    I know, scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds, but I'm interested. Not only were his politics much better than most of his contemporaries or successors, his comedy was also much better. Plus, Stewart comes off as the kind of guy who won't double down on the kind of problematic humor that he used to use frequently, unlike Maher, who thinks that being told not to use the N word is equivalent to living in Nazi Germany.

        That was the best week or whatever of late night TV I've ever seen. To hell with the saccharine, over produced shit the writers came up with. Watching Stewart try to just wing it was the shit, just a guy at a desk trying to make some sense of the growing absurdity of the world, or at least make fun of it.

        Fire all the writers everywhere, actually

        MAKE COMEDY REAL AGAIN
