(Newser) – In anticipation of his visit with Jon Stewart on tonight’s Daily Show, an admittedly “nervous” Jim Cramer sought counsel today from another Stewart—Martha. “You should be nervous,” the lifestyle maven said on her syndicated show. “He’s fast as lightning.” The Mad Money host joked that the feud has elevated his profile at home, reports the Los Angeles Times. “My kids only know I have a show because Jon Stewart is skewering me.”

Said Martha (no relation) of the hotly anticipated CNBC-Comedy Central faceoff: “I can’t wait to see this. Oh, boy.”

This is going to be soooo much fun to watch as Cramer is in the hot seat.

Cramer just needs to be honest and own up to his mistakes. No one expects any human being to be 100% correct all the time. He should just say he's as good as the information he had at the time, just like everyone else. Being "part of the herd" is always good.

Stewart and Cramer are in cahoots. Laughing all the way to the bank. I can tell you with certainty there will be a sequel or two to this one. Even Martha wants her photo op.

Stewart: Does Obama 'Get It'?

And what is 'it,' anyway?

(NEWSER) - Jon Stewart has noticed a recurring theme in the coverage of the president’s post-election press conference: The pundits are all eager to know if Barack Obama "gets it," he explained on last night’s Daily Show in a segment titled "The Mourning After." But they’re less than clear on what "it" is. “I mean, as pronouns go, ‘it’ is amongst the vaguest,” Stewart pointed out. “‘It’ won’t even choose a sex.” More»

Give Conan's NBC Show an Emmy: TBS

New network launches tongue-in-cheek campaign for old network

(NEWSER) - Conan O'Brien's network wants him nominated for an Emmy Award—for a show that aired on another network. TBS, where the late-night host/martyr's latest effort will debut in November, is running "for your consideration" ads touting The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien, which crashed and burned on NBC. "Conan’s great work in 2009 and 2010 deserves Emmy consideration,” Turner Entertainment Networks' president tells Entertainment Weekly —in a statement, so we don't know whether he was able to say it with a straight face.

Sandler to Conan: NBC Fired Me, Too

O'Brien-NBC deal said to be $45 million; tomorrow's his last Tonight Show

(NEWSER) - NBC and Conan O’Brien reached a pricey divorce early today, but that didn’t slow the Tonight Show host's relentless tirade against the network last night. A constant stream of monologue disses wasn’t enough, so O’Brien unveiled his latest revenge scheme: Waste as much of the network’s money as possible (watch full episode here ). Guest Adam Sandler then offered up his own story of being fired by NBC (watch in the gallery, along with other clips including Jay Leno bashing David Letterman’s married life and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's two cents).

Logical Next Stop for Conan: Comedy Central

Stewart-Colbert-O'Brien lineup would be a win-win-win situation

(NEWSER) - Conan O'Brien is about to go back on the market—but the late night talk show market is full. "ABC has already said it's not interested in hiring him," writes Patrick Goldstein. "HBO isn't prepared to get into the late-night talk show racket. And Fox has a lot of issues to overcome, starting with a huge lack of enthusiasm from its affiliates." His logical destination: Comedy Central. More»

Stewart: So Much for 60 Votes

Daily Show rips Democrats for public option failure.

(NEWSER) - When Democrats took over Congress in 2006, they did… well, basically nothing. But all that was supposed to change when they got their unstoppable 60-vote "super majority," right? Jon Stewart sure thought so. “They’d be like a bear with chainsaws instead of paws!” he cried. So why did two attempts to get a public option out of the Senate Finance Committee fail? More»
