In TFA, Brian Williams mentions Stewart's takedown of Cramer in an interview in which 'the odds were stacked against Jim Cramer'.
This brought to mind a brilliant attack on the now defunct political show "Crossfire", in which Liberals battled Conservatives. In a nutshell, Stewart was brought on as a guest after attacking Crossfire on The Daily Show. Although Stewart is the guest on the show, he takes the offensive and puts the Crossfire hosts at an instant disadvantage.

- pavs 17y agoThe odds were stacked against the hosts. Cause you know, they are dumb and partisan hacks pretending to be fair under the disguise of a talk show. One of those idiots, Tucker Carlson, never bounced back and lost his job.
- cookiecaper 17y agoI guess I don't know what you mean by "never bounced back". Tucker Carlson hosted a show on MSNBC called "Tucker" for multiple years after Crossfire's cancellation, until around the end of 2008 iirc. I think if you get your _own_ TV show, and it runs for a few years, that's "bouncing back".
- pavs 17y agoBoth of his shows got cancelled. Hence, never bounced back. When you get demoted from a show host to a "panelist", that's not bouncing back. Its like Conan O' Brian doing stand-up gigs after leaving The Tonight Show.
- cookiecaper 17y agoWell, at some point that happens to everyone. I think he bounced back, but was dropped again. "bounce back" doesn't have to be permanent; it's not like Tucker never received momentum, it ran for almost three years, which is longer than a lot of shows on cable news.
