Yes this is why he’s a hack. He’ll attack and jab but when he gets push back he pussies out with this. It’s a weasel thing to do.

I don’t know. I caught a few minutes last night. I never watch TDS outside of a few minutes here and there and didn’t even realize he was back on air yet, but I thought he was fine. At the very least he’s pretty funny, which is a huge step up from what they’ve had the last however many years or so.

And in the few minutes I saw he was doing a decent job bashing both sides. I’m pro Trump by default I guess, but I don’t care if people make fun of him. Just don’t pretend like he’s an idiot and Biden is great. And he didn’t last night. In fact he hit pretty hard on the fact that he’s losing his mind and isn’t fit for office, made fun of him for being on TikTok, and did the “can we video him being sharp and focused?” chocolate chip cookie bit.

I still won’t watch the show regularly but at least now if it’s on my tv I won’t break my neck trying to find the remote to change the channel like I did when Noah was on. Even if I don’t agree with Stewart’s politics, he makes the show a lot more palatable for me.

Watched it this morning, enjoyed it. Always been a fan of Jon and I’m a conservative. Remember when Colbert was the voice of the conservative after taking over for Jon back in the 2000s? And that guy turned out to be a leftist loon. I don’t really care if someone has a different political view than mine as long as they are able to have an adult conversation over it. Most of the left have lost their minds in this day and age though and can’t accept any wrong doing.

As someone who was an avid watcher from the time he replaced Craig Kilborn until he left he consistently did what 3nout and I mentioned. He was always funny to me heading back to half baked but his avoiding pushback when he received it(almost exclusively from conservative folk) by hiding behind the comedian angle was always cowardly to me. I have last night’s episode saved to watch this evening so I’ll see if it’s more like his shitty Apple show or a return to form.
