I'm one of those morons who enjoys The Daily Show's intelligent satire. Stewart is razor sharp and you do not want to get into a battle of words with him. [1]

- wyclif 14y agoI like The Daily Show, but putting Stewart on a pedestal as someone who is "razor sharp" frankly doesn't impress me much. It's a relative concept. Most of the intelligent people I hang out with would be considered, in terms of vocabulary, verbal acuity, and debate skills, far better than a group of television talking heads. Put Stewart up against someone like Christopher Hitchens, Camille Paglia, or any other random public intellectual and I don't think you'd find them shaking in their boots at the prospect of a "war of words."
- toddmorey 14y agoYou got me wrong. I mean he has razor-sharp wit as a satirist. He's an intelligent comic whose mind works quickly. I don't think it puts him on a pedestal to say he deserves some credit for being extremely good at what he does. Hitchens made several appearances on TDS and I think it resulted in great conversation.
- wyclif 14y agoAgreed...I love the show, same for Colbert. I just wish they would let those kinds of guests talk more.
