Aside from everything else good about Jon Stewart, is that he may well have helped millions of people to become better media critics themselves in terms of seeing through the lies and spin of the mainstream and cable news networks with a keenly humorous eye.

@pipercat10 Sick? You think he was sick? How so? Or is it just that your ideology is opposed to his and therefore he is the "other", the tribe who is not your tribe. And because of course your tribe is the pure tribe, they must be sick. Is that what's going on? That's what it sounds like but please, correct me if I'm wrong.
WOW! +Mihir P and +TheBaconPig. you know not what you missed all those years! The Daily Show was the best!!! Trevor Noah took over and picked up where Stewart left off and is now the host of the show. Noah is doing a really good job of following in Stewart's foot steps. He's not quite yet as seasoned as Stewart, but he is well on his way!
Samantha Bee is just a comedian who creates jokes about anyone who hurts the democratic party. She is a establishment prick who just defends anything democrats do. Jon stewart is more critical of both sides and call out bullshit as he sees it.
Except Samantha Bee is known to be just as honest and critical against Dems and Hilary as she is against Republicans and Trump. It only appears to be one-sided nowadays because one of them is the President and one is sitting at home on the couch. She bashes the democrats and their voting base (or lack of voting base) all the time.
The genius of Jon Stewart is Jon Stewart. He’s literally a genius. Dude could have done whatever he wanted and chose to do what he loves. Much respect.
devraj jee No you are not, but don't you worry with the way things are going it'll be harder for america and anyone ekse to get it wrong in the future.
I only hope Jon Stewart continues bringing the truth to people and exposing the lies of political power players. If he does not, truth will be harder to come by in the country.
Trevor Noah is average at best and does a decent job but the daily show has covered way more pop culture under Noah. Colbert does a decent job at covering politics but is way to mainstream to carry a show about politics. John Oliver is about the best we got now for actual factual news that calls people out on bullshit. Jon Stewart will be missed
1:12. The map of India is wrong. In India we show the whole Kashmir in India while according to international standards, the part controlled by India is shown in India and the part controlled by Pakistan is shown in Pakistan. You even put Jammu out of India which isn't even disputed.
Stephen Colbert is perfect for it and John Oliver has his thing over at HBO so we won't be missing out on comedy news but we will miss Jon Stewart alot.
Jon Stewart cannot be replaced. As much as I like Trevor Noah, Jon's shoes are simply too big to fill. The reason people loved and respected him is because not only was he funny as hell, but he was totally authentic and spoke the truth without the spin you so often see on mainstream media.People trusted him, plain and simple. Jon we miss you!
Fugelsang is spot on! A lot of people will support liberal positions if the word "liberal" is not attached. It has a negative connotation, rather than conservative. These are called conflicted conservatives.
That South African lad would be a great choice, I'm not sure of his political stance, I think his name is Noah or something African sounding. Really funny lad
Because it's disputed and a hot topic on the msm are a bunch of cowards. I don't even care one way ort the other - i habe no dog in that fight - but Christ i wish the networks would grow a backbone.
Yeah, we were upset because he did a better job reporting on the news then media companies like CNN. We needed a comedian to give us news coverage because you are doing such a poor job.
@ 1:16 & 1:17, you guys have removed whole Jammu & Kashmir state from India's map. I have very high respect for Jon Stewart and The Daily Show, but you can't be so ignorant while it comes to a Nations Map. We understand that some western media removes some parts of Kashmir while depicting India's map but to take out whole state itself, come on, at least verify with Google Maps.
PrincessTS01 Jimmy Dore? Maybe once upon a time, but no more.. I really like Jimmy, but he has lost his objectivity, humor and unfortunately, credibility over his white hot hatred of Hillary Clinton and the DNC. He can't entertain any information which doesn't support his early determination that the only reason Clinton lost was because she was the worst thing to ever happen, period. And she was terrible.. and the dnc o Is still fucked.. but for example, he won't entertain any information which suggests Russia interfered because it's not perfectly conducive with his anti-dnc/Hillary narrative. Somebody like that can't keep people honest because he can't keep himself honest. Again, love the guy, but he's lost his objectivity - he's made up his mind about everything, and he judges new information by whether or not it matches his existing belief system - not by whether it matches reality.
o.o - it scares me that this piece says ...... a comedy show based in satire..... is seen as the counter weight to keep a show claiming to air 'legitimate news' in check .....really? THOSE are your standards? wow
unfortunately, no one is replacing the fox counterbalance. Also to CNN... which is funny im wondering why they are doing this. He doesnt have the highest praise for CNN among other networks either.
