(Newser) – Republicans who rallied against the health care bill used everything from a picture of a Nazi concentration camp to a baby to make their point, and none of it got by Jon Stewart. When Michele Bachmann used a lei brought to her by Hawaiian constituents... Read full story »

Stewart Catches Hannity Faking Video Footage

'If I didn't know better, I'd think they put two different days together'

(NEWSER) - Sean Hannity should know by now that Jon Stewart will go to the tape. The Daily Show host caught Hannity using old footage—from Glenn Beck’s 9/12 rally, no less—to make Thursday’s anti-health care bill rally appear to have, as Michele Bachmann and Hannity claimed, 20,000 to 45,000 attendees. The Washington Post reported the number to be closer to 10,000. Watch the video above. More»

Stewart Takes on McChrystal

'You’re with I’ll Never Print This magazine, right?'

(NEWSER) - When Stanley McChrystal ill-advisedly referred to National Security Adviser Jim Jones as a “clown who's stuck in 1985,” at least some good came of it: It inspired Jon Stewart ’s impression, last night, of a clown stuck in 1985. After tackling the McChrystal mess, Stewart again hit new-favorite-target President Obama—specifically, the criticism he’s taking over playing golf seven times since the Gulf oil spill crisis began.

Stewart's Rent-Boy Scandal Fix: Put a Dome on It!

Then finds a way to connect it to George Rekers' penis

(NEWSER) - So much is going on in the world right now that Jon Stewart didn’t know where to start last night on the Daily Show —so he covered it all, from “wanna-bomber” Faisal Shahzad to Greece’s financial crisis. But the best part of his round-the-news tour comes at 5:35, when he illustrates the silliness of the Gulf Coast oil spill containment dome via a demo that uses some Diet Coke, Mentos, and a pot on a fishing pole. Then, 2 minutes later, he uses the same pot in an attempt to cap rent-boy-loving George Rekers’ penis. More»

Arizona the 'Meth Lab of Democracy': Stewart

And how about that birther bill, and the concealed weapons, and the.....

(NEWSER) - Hey, Arizona, Jon Stewart has news for you: Tom Tancredo thinks your immigration bill goes too far…and that means you have a problem. This is Tom Tancredo, after all—“the guy who called Miami a third world country and said the Minutemen border patrol aren’t vigilantes, they’re heroes. The man Mexican parents tell their kids about to get them to eat their vegetables,” Stewart railed on last night’s Daily Show . More»

Tracy Gives Jon Ridiculous Nickname

Morgan can't focus on a topic for more than 30 seconds

(NEWSER) - If Tracy Morgan’s interview on last night’s Daily Show is any indication, the actor is a lot like his 30 Rock character. His appearance, though ostensibly to promote his new movie, Death at a Funeral, instead centered around a $75 debt owed to him by Tobey Maguire. Morgan, however, took quite a few conversational detours, touching on Tiger Woods (like Jim Carrey , he thinks Elin knew) and bestowing a hilarious new nickname on Stewart—to find out what it is, jump to 5:22 in the video.
