re: Jon Stewart returning to Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" for 2024 election cycle

Jon is a huge lib that obviously skewered R's more than D's, but I always thought he was relatively fair (by very low standards), and he would rip D's very often. And he was actually funny.

All of this. I've never watched TDS regularly, but any time I did or any time I saw clips he was a good host. And like you said, I may not agree with his politics for the most part but he was at least pretty funny.

This is huge for them, as I suspect the value of TDS has gone completely off a cliff. You can't make me believe that very many people watch TDS since he left since Trevor Noah was so awful. And even moreso now that they keep trotting out as make woke democrats as possible to guest host.

I won't watch (since I never really do/have), but this is still pretty big news for CC. We'll see how unbiased he is once he's back. I've seen some things from him the last several years that make me think he's maybe cooled off the liberal idiocy, but then again I've seen other things that make me think he's still the same.

I can't imagine the boatload of money they threw at him to get him to come back, even if only temporarily.
