Part 2 - Jon Stewart Takes The Colbert Questionert

[@rossbooth4635]

"It's not that there's more people, it's all that excess air." Good god he's so quick on his feet with humor, and makes it look effortless. So glad to learn he's coming back to TV.

[@WillBravoNotEvil]

That's virtuosity. We see the culmination. He's been at this for (approaching) 50 years. We (not saying you; the collective we) sometimes forget "prep" time. That said, I couldn't dunk a bball w/o a trampoline with 200 yrs of practice. 😁

[@travisledbetter2506]

Agreed. Dude is sharp as a tac.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

He said "It's not that 'it's' more people ..." - Otherwise JS would know that it's "... there are* more people".

[@deecohen1383]

Never have you ever had to have a two-parter for a Colbert questionnaire but I wish this could’ve been a mini series because I can listen to John Stewart drag any answer out all day every day

[@avedic]

The fact there aren't 5 parts to look forward to watching is honestly a bit disappointing. I love the comedic banter between these two. Jon is just as funny when the comedy isn't at all political. Also....is it just me, or has Jon _really_ come into his element at _this_ point in his life? It's interesting...he's almost more confident, funny, at ease, and honestly attractive as a human being now than ever before. Gives me a wee bit of hope tbh. I'm 38 and would be lying if I said I wasn't kinda sorta dreading getting older. People like Jon make it look good though....on all levels. So glad he's got a show again. I've missed that side of him. Definitely going to tune in asap.

[@AdelaideBen1]

@@avedic ok - it's ok to be a fan, and to love his work. However, this is cringe to the +++. I am guessing (just me) that Jon's on a retainer to fill gaps, and they pull him in at the last minute when someone can't make it. There's NOTHING in this that is funny... smart... or even insightful. TBH I think the whole questionnaire is filler... but having someone on that just feels like a Friday afternoon coffee-date doesn't make for the best tv. If you love him, that's fine... BUT THIS IS NOT COMEDY. Edit - and I intentionally meant Friday, as this feels like a pre-recorded piece that could have been made 2 years ago.

"What do you think happens when we die?" When Keanu Reeves answered this with "Those who love us will miss us" I never thought I'd hear another non-ego based answer to this question again ... but good old Jon did it with his "Very little."

[@AdelaideBen1]

No - that's a "I don't give a shit" answer.... fine, he may well believe that. In which case, I agree... when he dies, very little will change. Does that feel right? I am fully on board people who believe there is nothing after (I really am not religious) - however this is the sort of teenage answer that is actually painfully ignorant. So what happens to his family? That was such an immaturely glib response to paint him as non-conservative... yet (as a non-conservative) I think that just paints him as emotional vacuous.

What is not almost certainly true but is certain are the words of God and His Son Jesus Christ.

Call to Him in prayer, and He will forgive you and give you of His eternal Spirit so that you may never see death. Read your Bible and obey it and you will grow in the wisdom and life of the Lord. God bless you all in Jesus name.
