Honestly haven’t touched the show since Trevor Noah made kissy-faces with Tomi Lauri.
I just can’t do another “Rally To Restore Sanity”. It was a lifeline during the Bush Years, when every TV station and half the internet was gaslighting Americans into believing Arabs were subhuman and Terri Schiavo was on the road to recovery. But we’re so far pasted putting a laugh track over a genocide. Stewart’s brand of liberalism is too weak and too accommodating to the “moderate” wing of the conservative movement.
He produced a bunch of mid-10s comedy talent. But after that…
The show is very different from when you last watched it, and Stewart is very different from when he was the full-time host. He’s far less accommodating of moderates. I recommend watching some of his Monday shows and see if your opinion changes. You really can’t judge the current iteration of the show based on when it had a totally different host and format.
