There Will Never Be Another Jon Stewart

From humble beginnings, and with the winds of expertise beneath his wings, Jon Stewart became one of the greatest television hosts of all time. Let's dive into both the controversy, the successes, and what makes him so darn appealing.

[@thompsonnoel]

One of the things that sets him apart and makes him more relatable is that he reacts to the news with us instead of telling us the news. He lets the clips speak for themselves and then builds his point from them. Everyone else is uses the clips to prove their point.

[@mahaffer71]

and tell us his biased propaganda ideas

[@thompsonnoel]

@@mahaffer71 yeah, how dare a political satirist have a political opinion

[@mahaffer71]

@@thompsonnoel Satire as cover for propaganda. You can have political opinion, but when its clear to put an idea and being a hypocrite at the same time. Its can only be propaganda. JS did the same thing as Trump valuing his property at a higher rate than what it was worth.

[@thompsonnoel]

@@mahaffer71 Trump misled lenders by inflating the property value of his business assets which is fraud. Jon Stewart found a buyer willing to buy a house at a high market value. Property value and market value are completely different things. Then again, It's understandable to have a problem with that but if you do what you have is a problem with capitalism. That makes you a cool cat!

[@eddydrouet1888]

It's not the same as Trump. Trump overvalued the assets in his property in order to get loans easily approved, things like square footage, even, and then undervalued it when he was reporting for taxes . Jon Stewart simply sold it at a higher value to a private entity who accepted that price. Nothing to do with Trump in the slightest.

[@OliveDasi]

I remember his show on 9/11. I watched it terrified and confused at the time as a teenager. It helped me understand that everyone was upset and scared - even those who were rich and famous. It's one of the strongest memories I have of that day. It was the only part of the day I had a moment of calm and could grieve rather than shake with fear. His work, activism, and legacy will never have words on the impact.

[@thesoundsmith]

Wow. I'm glad he was helpful for you. The national trauma has subsided, but the personal horror remains for many.

[@fyfyi6053]

If Jon Stewart is so great than how come the ratings on his show are so horrendous. lol

As a non american I'd say that this is one of the worst things america gave to the wrId... is this guy. I'd rather watch Jay Leno than watch this guy.

This was just lovely. Thank you. Most of us who revere Jon Stewart recognize in him that his intelligence, courage, integrity and humor are special and unmatched. He remains a force for good in our troubled world and we who trust him to tell us the truth are grateful to have him back on the air.

[@andrewstrongman305]

As an Australian, I rarely saw any of Jon Stewart's Daily show other than a few clips where he confronted the likes of Bill O'Reilly, or later appearances on Colbert. Having seen a few of his recent programs, I have to agree that he's the best TV host I've ever seen. His intelligence and sharp wit is always tempered by humility and compassion, and I think he's a true inspiration to others. It's said that: "Great leaders are people who don’t seek power but take responsibility because they have the capability and empathy to help others." If Stewart was encouraged to run for President in 2028, he'd A) Make a great president, and B) Avoid any Biden Administration baggage.

[@snowman22ism]

The clip where he was talking about his dog really hit me in the feels.

[@robweissman5952]

The clip of him pinning that medal hit me, but prob not in the same way. 😕

[@tmoney142]

All the tragedies and human atrocities Stewart has discussed over the years, but it's the dog dying that sheds the most tears from him and his audience.

[@joshuawertman8711]

Jon Stewart and John Oliver are two of my favorite John's. Oliver cover things you didn't know were such a big issue, and Stewart covers things already being blasted at us. They are both great and touch on important topics but in a way that is funny and makes you think.

[@fuckamericanidiot]

John Oliver is an English worm.

[@miguelsi7543]

Stewart truly is a blessing to humanity, thank you for this excellent piece 👏🏽

[@someguy2135]

I was so glad to hear that he was returning to The Daily Show in time for the presidential election, which like the last one, is (once again) the most important election in our lifetime.

[@Tenvalmestr]

As a foreigner, not fluent in english, I never watched US TV show. We don't have them, and I didn't really care about them (not my country, not my culture, you know...) With what is happening since Trump, and especially with the current presidential campaign, I started to watch everything I could get on KZbin that talk about that. I started to see old Daily show episodes (with Trevor Noah), and just a few months after that John Stewart came back. He is, by far, my favorite host of those kind of shows. Many are really biased and act like they're going to give a lesson. It's really annoying when (like me) you try to understand what is happening. And I say this while being against Trump, and still sometimes I feel it's too much. Stewart is fair, honest, professional and also extremely funny, really he is just as perfect as it can be for his job. I can also see a lot of potential in Jordan Klepper, when he tries to be neutral. His interview to put Trump supporters in their own contradictions are just a jewel ! John Oliver is also good, but not as much as John Stewart. (Sorry if I made any mistakes, I know it's good enough to be understood, but still)

[@thesoundsmith]

Your English is WAY better than my ANY other spoken language. It's a wise idea to understand what your possible enemy is saying, especially if it is Donald Trump.

