was cuter. I had the better spots. And I made shit disappear. Who wouldn't fuck me?

Rat fucking bastard.

That's okay. At least I had the pleasure of watching Dave Atell never get laid. Heh-heh.

I've heard he's a midget, is this true?

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Yes.

And Colin Quinn is a hand puppet voiced by Frank Oz.

He'd be much funnier if that were true.

And Jon Stewart does indeed rock.

I've been meaning to ask you: what are your thoughts on Kevin & Bean?

 

[Rambling Rose]

Jon Stewart is my kinda guy. Sorry Dixon, but I'm with the waitress on this one.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Rose, I'm telling you, the girl was mine, and that fucking dwarf swooped and asked her out first. He laid her for a couple of months and dumped her broken hearted. I would have dumped her after the first night, and the pain would have been far less.

Who's the gentleman now?

Never heard of them. Do they sell ice cream?

You never cease to crack me up. I know I find you funny.

Oh wait that wasn't the point was it...gentleman? hmm...

I am a fan too. I used to watch his mtv show. I really like the daily show.
I want have bagels with him.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I LOVE bagels. I used to work in a magic shop over a Bagel store in Manhattan, and we had bagels every day. Bagels with cream cheese, chicken salad, everything! Have bagels with me? How come Jon gets all the girls who likes bagels? Rat mother-fucking bastard.

Of course, I stole girls away from Rondel Sheridan and Alan Havey, who aren't as famous as Jon, but, hey, it's something , man.

Do you eat lox? That could be it. Goyum.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

No lox. I was raised Roman Catholic. I'm pretty sure it's forbidden. Except on Friday. As I recall, you can do anything you want on Friday. Murder even. Just keep it on a Friday.

It's been a while. I could be wrong.

Murder yes, meat no. And even then all you have to do is confess. I mean, it's not like any sin is permenant for a catholic! Say your hail mary's. do the Vatican rag and you're scot free!

 

[tortoise]

I dig that cartoon where Vatican J. Frog does the Vatican rag.

"Hello my baby, hello my darlin, hello my ragtime gaaaal..."

 

[tortoise]

Which begs the question (somehow): are froglegs kosher?

 

[Ginny]

alex might know this.....<nodding>

 

[peachykeen]

Love Jon! Was a guest on his show once; very nice guy. Even better looking in person, and smart smart smart.
