Olivia Munn on Jon Stewart | 2022 Mark Twain Prize

I will admit, that punchline got me. I loved how we were set up to believe that John Stewart is humble, given that he keeps his awards in a cardboard box. But no, it’s because he’s “lazy and vaguely disrespectful.” 😂 Actually laughed out loud. Kudos!

The amount of talent that has followed in Stewart's wake, via the Daily Show, is completely unheard of on cable television, and it will probably never be topped.

[@swmrgirl9979]

I feel like Olivia Munn is generally overlooked for how funny she is because of how attractive she is (mostly people who haven't seen much of her work but recognize her). This woman can deliver!!!

[@SaHayes-it2uw]

I think she's grown a lot.

[@vanthadoun1]

agreed, hey if she can get a guy like John Mulaney to fall for her, she must have more than looks. I always thought that she was funny, too bad she hasnt landed a good role in any movies. And yes, I know she was Psylocke but she had 2 lines!!!!

I don’t feel as though she is either based on this, but then again I’ve never seen her in anything else

[@trojoe]

The best month of my career was the month I spent working closely with Jon on his film "Irresistible." I was just a stand-in and body double for Topher Grace but when I wasn't working one of his scenes, Jon invited me to sit near video village. So I did. Every day for a month. I absorbed every lesson he has to teach about directing and at the end of that month I had a new friend. It was absolutely surreal.

[@Lepidopterous.]

I didn’t expect this to be that good but Olivia Munn is sharp and delivers her lines on point! Like a seasoned comedian

[@dasbootykid]

I'm sure she's funny on her own, but I wonder if her SO, John Mulaney, did any coaching with her.

[@RosablueHandMade]

She was so brilliant in The Newsroom. So funny and so smart. I want her to get a half-decent movie. Her choices have been rank

Also, he gave us a brilliant bunch of alumni with Colbert, Carrel, Elms, Oliver, Munn, Noah, Bee, etc. I'm part of the generation that grew up with his show and the Colbert Report, I'll be forever in his debt for making American politics accessible and funny and wanting to be abreast of what's brewing in DC

@@ajagoff True, but Lewis Black predates him (like Stephen Colbert). From Wikipedia: "Lewis Black is the longest-running contributor ("Back in Black") to work on The Daily Show, having served on the show since the first month it was on the air."

I want to see her given a chance by Marvel to do Betsy Braddock/Psylocke properly with a decent script and a decent director this time. Maybe she can be one of the X-men introduced, or they could do an Excalibur film in the MCU or a Disney+ series or something. That character, along with Ororo/Storm, Angel and Magneto were poorly handled by Fox in Age of Apocalypse.
