Jon Stewart: How the Fake Newsman Won Over America

- Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- BLOOMBERG GAME CHANGERS profiles Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz, now Jon Stewart, from his New Jersey boyhood through the standard struggle of the stand-up comedian - part time jobs and late night gigs at New York's comedy clubs. It will shine a spotlight on his early television shows and movies, including rare video from his early career, to show his transformation into the dominant American commentator of our time. (Source: Bloomberg)
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report was the best hour of television.
Colbert has sold out to money and fame
Them leaving was like the dam breaking that was holding back all the raw sewage that came pouring into public discourse.
😮@@astrumrimor2450
Yeah, but Stewart is more talented than Colbert. Jon has not lost the trust of his audience. He is the same today, but he has a lot more to say. John Oliver again is more a desperate british version of Steward. He tries to hard and is lacking trust. Jon Stewart is smart, funny and has the originality that the others are lacking. They are trying to be like him, but they are nothing close to his talent.
The qualities that would make him the ideal presidential candidate are the same qualities that would prevent Bloomberg from supporting a Stewart run. A fella can dream.
The best thing about Jon Stewart is he knows when to pause. He knows when silence is the best response. Just looks at the camera with blinks or a shocked face. I miss that so much.
Ironically, I'm old enough to remember the last newsman who was able to do that...Walter Cronkite. Line up his clips with anyone since 1981,
He's back Mondays beginning Feb. 12th on The Daily Show, until after the November election and beyond. I can't wait. And will be executive producer indefinitely.
Jon Stewart is one of America’s truest Citizens, and We are lucky to have him.
Where lucky.
Man..... we could really use a Jon Stewart in 2020. Miss that guy.
I agree, the closest thing we have is Last Week Tonight, but that is not the machine gun the Daily Show at its prime was. It digs deeply at only one topic and does not respond on a daily pace. No one could match Jon Stewart at what he did.
I love John, bit I think Trevor has really grown into his role and also made it gotta own. Still, it's such a treat to see John's appearances. And we should all be grateful for what he's done for comedy, news, and politics. A true American hero! Thanks, John!
I think the new Jon is Hissan Minhaj
2020 alone would force him to retire lol
Haha well he’s popped back up again!
So glad he's back on The Daily Show even for only one night a week. What a treasure.
The GOAT. I feel privileged that I was awake and watching during the Jon Stewart years.
The fact that he told Tucker Carlson "I'm not your monkey" makes me love Jon even more 🥳🧡
The timing though. Salute!!
Have you watched the whole show of that crossfire? It’s worth it for sure! He tears him up
@@c-rexintellect9722 Is it here on y.t.?
@@kkrolf2782 I’m sure
I wish Stewart's wit and intelligence literally cut... Tucker is the most despicable people I have ever seen.
They kept calling him a fake news journalist, what did I miss? I've learned more from Jon than I have from most people on CNN or NBC, the only difference is that he makes you laugh while News Stations take the opposite approach. My generation didn't have a voice to speak up for us like decades past, Jon filled that void.
Because it's f*cking Bloomberg.
Yeah, a choice between unfunny rabid socialism and aggressive rabid socialism, what a choice!
@@wideseen socialism is such an overloaded term, but if you are going by the traditional definition, I can't say I've heard Jon talk much about collectivising the means of production.
@@zyansheep I would not use the term "overloaded" but the term "evolved". Socialism was invented containing the collectivising of production means ... but as all human inventions it evolves with the times. If you compare the first b/w tube TV with an LED 1mm TV today you would not call the term TV overloaded, would you? It just evolved.
Socialism is what it is today by those defining themselves as socialists. I grant you a new term has been put forward for the most crazed out zombies: woke. And Steward is a modern day socialist but not the woke variant.
@@wideseenyou’re a socialist.. Read Government 101, did you accept the $2,000 Covid funds ? Are the taxes you pay used to pay for road repairs, libraries, and schools ?
Jon Stewart is a national treasure.
Of which country? Iran? Qatar? Obamastan?
Jon Stewart should get a nobel prize for calling out the bullshitters.
