Jon Stewart Calls Life After ‘Daily Show’ a ‘Barren Wasteland’ During Emmy

The show will also remain interested in Washington politics, as evidenced by the booking of New Jersey governor and Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie next Wednesday. “Comedy Central blessed me with this and these people did all the work”, Stewart said. This is the first applause I’ve heard. I regret not learning from them if I have made them.

Which brings up the idea of whether a comic from somewhere else is the best person to head up the premiere satirical news show in America. They’re very quickly going to develop their own style for it. “To everybody on television, I just want to tell you cling to it as long as you can”, he joked.

“The only thing that separates women of color from anybody else is opportunity”, said Davis during her acceptance speech.

Of course, Noah had, but there was little to be discussed that he did not find trivial, to say the least.

A black South African, her relationship to Noah’s white Swiss father was illegal during apartheid. “I think I will talk to him before the launch of the show to seek some advice and wisdom, which he has a lot of, and I would be happy to do that!”

“I’m not at that stage yet”, Noah said with a laugh. Then again, if either The Colbert Report or The Late Show with David Letterman had won, no one would have been surprised, either.

I would imagine there has been something of a different vibe at the standup shows Noah has performed since the announcement last March that he would be taking over The Daily Show.

Before the awards began, HBO’s host Oliver spoke to Variety on the Emmys red carpet, explaining that he’d be more than happy for Stewart to beat him in the who’s-who-of-late-night category.

“These people, I love desperately”.

‘Can never escape offending a human being’

. “So, you know, obviously that was something I did when I was really young and stupid…” “But you can never escape offending a human being”. “I think it was more ‘Let’s enjoy each other’s company, do the best shows we can, and push to the end.’ I don’t think we even reflected on it too much until after [Bruce Springsteen played] ‘Born to Run.’ Then we all sort of looked at each other”.

“No I wouldn’t (come back)”.

If you’re still catching up on shows that aired their season finale this year, be warned: the video montage will destroy your laborious hours of TV binging, and will make you wonder if your noble attempt to finish the show in a week was all for nothing.