No they ain't it's more like MSNBC is more for the left CNN is in the middle but they really really try to find anything with story value. Doesn't matter left or right for CNN. Simple feed of videos on their channels of CNN and fox news will back me up on that.
I don't have a problem with commentators on the left or the right, who state their viewpoints explicitly and then try to defend those viewpoints. Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Rush Limbaugh and their ilk all have their faults, but they approach debate in an honest manner. That would include O'Reilly, even though he interrupts and is rude and occasionally namecalls. Stewart's comedy, in contrast, always begins with a Strawman Argument of his ideological opponent's viewpoint, which he then proceeds to bash with an Appeal to Ridicule, and then top off with an Ad Hominem attack. His show is funny, he;s a great entertainer, but he also is a propagandist in the truest sense of the world, and he does a great disservice to our democracy

+Anthony Haller which is why i don't get why any educated and thinking person would have that adopted into their philosophy or political ideology in some way. How can you be against progress especially when so much of it is tied into scientific fact? ...sorry, not saying anything new, i know. just having my mind wander, im exhausted :P
Is liberalism “smug”? In an essay for Vox, Emmett Rensin says yes. “There is a smug style in American liberalism,” he writes. “It has been growing these past decades. It is a way of conducting politics, predicated on the belief that American life is not divided by moral difference or policy divergence … but by the failure of half the country to know what’s good for them.” This “smug style” is informed by programs like The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and its offshoots, The Colbert Report and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. It manifests on Twitter and Facebook, in tweets and status updates and displays of liberal arrogance. It’s present in how liberals talked about figures like Kim Davis, how they relate to people who disagree with them, in public and private. www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/04/is_liberalism_smug.html
Jon's retirement literally led to the collapse of late night, they had every reason to be concerned. Now you have Colbert, Oliver, and Noah just cussing and making immature (sexual) jokes about Trump and co. There's no attempt at humor, it's just militant 'liberal' politically-correct bullshit! They summed it up perfectly, Jon Stewart's liberalism was a critique on society and a haven for progressiveness. Now the only way to keep Fox in check is to act like a butthurt middle schooler on late night 'comedy'.
Aside from everything else good about Jon Stewart, is that he may well have helped millions of people to become better media critics themselves in terms of seeing through the lies and spin of the mainstream and cable news networks with a keenly humorous eye.
***** Oh yeah, I forgot about that when Viacom was looking at taking over CNN.
Mohamed El ElaYes, fuck you all on CNN ...agree

it sucks that I only found out about jon stewart and watched him after he left the show
I'm in the same boat
WOW! +Mihir P and +TheBaconPig. you know not what you missed all those years! The Daily Show was the best!!! Trevor Noah took over and picked up where Stewart left off and is now the host of the show. Noah is doing a really good job of following in Stewart's foot steps. He's not quite yet as seasoned as Stewart, but he is well on his way!
me too
same here :(
you poor bastards
John Oliver is actually doing a good job of filling the void.
Absolutely love him but he hasn't gone after fox......yet
I think Samantha Bee is great as well.
Samantha Bee is just a comedian who creates jokes about anyone who hurts the democratic party. She is a establishment prick who just defends anything democrats do.

I know this comment is 4+ years old but Trevor Noah is eating everyone's lunch in this category
Hmm I remember him hitting CNN pretty hard too
Yup but he really hit fox news the most even on his last episode. CNN admitted he was right.fox news hated him when he right.
Jon Stewart was a modern Mark Twain, or Will Rogers. He may be the best of a generation... perhaps a century.
The genius of Jon Stewart is Jon Stewart. He’s literally a genius. Dude could have done whatever he wanted and chose to do what he loves. Much respect.