And some kind of prize for his "Go fuck yourself" performance.
He’s a great American! Witty intellectual, devoid of hypocrisy. We need his voice NOW, more than ever!
I'm from India and started watching clips from The Daily Show with John Stewart online back in 2003 and watched it ever since. I learned so much about American politics thanks to the Daily Show, much more than watching mainstream US news.
He is political comic that checks the facts BETTER than the real news thats why he is hilarious and liked.
It seems to me he has a way of cutting through all the crap with humor. Love him.
and beautiful. he's beautiful too.
I love that you called them "real news" such a decent oxy moron.
Bruce Bosco No, it's because he LIES and then says "I'M JUST A COMEDIAN!" to pretend like he wasn't being serious about his claims of FACT, when he clearly was.
That's why only FOOLS like Stewart.
Lol, loving these angry backward Trumptards.
I'm surprised they didn't go into more detail about how Jon Stewart has been a "king maker" of top talent. So many of his pundits have gone on to super-stardom and critical success from his show. Colbert was just one example - John Oliver, Larry Wilmore, Olivia Munn, Steve Carell, Rob Corddry, Aasif Mandvi, Ed Helms and on, and on and on... The man has the golden touch for finding and nurturing talent!
Olivia munn is not one of his talents. She was poached off of G4 from Attack of the Show and had a very large following on the internet. Jon took her away from the station right before it went fully under. Adam Sessler is still missing.
Many of those were great talents prior to TDS, to be fair. He may have helped them but they may also have gone on to bigger things without him
Homemadegameguru Samantha Bee
And don't forget that snowman from Frozen. :D
How can you omit Colbert? Jason Jones & Sam Bee? Trevor Noah? Jordan Klepper? The list goes on...
This is just an honest man, doing a thing that his heart tells him to do. No lying to others. No lying to himself. Just a smart, honest man naming what he sees.
I am a conservative, and even though I often disagree with Stewart's take on things, I still love him. He is HILARIOUS and his commentary nearly always nails it. He doesn't hesitate to point out lunacy wherever he sees it - on the left or the right side of the aisle.
I appreciate that...
It's just that the right is such an easy target.
@@smwrbd no one on the right is funny cause their humor involves others getting hurt.
😐

I’d love if it could be that way again. Problem is that the lunacy has overtaken the entire conservo-GOP electorate.

Where’s Jon Stewart when we need him the most???
He left to pay sol attention on 9/11 first responders who were in need of support from the country they served on that day and are being denied healthcare and other supportive entities. He spoke in congress and got them what they needed and had to go back to fight to continue the support instead of letting the help expire. These 9/11 first responders are dying bc they were the first responders where toxic fumes, smoke, dust particles of left over human remains and exploded towers particulates. I stand for whatever Jon decides is the best use of his time. Integrity personified
Sole*
I miss your guidance and spirit during these hard times. We need you John.
Jon Stewart never once claimed to be a "Newsman" he's a political satirist and commentator who quite expertly uses humor to expose the stupidity and hypocrisy of politicians. The thing that makes Stewarts satire work so well is that there's always a strong grain of truth running through it!
We need someone like Stewart who can think and Express on their feet and not let success go to greed.
Exactly
John had the Will Rodgers' comedy process. "I don't make jokes. I just watched the government and report the facts."
He also exposes MSM
And when you compare him to the mainstream media, it shows what a joke they are (media that is 😀).
Jon Stewart is a legend, A LEGEND!!
If you have a negative IQ.
That's where I came to see......He's exactly where he ought to be!
What makes John Stewart compelling and influential isn’t his sharp wit, there are lots of witty people. It isn’t his inherent sense of how to be convincing, there are lots of salesmen. It isn’t that he is a comedy genius. There are lots of funny people. It is his overwhelming decency, that has formed into a system of unshakable ethics. Put it together and you find someone who cuts through the noise, is heard, and once heard you want to trust the message. If you aren’t fundamentalist in your belief system, then you will consider what he has to say. Don’t agree with everything he says... but listen to him. His opinion is important.
oh man.... i miss him so much : (.. he is easily my best one side friendship lol
:D :D mine too
Nothing but admiration for Jon Stewart!
