Just watching the beginning and seeing him scribble on a piece of paper gave me chills. Such a little thing but I've never seen anyone else do that, and I guess it just means the Daily Show is about to start!
-
Some More News sort of does this. There's a bunch of blank papers in front of Cody that's basically a prop to shuffle around. I bet it was inspired by Jon.

Jon Stewart is such a pro. He’s at the top of his game, even still. He’s just so far above other political commentators it’s beautiful to watch.
And if Colbert makes an appearance this season I will scream like Flanders at those purple drapes.
-
I think Colbert is happy to be done with that character. Besides, it's been proven that no matter how ridiculous the character gets, people will still vote for it
-
The most trusted name in news for basically the entirety of my adult life. He's absolutely amazing. Shame he'll never run for office.
-
-
That was amazing. I'm so glad he's back, even in a limited capacity.
-
Heh...

Free from the shackles of AppleTV. It's nice to see him back in the seat where I learned about him the first time many many years ago.
-
My hot take is that he’s also much better when given constrained time. The Problem was interesting, but his comedy and commentary is forced to be much more clear and concise on the Daily Show. And when something bombs, the Daily Show doesn’t leave time to wade through a segment that isn’t working.
-
Not a bad take. I agree he's funnier in the constrained time, but I also liked the The Problem where he had more time for thoughtful discussions, interviews and debates. A lot less funny though.
-
Might also just be different and better writers on The Daily Show. /shrug
-
I legitimately didn't enjoy the panel format most episodes.

-
That was fucking great.
-
Welcome back Jon. You haven't lost an inch and I'm happy to get some sanity back in my life.
-
With media screaming in both directions at all times, it's great to see the supreme satirist spinning it all for us. Welcome back, Jon!
-
A great watch!
-
-
It's great to see him back in the chair. Something about his speech is odd, though. The S's especially.

The dude's in his 60s now. Give him a break.

Where's a piped bot when you need one?
-
I don't think they work on posts, just on comments. Let's see if they'll respond to my link
-
Thanks for your effort

I am definitely a bot. Trust me no-one on the internet lies, pinky swear.

I've seen some complaints about him not going hard enough on Trump and trying to do a false equivalency with Biden being old. I don't see that. My impression was he was trying to appear impartial at first so when he does go hard on Trump later people won't question his motives. It's a marathon not a sprint.
Also by him saying they are both old he takes that issue off the table when comparing the two. So now it's not "one has dementia, the other is a fascist". It becomes "one is not a fascist, and the other is a fascist".

Yeah Jon Stewart, the guy who is famously all about the money lol. Also everyone knows it's not going to last because all the marketing says he's a temporary host only on Mondays... What exactly is the point of your post here? You've provided no new or interesting information but seem desperate to neg TDS and are failing to do so miserably. This is one of the dumbest takes I've seen in a while.
-
A few things probably, because CC surely isn't throwing money around.
- He needed a break
- Apple cancelled his other show because he talked shit about some things they didn't like, effectively censoring him.
That's what the opening here was about with the topics he feels free to discuss on TDS. He doesn't want to be boxed in, and TDS gives him the platform to say what he wants to say, and just doing Mondays is a fair way to get involved again as a creative voice on the show, and let everyone else associated with it get reinvigorated about it as well after months of it being in limbo. I expect the ratings to climb again now that he's back. The content of this one show speaks for itself. He's great here.

Trevor Noah was amazing.
-
-
Tevor Noah was really good, but he's not on Stewart's level, and unfortunately it seemed like all of the pressure and attacks on Noah really started eating at him, I hope Noah finds his groove again and continues to do good, but I'm glad Jon is back, we needed his gravitas for what we're facing politically this year.

Amazing to see Jon back. I watched The Daily Show with Jon Stewart obsessively for years, and never thought to see this again. He's still got it. Just a few more white hairs.
Given that I also aged in the interim, I prefer his current look. He's a silver fox.
I haven't laughed that hard in a while. I'm grateful that he's back to give us a way to laugh through the bullshit and motivate us to keep fighting.
Literally almost spit out my iced latte this am watching. Glad to see him back. Great show.
His Apple TV show was great too, except for Apple being scared to let anybody criticize China.
I liked the Apple TV show, too. The podcast was one of my absolute go-to's every week, even if I was not that interested in the topic. He said something in one of them similar to the idea he had at the end of Monday's TDS where he said that if you want to do change, it takes hard work on the local level. If you want to get out of the mind-fuck that is national politics in the US (and I'd argue in most places), you need to actually pay attention to what is happening in your own neighborhood and try to fix that.
It’s brittle and pearlescent! I can’t stand it!
Yeah, its weird tos ee how young he looked back then. I never put much thought into that. It didnt feel like it was that long ago.
It would be great if he could get Steven Colbert and John Oliver to take up their roles as again, too.
Don't forget that lunar surface.
