Amazing to see Jon back. I watched The Daily Show with Jon Stewart obsessively for years, and never thought to see this again. He’s still got it. Just a few more white hairs.
Given that I also aged in the interim, I prefer his current look. He’s a silver fox.
I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. I’m grateful that he’s back to give us a way to laugh through the bullshit and motivate us to keep fighting.
Literally almost spit out my iced latte this am watching. Glad to see him back. Great show.

Somehow, irrespective of indicating any kind of actual political ideology, this is the most liberal comment I have ever read on the internet.
Lmao
His Apple TV show was great too, except for Apple being scared to let anybody criticize China.

It’s brittle and pearlescent! I can’t stand it!
Yeah, its weird tos ee how young he looked back then. I never put much thought into that. It didnt feel like it was that long ago.
It would be great if he could get Steven Colbert and John Oliver to take up their roles as again, too.
Don’t forget that lunar surface.
Jon Stewart is such a pro. He’s at the top of his game, even still. He’s just so far above other political commentators it’s beautiful to watch.
And if Colbert makes an appearance this season I will scream like Flanders at those purple drapes.
I think Colbert is happy to be done with that character. Besides, it’s been proven that no matter how ridiculous the character gets, people will still vote for it
It doesn’t need to be permanent.
I’d almost argue that the Colbert Report is more relevant now because it was a satire of Fox News and right wing news has gotten even more crazy than it was 10+ years ago.
I’d like to see him come back for an episode and try to play the right-wing pundit satirization, only to keep getting out-crazied by the actual right-wing pundits.
The most trusted name in news for basically the entirety of my adult life. He’s absolutely amazing. Shame he’ll never run for office.
Just watching the beginning and seeing him scribble on a piece of paper gave me chills. Such a little thing but I’ve never seen anyone else do that, and I guess it just means the Daily Show is about to start!
Some More News sort of does this. There’s a bunch of blank papers in front of Cody that’s basically a prop to shuffle around. I bet it was inspired by Jon.

That was amazing. I’m so glad he’s back, even in a limited capacity.
Heh…
That was fucking great.
Welcome back Jon. You haven’t lost an inch and I’m happy to get some sanity back in my life.
A great watch!

It’s great to see him back in the chair. Something about his speech is odd, though. The S’s especially.
1:38 “Schuperbowl” 2:09 “…Chiefs rost”
I found this concerning too, until I watched the beginning again. He was chewing on his lip during the intro, and they might have done a few takes of that shot. He says superbowl perfectly fine at 8:11
I think he’s getting used to dentures or something like that
That makes sense. His teeth look a lot better than they did back in the day, I was wondering why. I mean, does a 50yo man get braces done no matter how much money he has? Would it even work? Probably not.
Nah personally I always figured I would get some Terminator teeth installed once I got on up there in the age category
I immediately recognized it as the same thing my dad did for awhile after he got his. Dentures lower the roof of your mouth a bit, so you have to get used to it and your mouth still tries to fall back on muscle memory for awhile, so you get weird sounding S’s.
I think it’s this.
Seems highly unlikely he’d get dentures when implants are a thing now. He’s not so poor that he can’t spend $50k on implants.

The dude’s in his 60s now. Give him a break.
Where’s a piped bot when you need one?
I don’t think they work on posts, just on comments. Let’s see if they’ll respond to my link
Thanks for your effort
I’ve seen some complaints about him not going hard enough on Trump and trying to do a false equivalency with Biden being old. I don’t see that. My impression was he was trying to appear impartial at first so when he does go hard on Trump later people won’t question his motives. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
Also by him saying they are both old he takes that issue off the table when comparing the two. So now it’s not “one has dementia, the other is a fascist”. It becomes “one is not a fascist, and the other is a fascist”.

Yeah Jon Stewart, the guy who is famously all about the money lol. Also everyone knows it’s not going to last because all the marketing says he’s a temporary host only on Mondays… What exactly is the point of your post here? You’ve provided no new or interesting information but seem desperate to neg TDS and are failing to do so miserably. This is one of the dumbest takes I’ve seen in a while.
A few things probably, because CC surely isn’t throwing money around.

He needed a break

Apple cancelled his other show because he talked shit about some things they didn’t like, effectively censoring him.
That’s what the opening here was about with the topics he feels free to discuss on TDS. He doesn’t want to be boxed in, and TDS gives him the platform to say what he wants to say, and just doing Mondays is a fair way to get involved again as a creative voice on the show, and let everyone else associated with it get reinvigorated about it as well after months of it being in limbo. I expect the ratings to climb again now that he’s back. The content of this one show speaks for itself. He’s great here.

No Apple cancelled his show after he wouldn’t back down about an episode he had planned about China, Apple backed down because they are China’s bitch.

You’re talking about now, but your original question was asking why he left in the first place, which I answered for. He took a break, the Apple situation sucked, so now he wants to be involved in the space and this is how. Nothing wrong with that. Listen to his closing, and it seems he’s even addressing that fact.
deleted by creator
Yeah he doesn’t need a break now or perhaps one day per week is enough … he literally said that he was looking for an outlet for his opinions or whatever on the upcoming election.
What’s funny or sad is that I saw an interview where they were talking about his influence and Jon was saying that he had little influence because most of the things he didn’t want to happen have happened over his career.