"Colbert, Maher, Wilmore" ...and OLIVER!!!
Good to see that CNN is practicing self reflection when called for.
Am I the only one who is bothered with the map of India?
devraj jee We need kashmir on the maps pl
devraj jee
No you are not, but don't you worry with the way things are going it'll be harder for america and anyone ekse to get it wrong in the future.
It was on fox news. What else to expect from the genius of FOX.
I am
Toori Baba chup kar sala chutiya
I only hope Jon Stewart continues bringing the truth to people and exposing the lies of political power players. If he does not, truth will be harder to come by in the country.
When Jon Stewart steps down, who will hold Fox News accountable?
We know it won't be any of the lame stream commentators.
Some More News, does a good job
Trevor Noah is average at best and does a decent job but the daily show has covered way more pop culture under Noah. Colbert does a decent job at covering politics but is way to mainstream to carry a show about politics. John Oliver is about the best we got now for actual factual news that calls people out on bullshit. Jon Stewart will be missed
John Fugelsang is actually amazingly good at speaking. he should write for a candidate
When Jon Stewart crazy like Fox News
1:12. The map of India is wrong. In India we show the whole Kashmir in India while according to international standards, the part controlled by India is shown in India and the part controlled by Pakistan is shown in Pakistan.
You even put Jammu out of India which isn't even disputed.
Stephen Colbert is perfect for it and John Oliver has his thing over at HBO so we won't be missing out on comedy news but we will miss Jon Stewart alot.
I LOVE YOU JON STEWART :(
It was a sad day. Truely the end of an era.
Jon Stewart cannot be replaced. As much as I like Trevor Noah, Jon's shoes are simply too big to fill. The reason people loved and respected him is because not only was he funny as hell, but he was totally authentic and spoke the truth without the spin you so often see on mainstream media.People trusted him, plain and simple. Jon we miss you!
Fugelsang is spot on! A lot of people will support liberal positions if the word "liberal" is not attached. It has a negative connotation, rather than conservative. These are called conflicted conservatives.
Fugelsang did good in this. Where is his TV show ?
Trevor Noah does the show now, and he's great. Oh, mama, that dimple!
Going to miss Jon Stewart. Would be interesting to hear what he thinks of Fugelsang.
jon stewart comedy central was my favorite show.
John oliver is a good replacement, but he probably gonna stay on HBO.
Your not paying attention. Oliver is committed to Letterman's job.
what? what does Letterman have to do with this. your probably thinking of colbare
Zackry Smit Oliver has just started his own show. He can't bail (contract signed) on that and take over from Stewart?
Stu Bee Evan if he could leave to host the daily show i think he would rather continue doing LWT cuz it looks like he enjoys what he does.
+Stu Bee I don't understand why he necessarily has to be on the daily show his show is great and he has done a great job
Point of order: comparing Jon Stewart to Bill Maher is absurd and insulting.
Incredible how they completely ignore the reason why Jon isn't trashing CNN so much ;-p
John Oliver
Still have an old ad of when Jon Stewart debuted on The Daily Show from 1998. 1998! Slamming George W.Bush 8 years but being hearty after 9/11.
Hearty?!? Did he turn into a soup or something?
John Stewart my hero!!!!!
More real news when jon Stewart was on Comedy Central...Now theres Comedy in Fake News
That's why they got Trevor Noa, he doesn't go against the establishment. Trevor "prefers to keep his millionaire friends".
What young people didn't like Jon Stewart? Apart from young people from devout christian conservative families...
I thought that the thumbnail was from one of his shows making fun of CNN and Fox lol.
That South African lad would be a great choice, I'm not sure of his political stance, I think his name is Noah or something African sounding. Really funny lad
Why does the India map not have Jammu and Kashmir even though it controls it
i thinking the exact same thing
+Karanbir Singh Bhullar i was*
Ayush Vikram the same reason people don't include Puerto Rico in US maps. (I know this is old but still)
Because it's disputed and a hot topic on the msm are a bunch of cowards. I don't even care one way ort the other - i habe no dog in that fight - but Christ i wish the networks would grow a backbone.
