“What Am I, A Cheech And Chong Movie?”
Transcript of Jon Stewart’s appearence on the O’Reilly Factor, here. (First noticed on Wonkette.) Does exactly what it says on the box. Includes stunning revelations about guests’ snack provisions.
According to O’Reilly, 87% of people who watch the Daily Show are intoxicated. I don’t think there’s necessarily any causation there, though. I find it more credible to believe that 87% of people are intoxicated by 11 PM. It’s certainly the case in my neighborhood.
Commenting on my own post again; here’s Jack Shafer in Slate. It’s patronizing (“as reactive as a 4-year-old child in need of a nap”) but captures some part of the reason why I can’t hate him. Contrast with insufferable flag-waving cheeseball Sean Hannity.
Stewart shows exactly how to handle O’Reilly: don’t take him too seriously and don’t take yourself too seriously. Best line: “We come on right after, I believe, puppets that make crank calls…” He had the guy eating out of his hand, to judge by the transcript. (No, I don’t watch the Factor.)
I think the Daily Show is becoming a victim of its own success, sadly, but they still manage a handful of genius bits every week. The Alec Baldwin interview was priceless.
The three most powerful people next to George W. Bush, according to Bill O’Reilly:
John Kerry
John McCain
Bill O’Reilly