Stewart's ability to take down those who spout BS on all sides is an entertaining and constant comfort. Not surprising he is one of the most trusted voices out there.
I submit that Jon Stewart should be the first Jewish president of the USA. Sure, he'll piss people off, but he'll be honest. And that's a more important way to present the country to the world. And he's funny, which the world rather needs.
I agree but I still think Bernie sanders should be the first Jewish president.
Liberals always elect clowns? Oh, you mean like than clown george w bush???
***** Yeah, I see what you mean; Kennedy was a clown; Carter was a clown. Kennedy's brother would've been a clown. Very astute.
What's funny about your comment id that you think honesty is an attribute desireable in government service.....quite the contrary is true......are you 12 years old?
I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. Have you ever seen him in a debate or unscripted? If nothing else, he's probably more intelligent than our last 3 presidents combined. The fact that he has some form of connection to the "common man", and an actual sense of humor doesn't hurt either.
We need John Stewart back now more than ever before. Stewart for President of Earth
Wasserman-enough said stupid.
Ben Wasserman
that is the job for the Jar Head of Nixon
nope, presidency is fucked up, one up for parliamemtary prime minister
Why not? If you're stupid enough to think Socialism works, you're dumb enough to accept Stewart getting RICH by preaching state-imposed economic equality.
big respect for jon stewart from Egypt , we love you man , keep up great work.
0:57 "He's become one of the people who keep you honest" - Brian Williams.
Ricky Gervais recommended John Oliver for Jon Stewart for the Daily Show
"I told him that when our spaceship was shot down over Mercury" -Brian Williams
I love this guy why did he really leave, who got to him, how did they scare him away.
However he is not very smart, witty or funny away from the desk, just saying.
You don't know what you're talking about.Nobody scared him,he was just tired.Also,he's smarter than literally anybody on tv.Even smarter than Colbert or Maher.
its not fake news... its satire. huge difference and why it worked so well.
Cool input
If HE'S the one calling it "Fake News" I think we can allow it.
This is who they are minus a few.
Why does being satire make it effective? Maybe in the UK, but in the US this is received by many as snide and unfair, especially younger Americans. Satire is just calumny wrapped in plausible deniability, with a side of smugness. Serious charges require evidence, not a clever turn of phrase, and deserve a jury not bored without a laugh track. If you disagree, you obviously missed my satire. Just kidding...maybe.
He's a "fake newsman", not a "fake news" man.
Thanks for this reminder of Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. His comedy was a refuge of sanity for me during the Bush II years, and to see him in a recent interview also reminds me that his success on the Daily Show reflects how many Americans are still sane.
To be honest, switching over from watching Fox News to The Daily Show has made me smarter. I can't believe I used to watch Fox News, but in my defense, I was in middle school and didn't know any better.
Idiots he's never claimed to be a newsman ,he's a comedian and talk show host.
@@paulbrothers4495 the fact that he does a better job than them should tell you something.
Same
@@paulbrothers4495 So it makes you wonder why he knows more than the actual politicians. He's either smarter than them or they are not as smart as they need to be. Which one do you think it is?
Love the honesty. If only the majority of foxdrones would do the same
EXCELLENT PRODUCTION! Thank you.
I love the ''No... no, i'm not gonna be your monkey'' It gets me every time. (17:46)
We need more John Stewarts in this world.
Jon Stewart is a genius, if you watch him for news and believe his political opinion is what makes him smart (or dumb, if you are really so base) then you'd be incomprehensibly misinformed. Stewart handles debates so adeptly, you can tell his brain is consistently analyzing everything said. He is able to process a lot of information and retort with nothing but amazing statements that control the debate, while still completely disarming the previous statement. His true genius only shows in his interviews at the end of the shows or with other networks
I would marry this man tomorrow. No questions asked.
loveandlucky3 umm... I happen to be his black cousin....
