<p>Just as funny as the Daily Show. For the record I find the Daily Show to be bad TV. </p><p>I do want that shirt though, the 'Don't tell mama I'm for Obama'. </p>

<font color="Navy"><font size="2">That was way too stuffy and forced to resemble the Daily Show. The format was more like a conservative Weekend Update. The set looked inspired by the Daily Show. That was the closest resemblance, IMO.</font></font>

Not once while viewing that did I chuckle. </p><p>Yes I am a Republican, but I don't like bad TV. The Daily Show, as well asthis right wing rip off of the daily show are bad TV to me. </p>

id watch this show if it was as smart as the daily show but unfortunately it's not in the same galaxy

[FMJeff]

<p>The Daily Show&nbsp;is political &amp; media satire at its best. It's genius, not because of the partisan politics, but because of the content. It is hilarious. </p><p>Anyone who looks to Daily Show for an opinion or real fact is obviously weak minded anyway and would find it somewhere else. </p><p>The political agenda is not new. The media covers politics, Stewart mocks the media. </p>

You have to remember most comedians make fun of whatever current administartion we have. When Clinton was president and Gore was running for president they killed&nbsp; the democrates and now its the republicans turn. You also cant blame&nbsp;Stewart, its so easy to do with Bush as president and all the shit he has said and done.</p>

[keithy_19]

<p>I think it's Jon Stewarts blatant smugness, the &quot;I'm smarter than you&quot; perception he gives off that makes me turn off the TV when he comes on. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>EDIT: Him being smug is my opinion and take on him. I am by no means trying to say he comes off this way to every viewer of his show. This has been paid for by Keithy_19. </p>

[keithy_19]

<p>The jokes go over my head...ok. Sure. Just because I'm younger, not that young really, doesn't mean his jokes are too smart for me. </p><p>And yeah, you do bring a good point up. It's like this, would you really enjoy a show that was constantly ripping your views, with an audience cheering at every point? I bet you'd turn it off too. </p>

[legroommusic]

I'm sure the ratio of viewers of this show to the daily show will be the inverse of listeners to wabc(conservative radio) vs. air america. Actually I think that the show will do better than air america with percentage of ratings, though air america will last longer.

[Yerdaddy]

<p>I feel the same about this percieved war between the ideologies as I do about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict - I'm tired of both of their shit. </p><p>Having said that I'd put the Daily Show's record of getting their facts right up against Fox &quot;News'&quot; record any day. And given the often-cited/often-ignored point Jon Stewart makes - that their goal is to go after people in power doing stupid shit -&nbsp;how could they not have gone after the republicans more over the last six years? Given that mandate I don't consider it liberal&nbsp;biased at all. I sure has hell haven't seen anyone make a serious evidence-based case that it is - just alot of pissing and moaning by people who have their own biases.</p>

<p>Since I am one of the few hardcore right wingers here I'll chime in on this:</p><p>Started off amusing but the BO mag thing went on for way too long.&nbsp;</p>

[DarkHippie]

I thought it was&nbsp;sorta funny.&nbsp; I loved the stiff banter between the two anchors and the awful awful laugh track.&nbsp;&nbsp; The material wasnt that bad either.&nbsp; It felt more like weekend update than the daily show

I'm just trying to figure out if I should make jokes about the cigar or if that is the joke.........

<p>&nbsp;WOW</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I guess you lose the ability to be funny when you become a conservative</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
