Watching The Colbert Report and Daily Show in the 2000s was something I always looked forward to each night. It’ll be nice to have Jon back, if only once a week.
There was a time when I would have praised Stewart for getting out while the getting was good (ignoring his awful podcast), but it looks like he wants to go the way of Stephen Colbert instead. RIP in peace you god damn liberal.
I think that, with everybody else zigging, they should zag. Give it to Stavros and make it completely apolitical, just bring celebrities on to talk about their dicks.
you can’t even get him to host it daily? at this point just shutter the show. there’s plenty of people doing good lib/progressive political comedy (and way more doing it badly), but a legacy network like Comedy Central has nothing to offer them.
I’ve had major respect for him since he was on crossfire way back in the day. He took those guys to school and then beat them (verbally) like a rented mule. Crossfire went off the air shortly after his appearance. If you have never seen that episode do yourself a favor and go watch it.
And the painful thing is that all that dressdown, which should have ended careers, resulted in was to set Tucker Carlson on a path of becoming the face of the extreme right.
I’m not really a bar kind of guy but if there was a quarks type place near me I might hang out there. There are a couple of “barcades” in my city and at least one of them has some punk and other rock shows on the regular, I keep meaning to take the time and check them out.
Stewart, who spent 16 years at the show, the majority of them Emmy-winning, will be heavily involved as an executive producer on the other nights as well.
But yeah we’ll see - they are offering him a ton of work that just isn’t worth it, but if he is willing…
Okay, but is it going to include a copy of the glossary that was given to theatre goers at the original release so they might have some idea of what was going on?
If it’s the TV edit, it will be nearly 3 hours log and have a dreadful illustrated still art at the beging talking about the Butlerian Jihad for 20 minutes. It’s awful and got the Alan Smithee treatment by the director (for very good reason). The TV edit is a hard watch.
The theatrical release is awesome and 2 and a half hours long. Princess Irulan opens with a bizarre monologue that fades her in and out. The movie is underrated because it’s clearly 2 movies crammed into 1 (entirely the fault of Dino De Laurentis) but it’s worth watching. The music, the acting, the wonky ass special effects - it’s all mesmerizing even if it isn’t consistently good. But at times it’s fucking awesome and worth the watch.
