No one can, in effect, replace Jon Stewart he is a singular, iconic satirist who has carried on an American TV tradition of political and cultural commentary. It was largely brought to broadcast in the 1960's, with shows like The Smothers Brothers, Martin and Rowan, This is the Week That Was and others. In the 70's, we saw the launch of Saturday Night Live, which still delivers fairly good work satirizing many of the current events as they unfold.
Jon is still here and I hope to hell he finds another platform to continue to deliver his often brilliant, hugely insightful and always entertaining commentary of life in a rebellious America. Who else could have struck up such great rela5b4tionships with key 'news entertainers' on Fox News and the like. He's well-liked and respected by many on every side and helped usher in a conversation around the table to give voice to a broad, diverse audience of people from young to older with great wit.
Boy, we really miss him!! -

No matter who is in the White House, which party is talking or what the issues are, Stewart has always had PLENTY of great material to work with . . . Because, in large part, this Country's so-called 'leaders', our two constantly dueling major political parties, our various National/State
legislators and the bulk of
our populace are pretty nuts
providing endless, rich
material ripe for interpretation by a whip-
smart comedian and
commentator like Jon Stewart.
Again, I look forward to
enjoying his next chapter of
performances whatever the
form is!