[@pluto7389]

One of the only truly decent people in Hollywood ( I know he lives in NY)

[@wyattcole5452]

Umm no but ok

[@someguy2135]

I am sure there are plenty of other decent people in Hollywood, but Jon stands out, for sure. Most people don't know that he is not only vegan, but also owns a farm animal sanctuary. It shows how he goes the extra mile to make a difference.

[@wyattcole5452]

@@someguy2135the one example does, yea. The other is a dietary choice, are you talking about making a difference on his health choices?

[@thompsonnoel]

What are you calling Hollywood? He has never even been near to Hollywood

[@DanTheMan104]

New York 😂

[@BitWrecker]

Jon told me everything I need to know a long time ago about ripping apart cable news and being cynical about everything they say. Taught me how to care about fact check and reality versus what the media wants you to know. And unlike what your many people are told, it's not just Fox News, it's all of them

[@IonWafflesPlaysMC]

Brother you need more subscribers this was phenomenal

[@Renzy_YT]

thank you! :D

He has the right number of subs for now. His growth is organic. There are channels with millions of subs averaging 10k views with 100 likes. When his time comes his audience will find him like me from East Africa.

Making me want to rewatch old episodes just to learn how he conducts himself so well with different people. Thank you😄

[@rossdavies-hooper3602]

Couldn't have said it better myself. He is the GOAT.

[@chrismodski6284]

That was really good. Both as a story and as a bit of production. Impressive. Stewart is like a modern Mark Twain, with his inimitable style and unique wit. I don't know he's the best TV host of all time, but he's definitely in rare air.

[@Dozer4200]

When there's a Renzy video, I click. "If I fits, I sits". I would love to see a "part two" of this, that goes more in-depth about how he's not only basically made the landscape of political satire, but also made a great impact on what's followed on the foundation he's laid, going further in on what you touched slightly here, with the like of Carrell, Colbert and especially Olliver, who I think has made the most success and kept on this track, albeit in his very own style. Great work as always.

[@potterpotty01]

from about 2001 as a Brit The Daily show was my source for news of what was going on in america.

[@siddshrestha]

John and Conan are two sides of same coin. One is smart funny. Another is complete crazy funny. Both legends. Only late night people who are actually funny. Both need to be saved for eternity.

[@EvelynBaron]

It's hard to think of the funniest interview Conan ever did but the old one with Tom Petty way back in 1999 still gets me going. "I like your boots. "you want one?" takes it off etc. Who gave it to you? Ah,.... Bruce Springsteen, no I don't remember but it's served me well" well you're going to have to limp off the stage then my friend etc. it was priceless.

[@bohoasa]

ive grown to be more pessimistic about this world and seeing how fucked up it can be. only time i let my guard down and felt calm was when I was watching Jon Stewart, I genuinely can relate to him and love him for that. I hope he can reach out to my generation more so and guide those who watch him to have a better outlook in this crazy landscape we live in.

[@cerberus01]

Maybe not a better outlook, but happy to see that there is someone out there that genuinely understands the struggle that isn't just out for ratings, which has a soothing effect.

[@christianporter3638]

This was just brilliant. Edited, written, and presented. Side note, while John has the delivery, credit should also go to their writers as well 😊

[@jennifersanchezdelaguarda3753]

Jon always credits his people (employees, 9/11 workers, veterans)!

[@parabrahmadas]

The fact he understands the average American "can't take it anymore" 😂that's it for me, thats why he's so relatable, he just gets it

[@nickmarras249]

After 9/11 I was searching for so many answers. He provided all of them. I am proud to say he has influenced my ideology.

[@PhilipJackson03]

His best Alumni is absolutely John Oliver. The two are very much on that same playing field of keeping it straight when discussing nuanced topics but inject enough comedy to make you feel more optimistic about the terror you’re having to listen to. John however I do think has an unmatched charisma. Where his badshit energy matches the badshit thing he’s talking about. That’s what makes him enduring and I think the reason why the Daily show continues to struggle to find a future without him is fundementally because they want to look for another John, and that person doesn’t exist. I would 100% not be surprised if they offer him the job again. He does well on TV, and online too. The man truly is unmatched in his craft. P.S - Samantha Bee was also very good and deserved better.

[@thatrandomnoob8611]

And Jon is the best comedian inspired by George Carlin who’s the GOAT.

[@Corneilus1]

“Tipper”….I am ruined

[@PaginatedStar45]

I think a good person to do one of these on would be Norm Macdonald. I've been looking through his stuff, and I see this real sweet guy who hid his intelligence greatly to let others shine and have a good time. It also worked out that you showed Norm briefly in this.

[@Renzy_YT]

He's a priority in the stack of topics I wanna do. I'm sure I'll get there in due time but I don't wanna do a topic that's unanimously loved/praised at a scale like Norm's without it being a longer video, and I usually do 15min+ once every few videos to avoid topic fatigue/phoning it in. It'll happen forsure tho!

