Jon's segment on Jindal and Baconnaise has me straight dying!

i was laughing my ass off

please do not send us any more of your product! lol, that whole segment was hilarious.

It was probably some guy who came up with this idea in his kitchen one night and was trying for 15 years to find a company to take it to market. It finally gets produced ends up on store shelves and Jon Stewart freakin' ethers it on national television!

When he said he felt like his tongue just took a sh!t, I lost it!

I would look at them like they were retarded - mostly because they were.
I'm glad the show's still funny post-Bush.
Did you see it last week with the dude from Amazon.com? Stewart kept accidentally clowning that guy.

That baconaise crap is huge in Ohio.

and the worst part is the CEO of Amazon didn't even do a good job of defending it!

Why wouldn't he mention the cellular internet connectivity, which is really like the only reason for paying that much for the damn thing?

and come unprepared? AND you're the CEO? Glad I didn't buy any stock.

Texas has CHICKEN. FRIED. BACON.

Chicken Fried Bacon is the same principle as chicken fried steak. Cook bacon, then deep fry it.

Bacon flavored mayo? That's some unnatural shit.

Who really needs that much pig?

How hard is it to fry up some bacon and spread some plain mayo on some toast? Does one really need the extra chemical preservatives in baconnaise?

If you're that lazy, you probably shouldn't be eating as much anyway.

that reminds me of his interview w/ kelly clarkson after "from justin to kelly" came out, he just couldn't give a serious interview about this movie.

Brilliant. Man don't ever cancel going on the Daily Show or Stewart will have your ass.

Though Colbert might have just destroyed Glenn Beck's soul with the whole Doom Bunker thing afterwards.

People were concerned if daily show and colbert would still be good with Obama in power, but they have put that doubt to rest and are on f-ing fire right now.

Stewart had the line of the night though when he said something along the lines of "Fuck you. I'm not sure which one of you I rather see rot in jail"

>People were concerned if daily show and colbert would still

>rest and are on f-ing fire right now.


To be fair, I think Colbert is going to have it easy because he can fake attack Obama with the whole pseudo-conservative angle his show has. If and when Obama screws up majorly, I think it might be a test to see how The Daily Show, Stewart and the others on the show will handle it.

i love his truthiness.

V.

no one mentioned the sketch that had Pastor Manning in it. I believe it aired the week ending 2/27/09. The Usual Suspects tie in at the end of the sketch was golden.


And I know this isn't a Colbert post, but the Doom Bunker sketch he did yesterday had me in high pitched howls. Even better was that he had an ex-military dude he actually thought Colbert was a real news guy and wouldn't go along with the premise of the sketch.

That was definitely funny, but the Baconnaise thing had me straight doubled over. Seriously though, Hitler? What's he smokin?

I probably hold that sketch in high regard because I've heard about Pastor Manning a while ago.

Cuz they led in with the other dude that said that Obama was the anti-Christ. Then they go to Manning who starts off with "No.. no... he's not the anti-Christ." So I'm thinking that it's just going to be some generic angry banter. When he said Obama was Hitler? Done.

are both on heightened alert status due to the vigilance of the Colbert Doom Bunker.

As soon as Colbert put up video of puppies and kitties in the background it was over for dude. He must really be hating life after this and Stewart calling him out earlier.

"Stop hurting America."

"The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls."

Begala wanted to get laugh but then he realized Jon was talking about him too.

lol that whole segment was great, Tucker Carlson never recovered from that.

Tucker: "36"

Jon: "And you're wearing a bow tie"

>lol that whole segment was great, Tucker Carlson never
>recovered from that.

even funnier since it's the only noteworthy moment in carlson's career.

He's taking himself too seriously with this mess. Then again, I am not the biggest Stewart fan.

I wonder if Jon will ease up on him a little bit or continue the ether he has been dropping the past week.

Kinda like whenever he has Bill O'Reilly on. He doesn't let him slide ever, but he backs off at appropriate times.

...maybe he could go back in time and avoid this situation altogether. Jon is spoon-feeding him ether.

Seriously, Stewart just KO'd him.

WOW

He's done.

jon killed it

he didn't have a f-ing chance.

to protect me from the Jim Cramer in that video.

And the whole time, Stewart didn't yell, didn't bluster, didn't get in Cramer's face. The tone of the interview was civil from the jump, but he packed more napalm than every shouting interview Bill O'Reilly has ever done.

