Magnificent- and Jon Stewart has his own schtick down, but really isn't an actor. Put he absolutely nailed Glenn Beck. And a lot of credit to the writing staff. TDS has had some great shows since that weeks vacation in mid-October. I only wish they would have answered whether or not Glenn Beck raped and killed that teenaged girl back in the 1990s. I don't beleive Beck did rape and kill...

Shit he's a funny guy. Half the time I don't know what he's talking about, most of the time I don't care about what he's talking about but nearly every time I see him he is laugh out loud funny.

Well, I guess I'll have to participate, seeing as I'm a little late for the 10/31 Project .

Wow - that really showcases his underused acting skills. He didn't crack up once (although it looked like maybe he was on the verge of it more than a few times, maybe that was just part of the act.) It was jaw-dropping how spot-on that was. Of course, as often as he has to watch that tool, it's probably second nature by now.

Well, first you have to be familiar with the insanity that is Glenn Beck. Stewart does a brilliant parody of Beck's ravings. It's also on Hulu - can you get that?

More alarming than his shock-jock career- if only to me- is that he came to Fox from CNN. Again- this is a man with NO journalistic training who makes no pretenses of being a journalist, in fact vehemently denies it, and in fact never completed a college class, and yet he had a show on CNN. Between him, Nancy Grace, Lou Dobbs, and Jane Velez Mitchell I think I know why they go by the acronym: no announcer could say "We're Cable...