[@PaginatedStar45]

@Renzy_YT I'm glad to hear that. Can't wait for. Meanwhile, I'll just have to keep up with whatever projects you post in the future. It's really great stuff.

[@audramcdonaldapologist3676]

I mean the joke he made about the Brandon Teena and the fact he sexually harassed and assaulted women shows he wasn’t that sweet, please discuss his whole legacy not just him being a comedic darling

[@PaginatedStar45]

@audramcdonaldapologist3676 I don't think you understand his full life there. You mention his comedy, which was always harsh and meant to get the crowd uncomfortable. It was meant to be entertainment. It has absolutely no correlation to his actual character. You wouldn't say an actor is a terrible person if their on-screen character beat someone in the movie. It is the same for comedy. When they're doing their acts, they are more so putting on a character. Bo Burnam is a great example, as throughout some of his earlier shows, he would have pre-recorded audio that he would have conversations with as though it was a character of his show. You can't judge a comedian off of their jokes. Jokes will never truly represent them. That's why when I say he's a nice person, it's because what I have heard people say about him when he is not putting on a performance. Andy Reichert had a great instance of this where Norm talked to Andy's sister an hour and a half before a show because she was nervous and distraught in life. He even said that his sister felt comforted by Norm as he was going in depth in their conversation and trying to help her. So yes, despite his jokes like the one on Teena, I would say he was a sweet and nice guy.

[@EvelynBaron]

@@PaginatedStar45Yeah, I never get that people conflate a performance with the performer. A good example not perhaps that well known in the US is the actor David Tennant (Dr. Who is a UK institution) who is famous for playing villains but in real life incredibly generous and agreeable and ... has a true moral compass. Also happens to be, according to me, a great stage actor who knew he was going to give up his privacy when in that context he became really well known in Britain, wouldn't talk about his family for years until recently, went into therapy for anxiety. He said I just think there's a lack of decency and kindness in the world and if I had any advice to give anyone it would be show up, learn your lines and don't be a jerk. Works for me.

Wow. Great video. Solid writing. I remember thinking back in '98, "Wait, Craig is leaving the Daily Show??? How will they replace him....?" I also remember sitting in a classroom on 27th street in nyc and seeing the old Jon Stewart banner from his first show on a balcony with other studio debris. One of my favorite DS jokes got cut off in the video. "Dick Cheney's hunting partner and best friend....seasoned within an inch of his life." Jon Stewart is one of the finest men walking the earth.

[@Renzy_YT]

That was such a cool vivid image of the early days you painted. He must’ve thought it was gonna get cancelled asap 😭

[@MrRezRising]

@@Renzy_YT I also remember he had been offered a much bigger gig hosting a show out in LA but turned it down bc he didn't want to leave nyc. It was a shock to hear such a different pov, that he didn't just follow the fame and money, but instead chose 'basic cable'...and full creative control. The Wayne's World of politics.

[@mrrd4444]

Jon is EXTREMELY POLITICAL in a way where he believes every single thing he says and stands for, he does the work to fight for it, and it comes from a place of deep empathy and care for his fellow human beings. It seems almost antithetical to his role as a "Hollywood" talk show host, but it's something people value. He does not prevaricate, he does not hide from criticism and he does not stand by hypocrisy. He does not think politics is about standing with one party and staying there, but with the consistent and active work for the sake of those who need it most. It's why he isn't afraid of criticizing people he ostensibly shares politics with, because his principles matter more than teams or parties, and those he criticizes are more likely to have betrayed those principles and politics before he did.

[@MsBuddhabelly]

That was awesome - great job putting it together. He's one of a kind. No getting around it.

Fantastic piece of work brother! Jon Stewart must be protected at all costs. He is a goddamn American Treasure and there's a reason he's so hugely popular among Centrists and Independents. Ironically, despite this, neither side has yet to truly realize just how many of us there are. That well-adjusted, well-informed central plane is where the actual US Majority resides, and I'm pleased to say his return has really reminded me of that.

[@BjornSeverinLarsen]

I mean, you can claim that, but it' not like Carlin didn't make it clear, via his comedy, which side he was on. Yes, morons ignore anything he said that showed how he felt, but I mean, the comedy shows and books he wrote are there for all to read and not ignore when its inconvenient. I don't think someone's slant being clear in the comedy is a problem in and of itself - many comedians make it clear if you listen to enough of them.

[@EvelynBaron]

I agree. In fact Jon Stewart recorded a conversation about Carlin that was really in depth and I learned a lot, Carlin totally in a class on his own. Didn't know Lenny Bruce discovered him for one thing, it was fascinating.

John Stewart is, and will always be the best. No question.

[@lilgrannyari]

I adore John and Conan O'Brien and I think it's because if a shared trait they possess: authenticity. For John, it was his emotional truth (I know that's a loaded term but just go with it) and Conan his genuine kindness. Add to that their quick minds able to pick out obsurdities expeditiously. They had very different shows back in the early 2000s when I discovered them, but you felt like you were being entertained by a friend, not an entertainer.
