JON STEWART HAS LEFT THE BUILDING (Documentary)

[@SpectraStarShooter]

I love Trevor Noah, but watching this, I remember how significant and influential Jon Stewart was and I really feel the void he left behind.

[@sigsin1]

Trevor made it a different show. It is not the Daily Show.

[@mountcomfort740]

[@jasonbrownjourno]

@@sigsin1it was how Noah pronounced "years" that ruined it for you, right? 😄

[@ASM881]

The highlight of my college years. He was my political science teacher. We love you Jon.

[@TheMsLourdes]

The 17 years of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart is just absolute gold, and easily on the level of Carson.

It's unfair that Jon goes and CNN / FOX stays

[@morpheusmatrix9207]

Right

[@vote4aref]

thank you, Jon Stewart, for always depicting the truth about the suffering of the Palestinian people... you have a huge following in the Arab World

[@Research0digo]

+Aref M.Y. Awesome!! The ignorant US populace knows nothing outside their borders - state borders I should say, almost 100% due to the "news". Yet OReilly hated the French so much for not joing the US military into turning ancient Assyria into a wasteland, that he and his cronies decided Frenchfries should be called 'freedom fries. He chided Colbert thinking he was French. American citizans have no clue there are millions of Arab Christians, Persian Christians, most of bombed Lebanon is Christian, etc. - Thanks to the 'news'. My neighbor thought Cambodia was in Africa... I miss George Carlin also. His last monolog was so on point. God bless the Palestinians, all of them.

[@thetomster7625]

I gotta say: watching this, I kinda get emotional about what this man has accomplished

[@PoojaGupta-mc9ny]

This documentary was great, but I thought Jon's legacy outside of the United States deserved a mention. I am, of course, talking about Bassem Youssef's Al-Bernameg, which had around 5 million people from all over the Arab world tuning in for each episode. Youssef's story is incredible. He was, in fact, called 'The Jon Stewart of Egypt'!

[@shmihank]

I agree so much. The documentary was great and here in the Middle East we really appreciate everything John Stewart has done for Bassem Youssef. I am an American born Israeli and as for John Stewart and his leaving public life, I feel the same emotional vacuum that I feel from the assassination of Yitzak Rabin.

[@solgato5186]

Thank you! Never heard of it but wow am I curious and looking for it as soon as this is done.

[@chrisboddie2782]

doesn't it kind of feel a little darker without jon constantly calling bull shit on the media and politics, I am sure there will be others but; jon stewart was genuinely caring about what he did, and he did it with passion. It is just kind of difficult to picture the daily show without stewart.

[@KDeusgeetar]

+Chris Boddie we still have John Oliver.

[@chrisboddie2782]

K Deusgeetar yea, a little light in a dark alley, better than nothing but i'd still prefer a flash light lol

[@anthonystarke893]

Not to mention the longevity of his reign of doing so. I'm 30 years old and I have grown up watching the daily show and he was there through some of the toughest days this nation has seen in a while and he wasn't afraid to hold the people responsible accountable. What he did for first responders on 9/11 was truly amazing. His ability to go after people with his fact filled satire gave my generation a voice to stand up against corrupt politicians or ridiculous news correspondents. Like you said it feels like a dark era

[@chrisboddie2782]

Anthony Starke Yea, well I guess we have the job of calling bullshit but not making us laugh......

[@nateputerbaugh5709]

Every time Donald Trump opens his mouth, I miss Jon just a little more

[@douglasmcintyre3297]

Jon Stewart is the best TV host/commentator I've seen since the great Johnny Carson. (He'd probably cringe after hearing that.) Such was his respect for all the writers and producers and technical staff at Comedy Central, whose combined daily efforts allowed Stewart to shine when the harsh TV lights came on.) Stewart's reign of the 11:00 PM slot shows he's so much more than a comedian: he was the voice that engaged and entertained and educated everybody from baby boomers to Generation-Xers to millennials in a way no other entertainer has been able to achieve. He could deftly perform a consistently entertaining, funny and thought provoking monologue ranging from the absurd to the joyful, from the lightest and silliest of topics to the most serious and relevant. In the second segment he loved playing the straight man to his many correspondents' satirical-but-on-point pieces from the desk, or from a "remote" location. Usually about fifteen feet to Stewart's left. Then do a great job of interviewing actors and comedians to authors, legislators, world leaders and ocasionally truly inspiring people like Malala Yoysefzai. And then close with a moment of zen, a last look at the absurd in our daily lives. All that in only about 21 minutes of air time! As times passes I'll remember his great comedy and timing, his irrepressible wit and his lampooning of politicians--especially those on the right.. But what I'll remember most about Jon Stewart is his humanity; those rare instances where he generously allowed us to peek into his soul as he attempted to make sense out of many tragic times in America: sharing his sadness but also his hopefulness and optimism during the monologue of his first show after 9-11; his scathing, unarguable case for gun reform; and using his celebrity to shine a light on injustice. For example, when 9-11 first responders had their health care coverage taken away from them, it was Jon Stewart's continued support of NYPD cops and firefighters and port authority workers who searched for survivors and helped to clean up ground zero. He was always on the side of oppressed minorities who lacked a a voice, even after he left the Daily Show. That may be his greatest legacy as the seventeen-year host of The Daily Show: helping the sick get the care they deserved. From now on, we'll remember the true greats of television hosting longevity: Regis Philbin, Johnny Carson, David Letterman. And now, yes, Jon Stewart. Happy trails, Jon. Can't wait to see what you comes up with next, the latest installment of your "conversation" with your audience. (Note: This comment was brought to you by Arbys.