Marcus Blaze Very smooth, Marcus.
loveandlucky3 hey you can't fault a bloke for trying when you're so fine
Marcus Blaze Haha, cute!
loveandlucky3
;-) I got equally good looks albeit on a black template not white, not that rich but at the exact point where he was circa 1994 when he couldn't hold down a job, I'm deep politically and comically... what more could a pretty girl like you ask for I can't give?
Not only that, but he jump started 2 other shows:
The Colbert Report
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
He'slike a male, White, Jewish Oprah!
Blank space videos
Andrew Yates
And The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.
AND (again) Full Frontal with Samantha Bee - the best of the lot!
Colbert and John Oliver are fake news. They are SJW ideologues
Jon Stewart
One of my favorite show hosts/ comedians ever...
Get the real news from John Stewart
Get the comedy of lies from Fox news
Yeah, and the other networks are so great, especially MSNBC.
***** Why do you care he changed his name?
Alrighty then.
***** I happen to agree with that criticism. On a surface level I like the show very much, but I deeply dislike that the show ultimately serves to deactivate the viewer. Instead of urging viewers to get involved the show generally invites us to shrug our shoulders and go 'o those silly politicians/pundits, good thing I'm not that stupid'.
He has no responsibility in that regard, I just think it's important to realise he's more a part of the establishment than a threat to it (currently). I think the US media scene is better off wíth the Daily Show in it; I've personally gotten tired of it and the pacifying tendencies of the show. Fair enough?
He's an important voice in our culture!!!
He is the check and balance ppl wanted in the media
Who gives a toss abt mediating the media, umm, shouldn't it be the bolloticians you need to reign in? oaft.
@@scattycat7271 67
It breaks my heart missing him so much. Not a single word could explain how much appreciation I have for this man. THE ONLY TRUE MAN IN TELEVISION!
Mr. Stewart, you are gone but not forgotten...
Seeing how he struggled to become who he is only makes me appreciate him even more. I'm not even a US citizen, but I think he was a national treasure. Don't know where he went though.
he has q podcast now,you can find him on youtube
He’s back on the Daily Show!
Jon Stewart is one of the most honest people on TV.
I miss John Stewart! He was the whole reason I began paying attention to politics and registered to vote. Thank you so much for just being you! I love that he snagged Tucker Carlson, one of my favorite shows
Stewart was the best!! Never missed a show!
Wouldn't a fake newsman deliver fake news? John tells factual stories that I didn't know about. That's what a newsman does..
It's like saying a teacher that also tells jokes is a fake teacher.
mostmelon Jon initially DOES give you correct and factual information. The reason he portrays it as a fake news show (quite fairly to boot) is because AFTER that he injects both humor into the situation and usually his opinion on the subject at hand unabashedly.
IN THEORY, a journalist should never make light of a serious news event, and most certainly should refrain from EVER injecting their personal opinion into the matter, thus ruining objectivity.
The irony is with networks like MSNBC, CNN, and the worst offender of all FOX NEWS that happens all the time and they portend to be giving the viewer unbiased news. Stewart at least gives you the unbiased news first with the mutual understanding with his audience that his opinions will follow.
So IN THEORY yes, Stewart is a pseudo newscaster delivering an intentionally biased news show. But in PRACTICE due to the failings of the mainstream media and the ethics guiding Stewart and his writers, his "fake news" is one of the most trustworthy places to find the truth in the mainstream to date.
...kind of depressing, yes?
TymeTwyster Last I mostly disagree. Jon is biased and untrustworthy and hides under the mask of comedy. He omits parts of real news stories to make Democrats look good and Republicans look evil. Jon is dishonest in that way and definitely not credible. FOX does make mention that their prime time shows are Opinion shows. We know where their Opinion lean, however at least the have the decency to bring on Democrats on every show everyday to share their opinion.
Taaza 2
It always seemed more like they did it to blast them with hostility, like to always make them seem like a minority with like half a dozen other people barking over them. When Jon invites a Republican, he's usually very civil with them.
