Jon Stewart and his writers are one of the most creative and informative shows on T.V.
Stewart is for the instant communication and global network world what Mark Twain and Will Rogers were to their generations. They all realized that truth can be more easily digested if covered with sugar .
If you find Oliver irritating, do not worry, he will not be there long.
The show is launching pad for talent.... Like Steven Courbet and Steve Carell.
Stewart is for today's aspiring humorists what SNL and Johnny Carson were in the eighty's and ninety's.
The Daily Show's target is the system. He takes on conservative and liberal instances of corruption and incompetence. The Bush/Cheney regime was such rich fodder for that kind of stuff, but as Rod Blagojevich is already demonstrating there will never be an end to that kind of stuff as long as there are egotistical and greedy politicians.
The other networks should take notes on Jon Stewart.