Just masterful work by Stewart. When will people learn not to take on a motivated Jon Stewart? THEY CAN'T WIN!

at 11:27 EST on Thursday March 12, 2009, Jim Cramer's career died.

If that fool never would have gone on the Today show and all those other talk shows taking shots at Stewart he could have avoided all of this. And then actually agreeing to go on Daily Show was the final nail in the coffin, did he really think he had a chance vs. Jon?

...damn if it wasn't satisfying (if not incredibly awkward) to watch.

I had no idea that Stewart was gonna go in like that. And apparently, neither did Cramer.

He laid it on a little thick considering this guy is such a minimal part of the problem. The list of guys who deserve a lashing like that before Cramar is thousands deep.

At the end he even said "You've unfortunately become the face of all this" or something to that effect, kinda trying to make it look like Cramer isn't the root of the problem.

Can you imagine if Santelli wouldn't have canceled though? It would have been bloody.

cause what we saw tonight would have been tame compared to what Stewart would have done to that asshole.

He clowned CNBC as a whole and Jim Cramer decided to put his face on the situation by going on different shows and trying to retaliate. Wasn't like he got singled out for no reason.

and he probably figured since finance is his area of expertise that stewart would be in over his head if he had to do a serious interview.

I'm guessing they will play the Jon didn't let him talk card or that its not fair it was on Jon's show. And then like a week later Cramer will be fired.

> And then like a week later Cramer will be fired.

This aint Tucker Carlson. Cramer's the biggest thing at CNBC and has a huge following. He'll take a small hit but he;s not going nowhere. Bill O'Reilly's career didn't take a hit after Stewart went in on him

CNBC has just taken a huge credibility hit and they know they have to do something to gain the public's trust again. Cramer is a dead man walking now.

their interviews are mainly respectful disagreements and jokes

UPDATE: TVNewser reports, via an anonymous tipster, what Gibb's alluded to: "MSNBC producers were asked not to incorporate the Jim Cramer/Jon Stewart interview into their shows today."

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/nbc/msnbc_producers_asked_not_to_highlight_cramerstewart_111307.asp

A TVNewser tipster tells us MSNBC producers were asked not to incorporate the Jim Cramer/Jon Stewart interview into their shows today. In fact, the only time it came up on MSNBC was during the White House briefing, when a member of the press corps asked Press Secretary Robert Gibbs if Pres. Obama watched. Gibbs wasn't sure if the president had, but Gibbs did. "I enjoyed it thoroughly," the Press Secretary said.

On Cramer's network, CNBC, the subject has only come up twice today, including when master marketer/CNBC personality Donny Deutsch brought it up briefly around 1pm on "Power Lunch." "I'm a huge Jon Stewart fan," said Deutsch, "He does what he does he does his job. But I'm also a huge Jim Cramer fan. He sticks up for the little guy, he cares, he puts his neck out, and I respect that. I respect both those guys."

Cramer appeared on his regular "Stop Trading" segment during "Street Signs." But the Daily Show did not come up. With anchor Erin Burnett in Washington, the discussion was about banking policy and the Federal Reserve, ending with Cramer saying, "Ben Bernanke's got the magic." (A far cry from Cramer's "Wake-Up" call to Bernanke in August '07.)

Insiders tell TVNewser Cramer will talk about Stewart tonight on "Mad Money" (6pmET & 11pmET).

I still think Kramer wont be gone, but hes definitely going to take a hit. also, really don't think there's a ton of overlap between people that watch Stewart and Kramer so not too many devoted Kramer watchers are going to just stop tuning in.

I read somewhere that Mad Money's Nielsen ratings are actually DOWN since this whole exchange started. Meanwhile Daily Show's ratings, along with activity on Comedy Central's website, have skyrocketed.

Stewart's singlehandedly ending careers, shun! He's like the 50 Cent of fake news hosts. LOL

The sad thing is, I think Cramer is really just the patsy in this that got caught in the line of fire. However satisfying it may have been to watch, I can't help but think that all that ether that Stewart was spittin' at Cramer was really just pent up frustration and bitterness that was intended for that Santelli dude and the CNBC establishment in general.

Cramer just happened to be the one CNBC rep that was ballsy (STUPID) enough to actually go on the Daily Show and take his beating like a man.