Taaza 2 If the news media was doing their jobs properly, I'd watch it more often. Now I just get my news from Jon and from source online where at least I could do my own research and fact check rather than hearing a one sided story. You said "Jon is biased and untrustworthy..." sure that's your opinion and you have the right to it. "He omits parts of real news stories to make Democrats look good and Republicans look evil." Oh really...? Do you have reliable sources to support your statement? If you don't have it, then it's just another opinion of yours. I've seen Jon bash Democrats before on the show as well and not just politician but also big corporations anything that they are doing that is news worthy is brought out unfiltered (with a few bleeps of colorful words) followed by his opinion. For a fake news show, he/his team's facts cross checking skills is a hell lot more accurate then most major news media who has more staff and a bigger budget to work with. When it comes to news worthy subjects... He and his small team proved over the years that they did a better job (with limited resources and staff members) than all the other major news media combined.
Taaza 2 You're clearly an idiot and should stop posting things to make yourself look more stupid.
You can tell this is Bloomberg! They didn't talk about how he help NY first responders, get their benefits from the city and congress! He kicked their asses !!!!
yes, that was a shocking omission
theatheistfundamenta
Where is John Stewart when we need him most!
I am corrected it is Jon not John. Haha.
He NEEDS to make a return!!! The True voice of the people....we NEED him in these dark times! those were the days tho... Stewart, Colbert and Carrell
I miss Jon Stewart. We need Jon Stewart. The country got dumber when he left the airwaves.
JONNNNN!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU??????????
He's back, but only on Mondays!
Jon come back to us...in one form or another. 'Merica needs your voice!
On HBO in 2017 ;). Animated satire show
John Stewart was the most Honest Media you could find.
I don't know if this was broadcast on TV, but it's really good of Bloomberg to stick the whole thing up here for us to watch.
love him or hate him, you gotta respect the man. I ran into him in the 90's by the comedy cellar. Good man.
Best quote ever: Brian Williams ~ "I consider him a branch of g'ment"
I hope Jon runs for president when he gets older. We can use a smart left wing guy like him. America needs Jon Steward! He will be missed. I will give Bernie my vote for the next 8 years.
Johnsen1972 I was totally thinking the same thing towards the end of this piece! I like Bernie. He's consistent I'll give him that but I'm not an American so it doesn't matter. But Jon? There's a guy who knows his stuff... for real! Seems like the most logical step for him is president but I don't think he ever will. He'd rather keep 'em honest!
Achilleskneel Clearly by today's standards you don't have to know how to run anything correctly to run the country. lol
You just know someone's smart when Ricky Gervais says so
im 15 and just started watching the daily show and i wish i had herd about it earlier, my family isnt very political, now i can be aware of whats going on in the word without having to listen to idiots, Jon is just perfect and Ever since I've watched his first show I havent missed a episode(can thank my DVR for that)
"he's one of the people who keeps you honest"
Brian Williams
Still and always miss him! He was (is) the greatest!
The Legendary Jon Stewart! Welcome back to Comedy Central and The Daily Show
Amen, Amen, Amen🎉🎉🎉
Man I miss Jon and his Daily Show !! Wish he'd come back !
It’s coming!
@@gregmoessner3104 Oh so i hear !!!
I seriously miss him. the daily show was an incredible show with him at the helm and I genuinely miss his take on this insane world :)
I miss u Jon. What are u doing now
The hardest part is, initiating the conversation. Hello🤠
I find Jon Stewart to be one of the smartest funniest people we've ever had come out of this country.
I miss John Stewart, he was the best.
That was a pleasure to watch.
THIS IS A GUY WHO LITERALLY NEVER GAVE UP. Jesus christ so many cancellations and finally the world converged where it should have and nothing could beat this. Rest as we know is history.
Razor sharp describes the man perfectly I misses him🦋❤
Wish he still had his show. We really need him now more than ever. Come back Jon!!!
As a Canadian Jon Stewart is my trusted American news source!
"He's one of the people who'll keep you honest."
Said by Brian Williams in the first minute.
Jon is a National Treasure!
Thank you, Jon's mom, for the product.
"You were not elected."!!!!!
Miss Jon Stewart!
