You know oddly enough Jon Stewart (if I'm not mistaken) had a late night show in the early or mid 90's on Fox or CBS, ABC, but instead of having a desk and chairs and a normal looking late night show set up. I think he had like bean bags and he looked stoned all the time and the show was a total fail. I don't even know if it had more than 10 shows before it was canceled. He was not funny and not good at being serious, his interviewing skills sucked. Either he was really stoned or they made it to look like he was to attract that kind of audience. It was painful to watch that show but look at him now, his show is great. I haven't seen it in years only because I only have basic cable and before that no TV at all.
Does anyone remember that show of his? It was pretty late though, like a 2am show Central Time.

I do recall that Marilyn Manson was probably single-handedly responsible for its cancellation. :stongue:

yup, that was basically what kick-started his career after a stint of standup and improv. it was for mtv and it was kinda fail, but i believe the ratings weren't as terrible as what most people think; it was just bounced around timeslots or something (ie wasn't given much of a chance to solidify itself as a household program for the gen Xer's of the 90's).
it might've lasted a couple seasons, actually.. i can't remember, it was technically before my time (was in elementary or middle school when jon was on mtv).
man, i remember when he replaced craig kilbourne, i thought, "the daily show is gonna in suck now, craig kilbourne made that show." but instead it slowly evolves from a completely joke tv show based entirely on false and falsifying soft/human interest news into something legitimate that took itself a bit more seriously and did less of the lampooning of americans being americans in their private little subcultures and focused more on covering the absurdity of real, hard news, worldwide issues, and basically threw out the old style of satirical editorialism (like what the onion does nowadays). does anyone else see that or is that just me?
