I am a tremendous fan of JOn stewart, and his show has affected me tremendously.
But he has a lot of unfunny moments. My biggest grip is his overreliance on swear words or gravely voiced repeating-what-was-just-said-from-footage imitation is stupid. His bush and cheney imitations are awesome tho.
And when he is funny - which at least there is more such moments than noobs like conan or leno - he is tremendously funny. Of course, hats off to writesr for that. Altho he is also a writer. Also, he's the second most influential person on my unfortunate psyche.
Colbert was funny in 2006. Now i cant stand his 30min of non humor. The audience, far far more than Jon's audiecne, is like Gaffers - tripping over themselves laffing at whatever stupid thing the host does. lame.