[@Jayeeyee]

I have the greatest respect for this man. His intelligence, compassion, and tenacity is to be revered.

[@janedoh2625]

Man, his job must've been so draining. I don't even watch the real news because it's so ridiculous...can't imagine reporting on it every single day. He's earned his retirement.

[@munaqabamuttazawija9384]

We can see how fast his hair went grey... He was a man so passionate like he was genuinely concerned about calling out BS.

[@Gottenhimfella]

+Jane Doh Another thing: Towards the end of his tenure, the political figures and the media (particularly Fox and Trump) had begun trespassing on his patch. They are basically parodies in their own right. There's nothing left to do but gape.

[@hunglikeahamster3248]

Jane Doh I've gotta say, he didn't EARN his retirement. Nor SHOULD he have retired at such a critical moment. Nor was it conscionable. Can you actually imagine Trump getting "elected" if Jon had stuck it out and took that utter moron to task? No offense, Jon, except for my burning resentment at the doom we're internationally and collectively and largely all unwillingly participating in now, of course. STILL love you, guy. And I mean that. True story.

[@undrtakr900]

HungLikeAHamster Stewart has more than EARNED his retirement and then some. Instead of being upset that Stewart wasn't around to "take Trump to task", get mad at all the cable news channels who would broadcast all of his campaign rallies *uninterrupted* giving him more supporters. Or the rest of the media who gave Trump $1 billion dollars of free advertisement by constantly talking about him.

[@hunglikeahamster3248]

undrtakr900 You act like I hold Jon Stewart solely responsible for the whole damned thing, dude. As if he's the ONLY thing I'd have something to say about. Sheesh. Why on Earth would you think I'm OK with the rest of the media not doing THEIR job? Jon's one of the very few that did their jobs FOR them because they wouldn't. Jus' saying he picked a fuck of a time to go off and buy a farm and raise a few critters. Hardly an uncommon thought directed his way. He's spent hours and hours trying to address why he did this in dozens of post Daily Show interviews. I think he really just felt it was as improbable and ridiculous that Trump would actually get elected as that there media you blame did. Buying into this systemically broken mess in the first place guarantees you're gonna get what you deserve. And that's Trump, apparently. *I* don't deserve him. *You* do. Lol I haven't voted since 2000. When SCOTUS appointed the non elected president it was way past time to disabuse myself of the notion that my vote ever mattered or ever could. I've *never* been represented by government in my entire life. I've had government *forced* on me. Watch George Carlin on Why I Don't Vote. It's spot on. He doesn't offer a solution, he just points out the problem. Excuse me. *A* problem, as you seem to need that specified. In other words, George actually had more opinions than one. He was complex like that...

I read that as "painfully pathetic". I like it better that way, especially if it's coming from someone running against Trump. Like, really? You don't think you could have done better?

[@MaxPower-vf8kt]

America picked a crappy democratic candidate. It was like it was "Hillary's Time" and the democratic party was like "fuck anyone else who even tries to challenge her". That was the problem. I'm not American, but if I was, I'd have no idea who to vote for as both candidates were shit in their own way. I think Trump got a lot of votes because he wasn't a politician and people were curious about that.... and Hillary was the exact opposite. She was the polished politician you KNOW wasn't who she acted or pretended to be, she sounded like a shill every time I heard her talk. She sounded like she memorized the sound bites perfectly.... and was a robot. On the other hand.... Trump sounded like a moron and had zero tact, however he was was who he was... and whether he does 'being President' well or not, or whether you like him and his ideas or not, he seems to be trying to get his promises done... even if he's playing a dirty game to do it. The GOP didn't reign him in during the primaries and allow the debates to be actual debates, where other candidates got to talk and counter-point in a professional manner. The GOP debates were a shit-show. The 2016 election was voting for the lesser of two evils. Just my opinion. America's voting system is shit. I don't get why the Electoral College still exists. I do get why it existed at one time, but it no longer serves a purpose. The only purpose it serves is to allow gerrymandering and politicians to strategically setup the electoral college to favour one party over another, in particular the party already in charge. Clearly that's what happened in the 2000 election and the 2016 election.

