I mean, Jordan or Desi could easily carry the show.
Ronnie still needs some time, and if you haven't been watching Josh Johnson on standup you need to start.
He uploads a couple half hour sets a week, and it's all current topics. Dude could have his own show tomorrow and pull it off.
I started watching his stuff at some point during Covid, and when he made correspondent I knew he was going to be huge.
So it's great having Stewart come back occasionally, but they don't really need him, they've got the talent to do a second show like Colbert had back in the day even.
John Stewart communicates a sincerity that the rest of the correspondents and hosts haven't really managed. They mix in a bit too much smugness or something. I find them all fine in small doses, but only John Oliver has really matched those moments where John Stewart looks at the camera and seems to be pleading with ALL of the American people. He had a way of criticizing without being elitist.
Stewart has been doing this for decades, he literally invented it
Everyone else is playing a character, he just goes up there and talks.
Like, obviously they're not the same. They have less experience than Stewart if you added them all up together
I would watch a Jordan Klepper show
They made one and it got canceled - I assume due to low number of viewers
I've always liked the daily show, regardless of host, but I don't really enjoy watching Jordan talk to morons anymore. Shit's too sad and scary now. the whole point is to just make fun of them and laugh and it's just really not as funny anymore
Anyone seen that crackhead Barney on insta? Now that shit is nuts. That's definitely something I'll admit I've found funny. lol
