The one that I had is in wonderful hands and continues to elevate in a way that I couldn’t have. And if you’re asking, Do you wish you had a show? Sometimes I do. So I don’t view myself as being out of the conversation: I view myself as not having a show. Sometimes that action can speak more profoundly than a daily monologue. Action is conversation, and I’ve taken more action in the last four or five years than I ever have in my life. I consider a career to be a conversation. I think there are different ways to be in the conversation. Any time Stewart sat across a desk from a Fox News anchor or a pundit who'd spoken ill of The Daily Show in the past, the fireworks were often fun to watch again and again. Indeed, some of the past Daily Show moments that people looked forward to the most were the episodes whenever Jon Stewart would host another outspoken news personality, which would inevitably lead to hilarious (and sometimes truly meaningful) confrontations where volumes and tensions would rise accordingly. Resisting that gravitational force is really hard.
Those moments when you had a tendency, even subconsciously, to feel like, 'We have to live up to the evisceration expectation.' We tried not to give something more spice than it deserved, but you were aware of, say, what went viral. That’s the part of it that I probably most regret. The question was always, Why would you talk to him? Why do you have him on the show if you can’t destroy him? If you want to talk about the worst legacy of The Daily Show, it was probably that.
THE JON STEWARD SHOW MOVIE
Speaking with the New York Times about his new movie Irresistible and other things, Stewart said this about his Daily Show past:Īs things progress, to get the same dopamine hit, you have to push it further. Specifically, Jon Stewart is somewhat rueful of his experiences on The Daily Show when inflammatory guests were brought in and the show fed into showy arguments rather than strictly meaningful dialogues.