[@Caperhere]

@@jaydencolour1072 I’m still pissed at Noah for making fun of Bernie, by using half of a clip to joke about him treating children like adults. Whoever wrote that piece had to have watched the whole clip, which told an entirely different story. It was at a crucial time. There was worse than a news ban on Bernie, Biden waltzed into the South and boldly lied to black people, after Bernie had already managed to get a series of healthcare clinics up and running for healthcare poor areas, the Democratic Party ganged up on him to blindside him. The entire establishment went after Bernie, the man who the people ran, and who millions outside the country were supporting. No one, aside from Seth Meyers supported him. Noah could have made a difference, could have made THE difference, but he used his influence pull that stunt on him. As it turned out, it was revealed half the country , primed by Fox News, is fascist. Donald Trump. You can’t get a more dumbed down country than the USA.

Never before have we desperately needed someone to call out bullshit and try and keep things in perspective. Had he stayed, i can't say that he would changed the results of the Presidential election, but he very well might of. People listened to Jon. We believed him because he was genuine and frank. And you talk about missing the comedy (and terrifying) gold mine that is Trump. There have been so many times in the Trump Presidential era that I have thought "I wonder what Jon would of said about that?" and "Oh man, Jon Stewart would of had a hay day with that shit!!" Colbert has done an admirable job. Along with Seth Meyers, Jon Oliver, Trevor Noah and the more recent Jimmy Kimmel, they have done good jobs.

John for the love of god, come back and put your hat in for president, yeah I know it is to late now but we need you.

To this day, I think the only guest on Jon Stewart's show that ever got the better of him and decidedly out-debated him was Christopher Hitchens in 2004 over the Iraq war. At the time I had no idea who he was, but years later I never forgot that particular rhetorical ass-handing. Jon Stewart tended to argue with very humourless people, so whenever he was irrefutably proven wrong on a specific point and he knew it, he would easily brush it off with a quick-witted comedic quip, or by pandering to the audience for cheap applause, but Hitchens caught all of those in that debate and threw them back in Stewart's face.

+Brakathor Hitch was a superb arguer. But as much as I admire him, in the end, as it often is, Jon Stewart was right.

[@Brakathor]

+Jen'Ari-Asha Hitchens whittled down Jon Stewart's entire argument to "I didn't like president Bush's tone," which was just cringe worthy to have to listen to. Not to say that there weren't good arguments against going into Iraq at the time, OR Libya later on, but not enough people were making the right arguments. In Hitchens' mind, Saddam was a bad guy who had to go, and the ends justified the means. What I find very curious, however, is that Hitchens apparently knew the challenges that were ahead when he said "What's better, Theocracy or Dictatorship? Well if the Iraqi people could vote, they would choose theocracy, and I choose dictatorship." Seems almost hypocritical. It seems like he was allowing his righteousness and good conscience to prevent him from making the better choice between two evils. At the same time, It's very hard to maintain that you believe in The United Nations, if you allow dictators like Saddam Hussein to stay in power

Brakathor I never said that Hitch lost the argument. I said the exact opposite. My point is, that whilst Hitch was fantastic at arguing, in the end, he was wrong. And overthrowing a dictator is not all easy. You have to think of the long term consequences, not just the short term gain. The long term consequence of overthrowing Hussein was the destabilization of the middle east, which paved the path for ISIS to gain power in the region. Saddam was horrible, but he was preferable to ISIS: Letting him stay in power would had been more beneficial to the world. And if we had to remove him from office, we should had not done it the way we did. When we entered Iraq and overthrew him, we made all the decisions wrong. Disbanded the Iraqi army. Shit decision. Replaced Saddam with a Shiite. Shit decision. Had the US army stay in Iraq for waaaaaay too long. Shit decision.

[@Brakathor]

+Jen'Ari-Asha Ever hear the expression "Hindsight is 20/20?" It's not like anyone at the time could say "So... Saddam or Isis? Which should we choose?" It's a bit like blaming Paul Von Hinderberg for world war two. You just can't say something like "Saddam was horrible, but he was preferable to ISIS," in the context of a 2005 debate over a 2005 issue, and then build your argument upon that...

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Brakathor Let me repeat myself. I am not analyzing Hitchens argument. I have already seceded that he won, like twice. I am pointing out that he was incorrect.

Did they not interview anyone else? We cut to Al Sharpton way too much for his .02.
