Never saw Daily Show, didn't really give a shit about him- always thought Colbert Report was more effective and cheekier anyway.
Then fucking Seth McFarlane of all people outs Stewart as being a shithead during the writers strike hahaha. Haven't been onboard with him since. We've got literally tons of libs ready to point out Cons contradictions- it's one of the easiest jobs as a media lib.
Remember that early family guy episode where stewey runs naked through the mall shouting that he had escaped from Kevin Spacey's basement? Years before anything actually happened to Spacey?
yup, heard about that one. also the oscars 2013 when he said “Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein” to the winners
Colbert also dropped his persona when he interviewed Assange. He asked his usual O'Reilly-style "doesn't this hurt America" questions, but you could hear his tone was serious, not sarcastic.
Colbert sold out harder than Stewart. His persona allowed for more radical dunking on power at the time, but he has essentially said "i t w a s a c o m e d y s h o w" since. Stewart at least said "this is too much work/pressure, I'm not actually changing anything".

this doesn't make it any better lol
eh I stand by it. I like Colbert's 'awful' persona rather than the Stewart's 'down to earth no bullshit' nonsense
Colbert would get the best guests and then ask joke questions or softball them and waste the entire interview.
Stewart made his money and quit, good riddance