Wich episode is it at 0:54?
The volume is too LOW
1:32 when you just want the camora to be on you
3:40 I don't know if Billy Wilder said it, but if he did he got it from Oscar Wilde 🙄
Is it me or did America go downhill right after Stewart left
Jon was the best!
A small point (and I know I am nit-picking here). The mentioned quote is not from Billy Wilder but G.B. Shaw. At least that´s its earliest occurrence.
I'm surprised that fugelsang would be so worried about being Centrist
SOUND is just HORRIBLE...can't hardly hear it at all unless on FULL BLAST LOUDNESS
What's with all the past tense in this?
Yeah, we were upset because he did a better job reporting on the news then media companies like CNN. We needed a comedian to give us news coverage because you are doing such a poor job.
Trevor! Trevor! Trevor!
CNN's coverage does not need to be repackaged by a comedian to obtain a laugh. That's why there is no need for a conservative comedian counterpart.
Who watches the watchmen?
We're gonna miss u john
I thought Seth Rollins was his favorite foe.
@ 1:16 & 1:17, you guys have removed whole Jammu & Kashmir state from India's map. I have very high respect for Jon Stewart and The Daily Show, but you can't be so ignorant while it comes to a Nations Map. We understand that some western media removes some parts of Kashmir while depicting India's map but to take out whole state itself, come on, at least verify with Google Maps.
We have give Kashmir special statusit Indiana fact that you have roads and bridges and schools. Same on your you all killed Hindu pandits
Bhaskar Paladugu it is Fox's map nitwit
Ugh this is when the world was plagued by Trevor noah
it was oscar wilde not billy wilder
Eight years later nobody knows this guy
Jimmy Dore would be good replacement for Jon Stewart
PrincessTS01 Jimmy Dore? Maybe once upon a time, but no more.. I really like Jimmy, but he has lost his objectivity, humor and unfortunately, credibility over his white hot hatred of Hillary Clinton and the DNC. He can't entertain any information which doesn't support his early determination that the only reason Clinton lost was because she was the worst thing to ever happen, period.
And she was terrible.. and the dnc o
Is still fucked.. but for example, he won't entertain any information which suggests Russia interfered because it's not perfectly conducive with his anti-dnc/Hillary narrative. Somebody like that can't keep people honest because he can't keep himself honest. Again, love the guy, but he's lost his objectivity - he's made up his mind about everything, and he judges new information by whether or not it matches his existing belief system - not by whether it matches reality.
5:27 which country's map is that you SOB.
How does Brian Stelter have this job?
Brian Williams replace Stewart?! That's pretty good
o.o - it scares me that this piece says ...... a comedy show based in satire..... is seen as the counter weight to keep a show claiming to air 'legitimate news' in check .....really? THOSE are your standards? wow
unfortunately, no one is replacing the fox counterbalance. Also to CNN... which is funny im wondering why they are doing this. He doesnt have the highest praise for CNN among other networks either.
So they hired someone who is yet to become good joke teller. In my opinion Bassem Youssef would be a better replacement for Jon Stewart.
I nominate Lewis Black to as new the daily show host.
How about you???????
Jon’s replacement could not have been any better!
Trevor Noah will be a great replacement
actually cnnn is jon stewart's fav foe(subject)?!!!
CNN’s best reporting ever done?
The definition of liberal has changed since this show. 🤷🏽♂️
Lmao CNN pretending they aren't the Fox News of the left...
No they ain't it's more like MSNBC is more for the left CNN is in the middle but they really really try to find anything with story value. Doesn't matter left or right for CNN. Simple feed of videos on their channels of CNN and fox news will back me up on that.
holy fuck the map @0:21 looks just like the statistics of current election
Those were the 2012 election results I think
frank ocean
Get john oliver .
I like this; decent real discussion about the influence of TDS and where it could go after Jon's (sad) departure.
Why does the Kettle call the Pot Black ?
I swear anyone can make these observations. ANYONE! "Expert" panels are so cliched! :D

You realize that this is exactly what John Stewart would have made fun of CNN for.
