    Piers just can't understand that people as intelligent as Jon and Seth can work out their own disagreements on their own without making it a national boxing match, and they did. Funny how it's the comedians that end up being the more mature and respecful than the the serious media personalities.

  • @natvasch6399
    @natvasch6399 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1456

    So apparently nobody here knows the story behind it, so I'm just gonna put it out there:
    The thing with the writer's strike was that, unlike other shows Jon was technically in charge of the show, but when it came to the payment they had to work something out with Comedy Central. So he had no Influence on whatsoever; he did run the show after all because of the other employees (camera-men, production assistants and so on). It was a writer's strike, not an everyone-who's-on-the-show strike, but without a show no payment for the other employees. I think Seth's heart was with all the writers over the country, while Jon thought of all the employees on the show. So technically, I think they both have a reasonable point and there is no simple way to solve such a problem. So what happened was, Jon called Seth, explained his point to him, they had a debate, they came to a conclusion, all fine. And then comes Piers and makes a problem out of it... like, seriously dude. They are smart, grown-up men, they can handle it.
    Btw, Seth's teeth are so white they are blinding me XD

But when those people realized that the two of them found a Republican they could love in Trump, everyone involved in the love-in started to look like fools. Even though the signs they were mentally wanting in matters political were there from the start.

    Respect to Seth MacFarlane for maintaining his composure and dignity. It's clear that he really respects Jon Stewart and that, despite disagreeing with Jon, he acknowledges how what he did could be seen as being in the wrong. Great respect for both him and Stewart.
    Piers Morgan on the other hand, fuck him. He was so horrible at his job. Even in this interview, he's just trying to rile Seth up unnecessarily, and create a feud where there doesn't need to be one.

    • @Martial-Mat
      @Martial-Mat 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Personally, I think Stewart is a total hypocrite if his argument was "Who are you to be the moral arbiter" when that's his whole career. Looks to me like Seth was just afraid that Stewart had a better forum for ridiculing him. that makes Stewart a hypocrite AND a bully.

    • @muggedbyapriest
      @muggedbyapriest 9 ปีที่แล้ว +96

      Stewart didn't really make this public though, it was a private conversation between the two of them where Stewart made his opinions known. It would be bullying if he did this publicly on his show and used his fanbase to harass Seth, but that's not what happened. His career IMO isn't to be moral arbiter, but to point out the hypocrisies of those with a voice and influence (the media, the government). He's a satirist, he ridicules. I get where you're coming from, but again IMO, he does a good job, better than most, at managing to be a critic while not having an agenda. That's why he refuses to ever go into politics, because he likes that outsider role.

    It both surprises and disturbs me that Americans(seemingly) don't know this - Piers Morgan has been possibly the most reviled person in Britain for the last 15-20 years. He is loathed by both the right AND the left(which is quite a feat considering), he is regularly used in jokes that require a particularly oily, treacherous character for the punchline and Britain's most august satirical magazine, Private Eye, prints his name as Piers Moron so consistently that earlier in this post I almost typed it myself by mistake.
    To the vast majority of Britons it is both baffling and dismaying that the man has made such a success of himself Stateside in spite of his crimes against good journalism, human decency and general not-being-a-cuntness.

    "It came from a good place, but it's execution was so completely over the line it bordered on ruthlessness" sums up the whole of Seth McFarlane's work in a nut shell. He's a satirist, but he's just not a very smart one. He makes his point, or tries to, by appealing to the lowest common denominator. I like the guy, but at the same time I don't understand the level of importance and power he's achieved. HE seems smarter than the material he puts out. I like him as person better than every show or movie he's ever done combined.

The shows just reinforce the message that cruelty is funny and that childish idiocy is marketable, and is sometimes hurtful to the viewer. How does a girl who gets picked on for her appearance feel watching Meg Griffin constantly being treated like complete shit for no reason except she's chubby and wears glasses, while her stupid and morbidly obese brother is exempt from the same kind of teasing and rejection? Basically, it's parents mentally and emotionally abusing their daughters being played for laughs.

On gun control, he was more or less *in the right*, yet he got a hail-storm of abuse and threats of deportation. Here we see him trying to dig dirt out of a polite and mature McFarlane like the lowest form of pond scum, and in other cases we see Morgan soft-balling puff piece interviews with war criminals and traitors to democracy instead of doing his fucking job and demanding real answers. None of *that* drew flak! Morgan is and always has been a corporate shill, a joke, a Christian when it suits him to be, a smarmy holier than thou walking insult to true journalism.

