The delivery on “unfortunately, the window was closed.” is freaking brilliant. He seems so emotionally detached. Steve is a walking masterclass for comedy
If anyone wants a good laugh, Steve Carell has been on Stephen Colbert's Late Show to tell a more indepth version of this story, and it leaves me rolling in laughter every time.
For sure - Re-listen and note how he builds the energy as the stories progresses, and they brings it back down for the heartfelt finish. A masterpiece of public speaking.

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ riiiiight. I'll do that the day Jesus makes Congress work. Cuz that would take a genuine miracle, not like those in the bible.
One of the funniest things on the Daily Show that I'll never forget is when Carrell went to a town where like 20 some people were marked dead on a censes due to a printer error and he interviewed everyone as if it were a massacre.
It is a classic validation of a comedian when the audience is in pain due to laughing so much that they have to say 'you have to stop' to the comedian......
@@idiotidiot5821 holy shit I was going to say the same thing....... Jon says "please don't do this" while hysterically laughing. One of the best norm appearances on any show. Only second to the conan where he says the famous chairman of the bored line
I’d only ever seen something like that half a handful of times. Sean Locke also sprang to mind, whom we also sadly lost recently. Loved this whole evening, quite the sendup for a man like John S, who’d normally have none of it.
The best part about this speech is that Steve does not break at all during any point of it, even when he switches from comedy to genuine heartfelt words. My favorite speech from this whole night
3:05: “You have to stop” . Steve is so funny he had Jon (and everyone else) gasping for air and begging for mercy. A minute later he had Jon (and everyone else) tearing up. The best tribute ever.
I haven’t laughed so hard in so long and then turn around and feel the respect and humble attitude that Steve’s speech provided. That was an amazing speech
All things aside, the talent that came out of that show is mindblowing - Carell, Colbert, Oliver, Cordry, Helms, Jones, Klepper, Minhaj, Riggle, Bee, Williams…. They were stacked!
I just love how Jon was the first one laughing before Steve began to tell us about his first assignment on the show 😂🤣😆 Thank you Steve, I laughed so hard I almost coughed out a lung lmao! By far the best speech! And Jon you deserve this and much more ♥️
That speech was not the first time Jon stood up for us firefighters and the police/EMS. Thank you Jon for having our backs, we get paid crap considering how often our lives are truly in mortal danger. Steve, what a powerhouse speech. Both you and Dave had me in tears laughing and crying!
What I enjoyed most about this tribute, in slight contrast to the others, was the time and effort Carelll put into making his speech the most enjoyable and entertaining for Jon, rather than the audience or himself. Very considerate. Very wise. He's like Jon- the hilarious empath.
0:58 I love that at even the earliest mention of this anecdote, you can hear Jon giggling because he already knows what Steve's story is going to be about.
I can't describe how much I miss Jon Stewart's "daily" inoculation of Humor, Wit, together with the Kindness and Care pouring out of this Beautiful Loving Human Being ♥
I think the tributes done by Chappelle & Steve Carell are the best. But it's so hard to determine which one was better so I am going with that they're equally the best!
That speech by Jon may have saved my life. I went from Michigan to NYC when this happened, hoping my Navy training in firefighting and first aid might be of use. It wasn't by the time I got there and managed to get into ground zero. But I had 2 weeks' vacation, and I decided I could still schlep food and drinks and help move some rubble. But one day, helping two fire fighters, I saw something I still hate to think about - I could not take it. I left, knowing I might not get back in, got a cheap hotel room and some beer. I think I was on the verge of PTSD. I had never seen The Daily Show, but I had heard it was funny, and I saw it on the cable guide, and tuned in to see Jon talking about people from all over, with buckets, rebuilding, and I realized that he, a New Yorker, was talking about me. He made me realize that my tiny contribution mattered - so I went back. If I had not, I don't think I could have looked at myself in the mirror. I swore an oath in 1981, if I had left, I would have violated that oath, and Jon gave me the strength to keep it.
I remember watching his commentary after 9/11. It felt like the first attempt to return to normal after days and days of watching the news and replay after replay of the events that unfolded. The world had to start spinning again and Jon helped us find our footing.
I didn't discover that commentary until after TH-cam had truly taken off as a media platform, plus I was in middle school when 9/11 happened. I do remember, however, feeling incredibly unsettled and scared that we (i.e. Southern California) would be "next" on the terrorists' hitlist, even as a child. Years later, I finally happened upon the post-9/11 segment where Jon addressed the country in one of the most raw, heart-felt monologues I had seen. I felt every word of it then, and still do even now. I felt the same when I watched his fiery address to Congress demanding that they do their part to honor the surviving 9/11 first responders, when nobody else in power seemed to give a damn. He truly is an incredible, irreplaceable human being.
