I swear to God I meant to send out an email with this title since Wednesday morning and then I see those rat bastards at The Atlantic put out out an article with the same theme. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/03/why-we-still-miss-jon-stewart/426840/?utm_source=SFFB It's just with the Iowa Caucus it is obvious The Daily Show isn't delivering to Stewart's level. It is not appointment TV. Election night in November will be the show's Super Bowl but the Iowa Caucus is a playoff game but the show seemed so routine. No memorable jokes or observations. The article claims the writing is still good but I disagree. Contributors are starting to suck. Was there a significance to Lewis Black appearing on The Nightly Show Tuesday night? The article refers to a nice comeback Stewart had for Elizabeth Warren. On Monday Noah interviewed the Girls Who Code leader when she boasted getting more females to write computer code was the most important social issue of our time. Really? More important than poverty, mass incarceration, a dissolving middle class or public health? Stewart would have had a good come back. Noah let it lay there. I am annoyed by Noah laughing at his own jokes, which he held in check Monday and Tuesday but it returned in full force on Wednesday. The article points out Stewart evolved into his personna. The streaming of all The Daily Show episodes prior to his departure showed that was true. It's just with these benchmark events I want to see more promise out of Noah.