    Seth handled this interview like such a professional and seems (even more) like a gentleman.

He interrupts Seth all the time, just starts talking about something else completely. In the meantime, he cuts Seth off in the middle of sentences. As well as taking too much focus from his guest. The guest should always be the main subject. Not the host, who should be a good listener, ask well formulated questions (probably follows a script), and a host must come up with good follow up questions. Piers does none of that, just an exceptionally bad host.

    Actually Jon Stewart staying on the air during the writer's strike was the greatest endorsement for the writers, that the writers are crucial to any show including Jon Stewart's which he was the head writer of. The reason it was such a great endorsement was because the show sucked while the writers were on strike and I remember Jon Stewart even poked fun at this fact and gave them his support on his show during the writer's strike. If the writers never came back to his show I would have stopped watching it because it was significantly less funny without them and I suspect I was in the majority with that opinion for those who remember watching his show before and during the writer's strike.

      You are an extremist, just like the terrorists in the Middle East, because you want to kill people who have different views. You're radicalized and unable to have a rational conversation. You're what's wrong with your country, and anybody who isn't extremist, conservative or progressive, would agree.

      Generally pretty much anyone who is able to think agrees with you here, niamh. Its funny how the one talking about a supposed "extreme leftist narrative" is using the word brainwashed.
      Claiming that Jon Stewart is brainwashing people by saying stuff you dont want to hear because it doesnt fit your worldview is kinda ironic, John, considering where your worldview comes from. One look at your profile and the stuff you watch (Lauren Southern, really? Holy shit you are beyond saving) shows us everything we need to know.

      John Allen has just learned more Truth about EVERYONE in hollywood than the rest of you clearly. I'm sure much of his frustration comes from having to speak to people who are sleeping through their life and think their opinions are just as valid as his. No offense, but if you are still a part of the sleeping hive-mind narrative then you should sit back and listen a little more. If you don't realize for a fact that over 95% of individuals in hollywood are broken beyond repair then you are in for a rude awakening.

      ***** I'm a bigger of Jon too but that doesnt make him right. Of, course, we don't know the whole story but it appears at this point insanely hipocritical and ego-driven to call up Seth. Seth even conceded that the joke itself was too far, but stood by his stand point.

    • @jamisonw.327
      @jamisonw.327 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you had actually seen the skit, it was basically Seth calling the writers assholes and Jon who was a big time supporter of the writer strike. Seth's argument: Writers earn 100-200k a year and should be happy with that since that's much higher than the average person, they can still afford pricey cars and other junk, and everyone earns less than their boss. Jon's argument: They're part of multimillion dollar projects and their bosses earn tens of millions of dollars a year, and have the right to request more money since the projects couldn't exist without them.
      You can think what you want and I've tried to leave my views out of my description of it. That being said, Seth is jokingly pompous, and less genuine than Jon in my opinion. In the same way Colbert can't let the satire routine shut down, Seth can't let his hiding behind one-sided hyperbole routine shut down. So, I find them both annoying outside of their shows, but brilliant in them. Jon I just find brilliant virtually every time I see him.
      On a separate note though, I can't blame Seth on this show since it was forced out of him - Everyone has differing views, so why make a big deal out of it Piers? Oh right, because his program is like 80% of other programs like it, a drama whore.

    • @ballsonchin0069
      @ballsonchin0069 ปีที่แล้ว

      Seth is a writer obv, and was looking out for himself and friends, probably threw out Stewart’s name for views. You hit the nail on the head, either he’s incredibly dumb for insulting Jon in the first place then calling him out for the very thing he has been doing for ages (helping the little guy out). Or it was all a ploy, great acting and smart for garnering attention/discussion.

    @bigstudwithaguitar 11 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    You have to think about it this way though. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is the largest (or was at the time) source of news for Americans. Sure, it might be on comedy central, but one could argue that if he were to shut down his show for a writer strike, he can no longer COVER the strike. His time would be better spent reporting on the strike. Also, what if you took down an "actual" news show for the writers' strike? I think this illustrates that Stewart is in a very gray area here. I think Stewart made the right choice.

      Coco Parker-Wilt No, the biggest problem is that shows like the Daily Show and The Colbert Report are the closest thing to news the US has.
      Sure, there are indeed other good sources as well, but many of them of foreign nature, like RT. (Although RT in the US is its own company of course)
      This however is not to say that that makes everything all fair and square, I'm merely commenting on how much the DS is in fact news or at least an extremely important addition to whatever you pick as your news source of the big networks.