Who holds the media accountable for their reporting? Jon and Stephen... the 5th branch of government.
*underrated comment.
@N Satheesan you’re completely dumb to compare Stephen Colbert now to when he was hosting the Colbert Report and I say that because of the way you stated your comment. He sucks now because he sold out for a bigger pay cheque, but when he was doing the Colbert Report he was one of the best comedian reporters and 2nd only to Jon.
@@jasonthompson318 have you SEEN Colbert's Late Show?
Definitely one of my favorites he
and George Carlin.They have a
way of making the serious
Intellectually funny but making
you think at the same time.
I totally miss his reports on the daily news! His honesty is unmatched! And now I hear his apple program has ended, Americas is the worst for our loss.
ppl discussing politics below...bleh. Jon Stewart is the only person i'd ever watch from american tv. rolling news channels everywhere are a joke. if you want to really find out about the ludicrous decisions, taken in your name, by those in power, you have to turn to the satirists. and Stewart is one of the best. satire keeps you honest. it's no surprise that the among first ppl to suffer in any dictatorship are the satirists and comedians. and for all you fellow brits, he's as good as Peter Cook ever was.
***** 1. It's not that Stewart gives the news a liberal bias. Reality itself has a liberal bias. If you want conservative bias, you need less reality and more fantasy.
2. Stewart fact-checks his news from more sources than your so-called news. And that's both hilarious and more than a little worrying.
***** I watch Jon because I don't have the time to spend watching all the BS. I leave it to Jon and his crew to do that, and point out the BS that's going on.
Mr. R 7
He paved the way for last week tonight
I am from Lawrence NJ, It's like a thing here that you tell people Jon Stewart went to High School where you went.
He also went to school with my father.
He's not a fake news man! He portrays the real news with a satirical and witty viewpoint. He also does have an opinion, which I think he did not hide
even if you don't share his political views: you've gotta admit that he's one of the best comedians of all times.
We all miss Jon
Not full of himself.....that's what I love about Jon Stewart. I hope he is enjoying his Retirement & family
Thank you for sharing this with us online Bloomberg!
Theres just something about him that tells ya hes just a NICE guy
His active lobbying of congress on behalf of the 9-11 first responders, and especially his 2019 appearance before those senators who made the time to listen to Stewart's impassioned plea to make medical coverage permanent for those brave men and women, speaks to his genuine humanity. He is not just a nice guy, he is an amazing example of the kind of person we should all emulate. Our lives, our country, and our world would be vastly improved.
WE LOVE YOU, JON!!!
Jon Stewart 2020.. If we make it. Please Jon, save us. I know you're are a comedian first, but your voice, wit, intellect and wonderful insight is something this country needs.
welcome back, Jon!
I dont know Trevor Noah's story. Some times he get a good rant going and he seems quite clever. But John Stewart had a nack for going for what was less obvious. I find Noah to be a little obvious some of the time.
What Stewart did was on another level. Then again, he had worked for quite a few years.
Sokratis Dalakas read Trevor Noah’s book. It has everything and one of the most fun reads. You will respect him so much more. He’s an amazing person
try watching his behing the scenes stuff. it is much more fun
I feel like Trevor is a bit too afraid to be as biting and direct as Jon was when he was the host; Trevor isn't bad, it's just that he's too meek compared to Jon
The closest analogy is probably John Oliver, except Jon Stewart could actually get angry and I don't think I have ever seen John Oliver do that.
Noah is a jerk and a liar ... Battlefield dabacel... More you dont need to know...
Jon is the realist dude in media that we can trust
I deeply MISS Jon Stewart!!!!
Jon Stewart, Stephen colbert, John Oliver? the greats
Jon Stewart is an American treasure! What will we do without him? I hope he takes some well deserved time off and then come back with a new phase of his brilliant career.
Jon Stewart keeps it real love him god bless him
the thing that impressed me about john stewart was he had a broad and diverse breadth of world knowledge and by and large, he got his fact right. we never got eposodes of bill oriley calling john on bad facts.
He is a true American. A true American stand for human right, and fear not from the truth
