Bill Maher's audience is arguably stupider than Stewart's. When I used to watch Maher even he used to have to tell his audience to calm down sometimes because they would cheer at the wrong thing.

Colbert and Stewart were great during the Bush administration.

Stewart probably could have ran for president and had a shot at winning.

Now he's just old.

Colbert's White house speech was a amazing bit of work especially all the awkward silence in the room among the beltway media circle jerkers as skewed everything from depending on gut feeling to corruption in DC.

comedy is also better when it runs contrary to the mainstream against those in power, poking fun at Bush administration's delusions/foreign misadventures is more rewarding than praising savior Obama while occasionally criticizing him.

Jon Stewart doesn't have to do anything to get the audience to go nuts.

I used to love the Daily Show and its still pretty watchable but the live audience is just UNBEARABLE. Christ. Its just embarrassing.

Yeah after the 2008 election the producers seemed to make it a priority to get drunk tourists in the audience every single night and tell them to act like the show was the Colbert Report where hyperbole was warranted, and Stewart started playing to their lower sensibilities even though it's never loving funny to watch at home. You can actively see Stewart just biding his time as a cable jester racking up insane paydays for minimal work.

This is really true. I find myself agreeing with Maher more than I want to but jesus gently caress is his show and his attitude insufferable.

I acutely remember watching a friend watch a Jeff Dunham special and nearly die laughing, and thinking "I know this is snobby as gently caress but I don't think I want to be friends with this guy anymore."

The fact that he's the closest thing late night has to a hard left personality depresses me. All the other so-called "liberal media" representatives are Center-Left at best.

Yeah when I say that I find myself agreeing with him more than I want to I do mean like, once a month I'll see one of this "closing thoughts" or whatever the gently caress on YouTube and think "he's got like one decent point in there no one else is saying." That's still a bit too much considering what a goddamn douche he is.
