In Stewart's absence I've started enjoying Full Frontal with Samatha Bee.

I keep hearing this/seeing it being asserted. Can anyone provide any evidence of this? I was obviously much younger in the late 90s, but I feel like I was old enough that I would have remembered it.

It's OK. For those who are missing Jon, I have found that much better substitutes are Samantha Bee and Seth Meyers.

Yes, I have heard this. The most noble men and women do not want power and the burden that comes with it. The ones who want power are crazy or greedy.

If she "sure as hell" did this, how come none of you can point to any evidence of this?

Yeah, you just edited together about thirty years of inconsistencies.
The only constant through that entire time is the racism.
And misogyny

Why so many of you dems see John Stewart as your savior is beyond me.
He is a f**king comedian - NOT a political expert.
Actually the problem is people like you who follow the political elites grinding their agenda out on cable talk shows. Thinking that shit is any but prepackaged bread and circuses shows how uninformed people are. Castigat ridendo mores.

Jon Stewart said Trump is a "man baby." I thought that was apt.

Daily show and Colbert report watchers were better informed than your average citizen-look it up. Most watchers are well educated and got their news from multiple sources.
They may just be comedians, but they and their staffs were absolutely great at opposition-type research and pointing out major hypocrisies in our system.
I would not have made it through the bush years without them - because if you couldn't laugh, you would most definitely curl up in a ball and cry.

If you told Bill Maher Muslim terrorism is a serious problem, and white people shouldn't constantly apologize for being themselves, he would have invited him to the show.
I'm not sure that I get what you're trying to say, but Bill Maher is ridiculously anti-Muslim.
The OP was mocking the hypocrisy of Jonathan Leibowitz. I just wanted to add Bill Maher also agreed with some positions of a certain candidate they are all making fun of.

Bill maher is anti-religion. He's equal opportunity.
I don't think he's ridiculously anti-Muslim - I have seen him do great interviews with people who are just trying to point out some of the things that are wrong with governments in the Muslim world, many of them dealing with the rights of women (or lack thereof).
