Over the years, one target has taken more sass from Jon Stewart than any other.
And on the poor grunts who toil away thanklessly every Monday through Thursday nights, recapping The Daily Show under ridiculous headlines touting Stewart’s various conquests.
Trump, the billionaire businessman turned Republican Party White House contender, has turn out to be Stewart’s favourite goal as his tenure on the favored Comedy Central program winds down. Fans have been showing up early all week long, hoping to be a part of the final few episodes.
Arby’s, which has been put through the proverbial Stewart meat grinder nearly more than Fox News and CNN over the years, has created two advertisements to air during Thursday’s series finale, special goodbye messages to the outgoing host. If those who have watched the show have seen him walk on water, please let me know. It concludes with the tagline “not sure why, but we’ll miss you“.
That list included Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrell, Olivia Munn and John Oliver.
While it’s clear Stewart is a liberal working in the liberal media, he should be championed for his ability to ask tough and uncomfortable questions and address topics most Americans don’t want to talk about.
