• John Stewart is jus' zis guy, you know?
• The man who rings my bell. *sigh*
• Try the space mushrooms before you start asking questions. It will make everything more explanatory.
• A wise comedian. A bow-tied dick. A great idea. A waste of time.
• Tucker Carlson is the guitarist and lead singer for anarcho-punk outfit The Cross Fires. Jon Stewart is a bit-part actor, best known for his role as Prof. Edward Furlong in The Faculty. Together, they are a burlesque cabaret act by night, elite crime-fighting duo by slightly later at night.
• Actually, I think you have Carlson and Stewart mixed up, flashboy. John Stewart is a distinguished singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
• Yeah, but you're not here, right?
• Hey, quitting cold turkey is Hard Work. But it's necessary work, and with a steady, unfaltering resolve I am sure we can win. Now, anybody need some wood?
• I just happened to find this in my travels today. Maybe it'll help.
• John Stewart is a Muesli-Eating Super Monkey with a battle rating of 6.3. Tucker Carlson is a Custard-Eating War Monkey with a battle rating of 5.4.
• Jon Stewart? He can shoot six holes in an ace of spades a'fore it hits the ground, 'e can! He is Tucker Carlson's kryptonite and God! He's the only intelligent person in the reportasphere of television who is also honest...ON CAMERA! Tucker Carlson is kind of like the Doogie (Dugie? Duoggie?) Howser (Hauser?) of Republican television punditry: a clean-shaven, presumably virginal man-child whose credibility is limited to his bow-tie and irrepressible penchant for behaving as though it were possible to take him seriously. Jon called him a dick on teevee because Tucker insinuated that telling the truth isn't funny.

• Tucker Carlson is a wanker who looks like a Kennedy.
• Hi, this has nothing to do with this thread, but I just have to get this off my chest and I can't find a good place to put it. I've been off the blogs for four fucking days and it appears that everything's changed. Dave Adesnik and Josh Chafetz of OxBlog have decided to endorse KERRY. This is BIG. This is, like, the Cosmological Constant changing its value in the seventh decimal place. What's next, fucking InstaPundit endorsing Kerry? By the way, where is Sullivan? Did he pack his bags too, now that all the cool kids are deciding to leave MoFi?
• To actually answer orococo's question, the short version: The Daily Show is a comedy news show where the host (Jon Stewart) and several "reporters" take a satirical and humorous angle on news stories. The stories are actual news stories and not made up like a SNL Weekend Update bit. Jon Stewart is a stand-up comedian, MTV personality for a bit and has had a couple talk-shows. He recently published a book "America (The Book) Crossfire is a political debate show on CNN. The two hosts represent extreme left and right views and "debate" topics, often with guests. In this case the "left" host was Paul Begala and the "right" was Tucker Carlson. There is very little actual debate on the show and it degrades to bickering over RNC talking points pretty regulary (the crux of Stewart's problem with the show). Tucker Carlson is a political reporter/analyst for CNN. He is a very right-wing politico. His main gig at CNN is on Crossfire. He also has a weekly show on PBS called Unfiltered. Or the really short version: The Daily Show - Jon Stewart Crossfire - Tucker Carlson
• pivo, you suck. You too, Knickerbocker.
• fuyugare: I thought over-politicization was the reason you took a break in the first place... ? Sullivan's last known whereabouts.
• Facts: 1) Jon Stewart is a mammal. 2) Jon Stewart fights ALL THE TIME. 3) The purpose of Jon Stewart is to flip out and kill Tucker Carlson.
• Jon Stewart is cool, and by cool I mean totally sweet. I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart.
• If only there were a way that one could search the internet to find things out. A sort of engine for searching where one could put in a name and hit return and find all sorts of links that pertained to that topic... ;)
• I heard he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die....oh, wait that was Johnny Cash. But he was really great as Professor Xavier in "X-Men"......oops, *Patrick* Stewart...heh... Never mind.
• I've never seen Crossfire, yet I know what it is. Consider the internet. You may consider yourself too good for TV, but it's a bit much when you pretend not to understand what you're reading online.
• Jon Stewart is friend to children. He his opposed to the letter "h". Tucker Carlson is made of turtle meat. His bow tie spins when he scores a debate point. This is Crossfire. I don't know if it's any good.
• Oh, and "The Daily Show" is totally false advertising, as it's only on Monday through Thursday, and sometimes Friday.
• Jon Stewart had a very funny late-night show on ABC circa 1993. Now he is on the Daily Show and I try and try and I know I am supposed to love it but honestly, it's kind slow-paced, not sure if it's news or comedy, and just not that funny. I'm sorry- I've tried repeatedly to give it a chance.
• All I can add is that it's Jon Stewart, no "h". J-o-n. (I have no idea if this bugs him, but it bugs me, coming as someone who has her first and last name incorrectly spelled constantly). Oh, and he's a bit of a sexy mofo, if you know what I mean.
• Jon Stewart wears regular-guy clothes. Tucker Carlson wears . . . weenie ties.
• Jon Stewart is the Jack of Hearts. Tucker Carlson is the Master of War.

• jon stewart is from new jersey WOOOOOOO!! and he's damn cute!
• Tucker Carlson wears bowties specifically to discredit Charles Osgood. And Jon Stewart is the illegitimate child of Martha and Jimmy Stewart...
• Jon Stewart once showed me a video of him making love to my wife, and it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw!
• If I'm not totally incorrect, Jon Stewart's talk show wasn't on ABC but was originally on MTV and then in syndicated. It may have been on your local ABC affiliate, but I used to watch it on the Fox affiliate.
• mexican - do not taunt Mr. Knickerbocker. He's got endtables the size of Texas.
