Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show

[crows]

Crows... what? I... are you... everyone knows that dude. I figured that out when I was like 7 and watching Kilborne do it for laughs.

I mean that's literally what made Stephen Colbert famous. Manipulating his interviews to the extreme most to be funny.

well with Colbert it looks obvious that he is messing up the interviews for laughs. He is playing a character, and the interviews tend to be silly.

The problem I got from the Daily Show is that, while they also used humor in their sketches, they were trying to push serious subjects into the viewers from a twisted perspective. A lot of their sketches were about serious issues and a lot of people buys into it. (Colbert also talked about serious issues but you knew he was in on the joke)

the Daily show interviews were more like "A-HA, SEE, THIS GUY IS EVIL AND HE REPRESENTS EVIL THINGS SO YOU MUST HATE HIM, LOOK AT HOW SARCASTIC AND WITTY WE ARE"

That clip is from The Daily Show though. Watch Steve Correl, Rob Corridry, Jason and Ed's old stuff. They constantly make people look retarded. It's The Daily Show's entire M.O. Jason Jones, Rob Riggle, Sam Bee, they were especially brutal.

I've been a fan of Stewart for a long time, but my fandom's waned the past few years. Can't say I'm sorry to see him go. He's become part of the media he so likes to skewer. So much for staying above the fray.

well I used to be a fan, I used to like the show, But it just feels very different now. one thing is to make fun of stupid people and another thing is to make normal people seem stupid by twisting their 4 hour interviews just to push their agenda (Even if it is totally false) It's like if you disagreed with them you are made out to be this horrible monster of a person. And yeah I was just thinking about Colbert and his new show, he still carried some of that humor from the old Daily Show
Sam Bee is the worst thing to happen to television... there I said it.

You really, REALLY hate this show, huh?

I started to hate how much they manipulate interviews and stuff, I remember seeing some video on how they interviewed this guy for 4 hours and then when they did the sketch they only used the parts that made him sound like a horrible person.
then of course, the guy started to be harassed because of it, A lot of people (famous and professionals) were telling others to stay away from the Daily show because of how bad they were with twisting your words.

You could see the whole interviews on Comedy Central of the main guests.

Is not the main guest interviews the ones they twist, is the Jokey ones where they try to push a subject by making the other people look insane. Like Dekard mentioned, they used to do it for humor before (interviewing actual weirdos) but that changed recently

A lot of people on SSF seem to like him, but I couldn't care less. He has a host of different writers manufacturing his scripts, that are skewed with so many half-truths. And then there's the misinformed, college audience that laugh at all the jokes and take it in, because they look at the Daily Show as their only source of "intelligible" news.
