Magnificent- and Jon Stewart has his own schtick down, but really isn’t an actor. Put he absolutely nailed Glenn Beck. And a lot of credit to the writing staff. _TDS_ has had some great shows since that weeks vacation in mid-October. I only wish they would have answered whether or not Glenn Beck raped and killed that teenaged girl back in the 1990s. I don’t beleive Beck did rape and kill that teenaged girl in the 1990s, but I would like to see Beck put the rumors to rest by denying them. ---

Shit he’s a funny guy. Half the time I don’t know what he’s talking about, most of the time I don’t care about what he’s talking about but nearly every time I see him he is laugh out loud funny. ---

Sometimes he seems to; “give up” or “trail off”. Obviously it was rehearsed but it was actually not a bad impression of that “Banana-Nut Bread News Personality”. I hate when Stewart injects unfunny comments, (often breaking character from a guy sarcastically and satirically reporting on news – often to tell the audience WHY they’re making fun of it as if we can’t figure that out), and then trails off, and starting fresh with his next bullet point. He didn’t stop to start giggling at the sketch after hearing the audience found it funny. I know Stewart doesn’t always play the “fake and naive pundit”; He leaves that for Colbert… and often out-right mocks new coverage without a facade. **Very funny** , I’m glad to see he took it all the way. Wonder what people in \*\*Cafe Society \*\*will think. Maybe I’m wrong and this does belong here… I just just speak from all the other threads I see moved there from other places. Good topic none-the-less **redtail**! ---

Wow - that really showcases his underused acting skills. He didn’t crack up once (although it looked like maybe he was on the verge of it more than a few times, maybe that was just part of the act.) It was jaw-dropping how spot-on that was. Of course, as often as he has to watch that tool, it’s probably second nature by now. ---
