So apparently nobody here knows the story behind it, so I'm just gonna put it out there: The thing with the writer's strike was that, unlike other shows Jon was technically in charge of the show, but when it came to the payment they had to work something out with Comedy Central. So he had no Influence on whatsoever; he did run the show after all because of the other employees (camera-men, production assistants and so on). It was a writer's strike, not an everyone-who's-on-the-show strike, but without a show no payment for the other employees. I think Seth's heart was with all the writers over the country, while Jon thought of all the employees on the show. So technically, I think they both have a reasonable point and there is no simple way to solve such a problem. So what happened was, Jon called Seth, explained his point to him, they had a debate, they came to a conclusion, all fine. And then comes Piers and makes a problem out of it... like, seriously dude. They are smart, grown-up men, they can handle it. Btw, Seth's teeth are so white they are blinding me XD

Respect to Seth MacFarlane for maintaining his composure and dignity. It's clear that he really respects Jon Stewart and that, despite disagreeing with Jon, he acknowledges how what he did could be seen as being in the wrong. Great respect for both him and Stewart. Piers Morgan on the other hand, fuck him. He was so horrible at his job. Even in this interview, he's just trying to rile Seth up unnecessarily, and create a feud where there doesn't need to be one.
@Martial-Mat9 жыл бұрын
Personally, I think Stewart is a total hypocrite if his argument was "Who are you to be the moral arbiter" when that's his whole career. Looks to me like Seth was just afraid that Stewart had a better forum for ridiculing him. that makes Stewart a hypocrite AND a bully.
@muggedbyapriest9 жыл бұрын
Stewart didn't really make this public though, it was a private conversation between the two of them where Stewart made his opinions known. It would be bullying if he did this publicly on his show and used his fanbase to harass Seth, but that's not what happened. His career IMO isn't to be moral arbiter, but to point out the hypocrisies of those with a voice and influence (the media, the government). He's a satirist, he ridicules. I get where you're coming from, but again IMO, he does a good job, better than most, at managing to be a critic while not having an agenda. That's why he refuses to ever go into politics, because he likes that outsider role.

On gun control, he was more or less *in the right*, yet he got a hail-storm of abuse and threats of deportation. Here we see him trying to dig dirt out of a polite and mature McFarlane like the lowest form of pond scum, and in other cases we see Morgan soft-balling puff piece interviews with war criminals and traitors to democracy instead of doing his fucking job and demanding real answers. None of *that* drew flak! Morgan is and always has been a corporate shill, a joke, a Christian when it suits him to be, a smarmy holier than thou walking insult to true journalism.

It both surprises and disturbs me that Americans(seemingly) don't know this - Piers Morgan has been possibly the most reviled person in Britain for the last 15-20 years. He is loathed by both the right AND the left(which is quite a feat considering), he is regularly used in jokes that require a particularly oily, treacherous character for the punchline and Britain's most august satirical magazine, Private Eye, prints his name as Piers Moron so consistently that earlier in this post I almost typed it myself by mistake. To the vast majority of Britons it is both baffling and dismaying that the man has made such a success of himself Stateside in spite of his crimes against good journalism, human decency and general not-being-a-cuntness.

For 24 goddamn hours I was suspended for saying that, meanwhile you see Trump every fucking day saying worse shit than that about his enemies *and they let him get away with it!* Twitter needs to be confronted with this.

He was so desperate to get his revenge through Seth, but Seth's clearly got a lot of respect for Jon and focused more on why the phone call happened as opposed to just the phone call itself. He probably even agrees w/ Jon about these guys. Good on you Seth.

Seth handled this interview like such a professional and seems (even more) like a gentleman. But I totally agree with Jeremy Clarkson's negative comments of Piers (eg in Top Gear), because Piers is terrible at interviews. He interrupts Seth all the time, just starts talking about something else completely. In the meantime, he cuts Seth off in the middle of sentences. As well as taking too much focus from his guest. The guest should always be the main subject. Not the host, who should be a good listener, ask well formulated questions (probably follows a script), and a host must come up with good follow up questions. Piers does none of that, just an exceptionally bad host. Piers is awful and I am so bloody happy to see that his show got cancelled! Win!

LawfullGAMER Americans are lazy, not stupid. Only a select few are as stupid as you think we are. We certainly have our share of ignorant, idiotic, small-minded people who don't know anything, except things concerning Nascar, hunting, etc. However, the vast majority of Americans are pretty smart folks, we're just terribly lazy. Not to mention, being the most prosperous nation on Earth has naturally made us this way; we're perfectly comfortable in our coddled mediocrity. Many of us have the knowledge AND the power to make the world a better place for ourselves & others; but we don't because it's too easy to keep-up the same charade we've been playing since the 1950s, which is a constant repetition of; wake up, watch or listen to mainstream news, work hard, come home to relax--probably with network TV or waste-of-time activities like Facebook or Twitter--then sleep and do it all over again. It's this hamster wheel effect going on that's keeping us "dumb," and I believe America could enjoy real change if we could break-away from the mind-numbing monotony that is the typical American life. The simple fact that there is no motivation to break-away from this lifestyle is why you don't see us Americans having our own Arab Spring or revolution of any type. We're not used to fighting the government generation after generation, like in many small nations all over the globe are accustomed to. We are brought-up thinking our country and its leaders are here to protect us and our interests, and for the most part that has been true for many decades; only since 9/11/2001 did Americans start [seriously] talking about revolution and protesting the government. Even now after we've been attacked, gone to war for all the wrong reasons, been embarrassed in front of the entire world for several reasons, and essentially destroyed ourselves from the inside-out, --even after that--many of us are still leading perfectly normal lives which we would never give-up for fighting and political unrest. Sure, America is one very messed-up country as it stands right now. However, aside from a few small European nations (which I believe are better; like Denmark), America is a great place to live. Compare what any average working-class man has in America compared to ANY other country and you clearly see that Americans live either better than or equal to their international counterparts. If you're American and you want a better country, then get-up off your couch, put down the remote and the Doritos and go out and make a difference in your community; in this country, it IS possible, and without being shot too! Americans might not have everything figured out, but we do have everything we need to do it, and we will or we'll die trying! Enough said.

NB Being able to hunt is one of humanities greatest achievements and the physics and engineering involved in Nascar take more intelligence to observe and analyse than most undergrads would understand.

@jamisonw.32710 жыл бұрын
If you had actually seen the skit, it was basically Seth calling the writers assholes and Jon who was a big time supporter of the writer strike. Seth's argument: Writers earn 100-200k a year and should be happy with that since that's much higher than the average person, they can still afford pricey cars and other junk, and everyone earns less than their boss. Jon's argument: They're part of multimillion dollar projects and their bosses earn tens of millions of dollars a year, and have the right to request more money since the projects couldn't exist without them. You can think what you want and I've tried to leave my views out of my description of it. That being said, Seth is jokingly pompous, and less genuine than Jon in my opinion. In the same way Colbert can't let the satire routine shut down, Seth can't let his hiding behind one-sided hyperbole routine shut down. So, I find them both annoying outside of their shows, but brilliant in them. Jon I just find brilliant virtually every time I see him. On a separate note though, I can't blame Seth on this show since it was forced out of him - Everyone has differing views, so why make a big deal out of it Piers? Oh right, because his program is like 80% of other programs like it, a drama whore.