In the aftermath, whether Mad Money gets canceled or not, at the very least Jon Stewart has successfully called into question CNBC's entire credibility as a network. It'll be interesting to see how or if they change their format in any way as a result of this smackdown.

and if you're going to sell yourself as a trustworthy commentator then you have to remove the entertainment part of it at some point.

and i love when he gets serious with people like that, cause with his sarcasm alone he destroys people, but when he sits down and has an honest discussion, even when saying he doesn't know much about the subject, he still destroys these people. you almost wish he'd become a real journalist just so someone who holds that title would be doing their job.

I forgot he was on so I missed the first 1/2 hour, and he's not talking about it right now

I don't think he mentioned it at all on Monday's show... Referenced it once last night, but it was more a joke about himself. I don't think he's going to touch it again unless absolutely necessary, which is the sorta classy thing to do but also he kinda killed it so there's nothing left to talk about really.

the crossfire thing was nothing compared to this. i've never seen stewart murder someone face to face like that.

for all the pompous, dismissive "he's just a comedian" / "out of context!" shit he popped all week, cramer was practically bent over that whole interview.

I actually think you could make a good argument for CNBC/business and news networks not being responsible for anything, they're just not making it because they're too defensive. It's pretty clear that he didn't really LISTEN to what Jon Stewart had to say because anyone that did would know he only suggested they played a ROLE in what happened. They also wouldn't defend themselves by simply attacking Jon Stewart. I don't think Stewart is necessarily free from criticism, but he DID essentially give them a platform to defend themselves and Cramer failed to do so.

sidenote: who saw Tucker this past weekend on CNN? lol.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker fired back at comedian Jon Stewart on Wednesday, saying it was "unfair" and "absurd" for the funnyman to criticize CNBC and question its coverage of financial news.

* (03/13/09) Stewart, Cramer square off over market meltdown

"Everybody wants to find a scapegoat. That's human nature," Zucker said during a keynote address at a media industry conference. "But to suggest that the business media or CNBC was responsible for what is going on now is absurd."

"Just because someone who mocks authority says something doesn't make it so," Zucker said, describing the comedian's comments as "completely out of line."

Zucker's comments are the latest salvo in a war of words with Stewart, who hosts the mock news program "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" on the Comedy Central cable television network owned by Viacom Inc.

Stewart has blasted CNBC's reporting of the financial market meltdown, saying the channel was too cozy with corporate chiefs and key government officials.

The comedian has lobbed particularly harsh criticism at CNBC commentator Jim Cramer, and last week invited him for an appearance on the comedy show, where he hammered the guest for his coverage of Wall Street.

"Listen, you knew what the banks were doing, yet were touting it for months and months," Stewart said during his March 12 show. "The entire network was. Now to pretend that this was some sort of crazy, once-in-a-lifetime tsunami that nobody could have seen coming is disingenuous at best and criminal at worst."

"TERRIFIC" JOB

Zucker, speaking at the McGraw-Hill Media Summit in New York on Wednesday, said that CNBC's reporters and commentators had done a "terrific" job and the network remained a "go-to" place for financial news.

"It's unfair to CNBC and to the business media in general," Zucker said. "I don't think you can blame what happened here on the business media."

The CEO of NBC Universal, which also owns the NBC broadcast network, cable channels like Bravo and USA, theme parks and a film studio, among other businesses, said the public was tired of hearing the media blamed for its coverage of financial news.

"Frankly, I already think you're seeing a backlash," he said.

Zucker also noted that the financial crisis has bolstered CNBC's audience ratings, and said he expected viewers to stick with the cable network even if the economy remains mired in recession.

"When there is a lot of red on the screen, historically people don't want to watch that," he said. "That is absolutely not the case this time. I don't think this is like those other times."

General Electric Co holds an 80 percent stake in NBC Universal, while France's Vivendi owns the other 20 percent.

What these people fail to understand is nobody is saying CNBC killed all the munnies. Just that their coverage of the people who did is awful.

this is especially dumb cause most of the time cramer was AGREEING with stewart and you could tell by his embarrassment he wanted to agree with him even more.

and once again, people want to apply the same standards to comedians as they do legitimate news media. a comedian like that IS usually trying to make a point but they're still a comedian, their number one priority is to make people laugh.

i think it makes them angry too that the viewers of the daily show and other political humor are more well-informed than those of the 24-hour news networks. whether that's BECAUSE of those shows doesn't even matter, it still makes them angry.
