The Crossfire appearance was a class in "How to m*rder a talk show in ten minutes".

He really seems like a genuine good guy, what you see is what you get! He's not putting on a character for TV!?

"They did their jobs with courage…and humility, DO YOURS!", could easily be spoken today towards the institutions of power betraying all of the USA.

Remember at the beginning of trumps second term when Watch Mojo tried to cash in and made a couple anti "woke" lists? I remember that. Didn't go great did it.

I had somehow managed to forget Glenn Beck existed, thank you so much for the reminder. Being Scottish and living here I had only ever encountered him as a ridiculous figure of fun on the internet. I'm strangely grateful to him for quite a few good belly laughs during what was a difficult time for me personally. But maybe the truly oddest thing about Glenn Beck is that he probably wouldn't be out of place in the current US political media space. Imagine being able somehow to tell yourself from back then that in a decade or so there would be a US president more ludicrous than Beck and George W combined…
Beck wouldn't be the only one getting ridiculed!

"It's been great to get to know you a little, and you are going to show us a lot. And I look forward to it"- George Carlin to Jon Stewart
He was right. One legend talking to another

The segment with the view from south Manhattan after 9/11 was the first piece of media I watched that felt hopeful at all.

I was at the Rally to Restore Sanity! That was such a cool day, the most people I have ever seen in one place. We were packed in the DC Metro like sardines leaving that evening.
The Crossfire moment was probably the best; I used to watch that show, and CNN in general, a lot when I was in high school, especially after 9/11. But that did it for me. It really opened my eyes and broke the spell of how much American news media is a total sham. It's a shame that all of Stewart's lambasting of the media since then has not had a similar effect.

Stewart is Carlin's successor, whether or not he wants the mantle. They're not the same kind of comedian, but I definitely see the same passion and righteous anger.

Im French Canadian, during the pandemic I started to look at Trump news on youtube and then I watched J. Kimmel since. But when he got canceled, I saw John Stewart for the first time, same tie as Trump and golden background. It was brilliant. I guess I could say the I knew him because of the youtube algorithm.

He needs to show up at congress more often to tell them to do their job.

13:45 mins in, and again Jon Stewart, it is very easy to object to something, but to take responsibility and act like George W Bush did on Iraq, and this is why there are not people being murdered their now in mass slaughters as there had been in the past.
@sebastianwrites
April 23, 2026 at 1:28 am
I like Jon, but his take on the Iraq War is stupid, sorry but it is!
Hussein murdered "100 000s" of people, if we hadn't of gone in, then he'd still be doing that now.
So to ignorantly say, "This was the biggest foreign policy mistake in the last 100 years" when hypocritically Jon and others would be now complaining of Hussein's horrendous murders if we had not gone in! It's just very easy comfortable middle or upper class people saying they don't like something, but then again 'hypocritically' refuse to do anything about it?

I’m a wrestling fan and I love Jon Stewart, but the wrestling stuff was pure cheeks.

If time travel ever becomes the thing the first thing I'm doing is going to see that Carlin/Stewart interview. I don't think I respect anyone as much as I respect these two men.

@WatchMojo One of my favorites is The Charlatan's Web episode about the EPA director Jon Beale who didn't work a single day at the office for 12 years and how far he went to get perks for the job he did not show up at. Best quote from Jon about the segment. "This man is a liar and boring as F***." Not as popular as other moments but its one of the funniest moments with the House Oversight Committee in utter disbelief.

A world where the pizza rant doesn’t crack the top 5 is a world that doesn’t make sense to me.
