I love the guy and the courageous left-leaning progressive stances and slandering he’s doing to the you-know-who administration atm.
I think he’s up there with Ruby Setnik, Romesh Ranganathan and Stephen Colbert as my favourite leftist satirist, and his podcast is such a fun time-waster of a audio frequency too.
But I respect your opinion if you aren’t a big fan of his.
He’s awesome
Jon is on the side of common sense and that’s his biggest advantage. If you look at his career as a whole you’ll see that he’s not afraid to call out absurdities and injustices regardless of what side of the aisle it comes from. He critiques government, not just republicans.
Also incase you haven’t picked up on it from others, you’re using the word ‘slander’ incorrectly.
And not even using the word ‘slander’ incorrectly to be able to quote j jonah jameson
He’s my favourite Green Lantern. Sure, his constructs aren’t as inventive as Hal Jordan’s, and he’s not as powerful, but I think h-… Ooooohhhh that guy. Oh…
Guy has called out abuses of power, non-stop, for decades. What’s not to like?
And he doesn’t just do it on his show for ratings. Guy stood the fuck up, in person, in DC, for 9/11 responders for YEARS to get them what they deserved.
It’s not slander if it’s true or satire.
He started Tucker Carlson’s villain arc, which is at least hilarious. He has a higher hit rate than most but also occasionally suffers from old man syndrome. As progressive as he started, he is now an affluent old white man that’s been insulated from hardship for decades, and sometimes suffers from the lack of contact with reality that results from that.
i remember he was making fun of his boy- bowtie and he stopped wearing it after. conservatives and thier wealthy supporters(who arent neccesarily cons themselves) care alot about thier appearances.
RIP the bowtie
He is something good coming from the US, so you can inagine how precious and important he is.
He would make a good president
Please, no more celebrities.
Very intelligent guy. He was always aware of his privilege and used his position to fight for the right things. Amazing interviewer.
He is a traitor to America and the American people! Who does he think he is to abandon me on my vacation! I have had an entire week with no Daily Show! Please come back Jon.
What a bastard, Columbus day indeed!
Oh! America has Columbus Day on Original Thanksgiving day. T.I.L.
I generally like him, but he can be frustrating because his general mindset seems to be that of the comfortable liberal. Sure he sees problems, but he’s wealthy and comfortable and doesn’t really want the system changed because it works for him and at the end of the day that matters more than the people currently getting hurt. Order and property like all the rest.
Thats why so many of his takes seem focused on market solutions. He’s a capitalist who refuses to acknowledge that capitalism is the inherit source of all the issues he claims to care about. So no matter how much I enjoy his wit or comedy he’ll always come across as somewhat hypocritical.
Yeah but have you tried John Stewart on weed, man?
The best way to approach famous people with good points is to agree with their takes while not necessarily idolizing them
He’s my favorite Green Lantern
Lanterns ended up being a solid show…assuming they allow it to be a miniseries.
I did enjoy it, but I’d prefer they not do thr TV show format for Green Lanterns moving forward. The writing, character development, casting, and acting was all quite good, there just was not NEARLY enough Green Lantern-ing. And it was interesting what they were able to do with a limited setting, but I don’t ever want to see that Nebraskan town or anyone in it ever again. Except the kid, for obvious reasons.
4 years from now when there is a Green Lantern movie, the climax will take place in Rushville and somewhere in the world, I will be hearing a feint scream.
Remember that James Gunn is on the record as saying that they want the DCU to follow the "graphic novel format rather than the MCU’s comicbook format. Things will be more themed and relatively self contained. See Lanterns as a True Detective story and Clayface as a straight A24 or Neon style body horror film.
Probably why John Stewart’s patrol beat at the end of Lanterns is more focused. More investigation, less super powers.
I do overall prefer the idea of that approach. I like shared universes but Marvel for example has become droll with every movie or show being a trailer for the next slop content and nothing else. So I liked it, don’t get me wrong. But I have some notes…and if this is the only GL thing we’re getting I don’t know if I’d say I’m “satisfied”, especially given the completely lack of GL content since… ever. I am on board enough to continue watching the DCU though.
Oh goddammit ya got me good. The ole made ya
lookgoogle.
Top tier comedic timing and master of facial expression physical comedy. He just brings an energy to the Daily Show that’s unmatched.
It’s not slander at all if it’s true, just saying.
i liked him a lot more on the apple tv show than the daily show (though i still do love him on the daily show) but i also think that by in large he’s only as good as his writers and i thought the writing staff was FAR more intersectional and diverse on the problem.
i never watched his show before he left, seen clips of youtube. i only ever knew his association with colbert the most.