Man this makes me miss them all together, as a team. Absolutely brilliant together. I remember the post 9/11 show. That was a terrible time in NY, & the country. We were all so young back then. What happened after 9/11 to the first responders, who spent weeks going through the toxic pile of rubble, was criminal. The head of the EPA came up to Ground Zero, & told them.. & the public, that the air was safe to breathe. It wasn’t. I know why Jon advocates for 9/11 First Responders, & veterans suffering from exposure to the toxic burnpits. I saw it all too bc I lived it w/ him. I’ve great admiration for him in many ways, most especially bc he’s such a good human being. I love that the main cast of the Daily Show w/ Jon are all still good friends, doing what they love. They deserve it. They’re still all brilliant. 💓. I’ll always love these guys. I remember both
pfffff lolol he was devastated? Ya right. Ya he was probably "devastated" that he didnt get the "joo phone call" like Al franken did. OH, you dont know what that is? look it up, it actually happened....
Sadly that is just a time period thing, toxic burnpits were the last thing on peoples minds and they didn't know any better when breathing it in. A whole city fell to pieces, saving lives and rebuilding was more important to those people in that moment. Today they would over protect you because children grow up coddled and can't be bothered to make any type of sacrifice big or small in order to help a neighbor. And hindsight us 20/20, Wearing a mask was not as acceptable or as common as it is today.
Yep, that's our Gov't, they tell you lies or nothing at all when they are placing your life/safety in danger. Over 34 yrs ago the USN did not think asbestos was a big deal to us and now we are paying for it. 4 yrs after I got out they demolished the base, which was built during WW2. Asbestos was used greatly during that period. Asbestos ran rapid all over the base. I just wonder how many people suffered, perished behind this, and the Navy knew all along. I'm glad JS has been a voice for the first responders and the military, I'm glad he cares.
Good writing team. Watch Jon Stewart now and you just want to kill yourself it's so cringe when he sold out to a big corporation to retain his white privilege he liked to complain about 247
The fact that Steve can keep his composure while the whole crowd laughs for his entire speech is fucking amazing. Except for the "did i do that" part where even he knew he just threw that in for the hell of it. Jon got the best speeches from his colleagues out of any Mark Twain prize ceremony
Just excellent. Both of em...Stewart's monologue after 9'11 was something else. He concluded asking: "You know what the view is now from southern Manhattan (refering to the gap the twin towers left) ? Statue of Liberty. Can't beat that." Still gives me shivers.
Carell is such a master. It's amazing to watch how he brings the audience to a crescendo and then so effortlessly shifts gears into such a serious subject. I've watched this so many times.
This never gets old no matter how many times I watch it. I ache from laughing so hard and get tears in my eyes shortly after when they show Jon after 9/11. Perfection.
Jon Stewart is one of the coolest people I've ever seen on TV. Brilliant, passionate with an amazing stage presence. The man has sense, talent and a good heart. 💙😎
I remember Jon on on TV that night in 2001 - it was so powerful for all of us coming to grips with the consequences of 9/11. Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart - you guys have always been the best. Thank you a million times
I am so insanely jealous of the people who got to work with Jon on the Daily Show. For many years it was my comedy dream. He really is an extraordinary person who has left an indelible mark on our medal landscape. ~Trav
I love that you can hear him laughing when he starts talking about the snakes. He knows exactly where this is going, it’s been a running joke for 20 plus years.
I do miss my nightly dose of humor from Jon Stewart on the Daily Show! And, his tireless work on behalf of 9/11 first responders and their families is a testimony to this man's credibility as a caring human being!
Sometimes I can’t believe Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms and John Oliver all came from this show around about 6 year time period. Jon Stewart knew talent.
I think it says a lot about the people that worked under Stewart. Carrell, Colbert and John Oliver were all under his tree and they are now all just as prominent as Stewart. How many people working on the Ellen show or any other show have held any prominence after they left that organization (other than SNL). Greatness breeds greatness.
OMGosh….it must have been so wonderful to work on this show! A dream job indeed! I watched it and laughed my ass off .jon deserves this award and these guys are true friends for life ….what we all would dream of having. In our lives. Congrats Jon!
I can't believe he got through this without breaking. The Office blooper reels, for instance, showed he will crack up fairly frequently. But he just crushed this and his commitment made it easily 5 times as funny. So great.
Nah. He hardly ever cracks on the office. If you watch again, it's usually someone else who cracks, and he laughs to join them and not make it seem like they screwed up the scene. He's almost never the one who cracks first.
Gotta love Steve Carell!!! He was a gem on the daily show as well!!! All of his movies are amazing! He is a GOAT in the making! I felt when Jon said "you have to stop" through hysterical laughter. When you have hilarious friends, you reach a point of laughing so hard you can't breath! Awesome.
So funny! 😂👍 All these comedians paying homage to one. It's like a roast, but more 'respectful' so to speak. It's great to have a good laugh at the end of a horrid week 😝
I’ve always liked Steve Carrell. But this is damn near some of the funniest material he’s ever put together. I might say he completely outdid every other speaker of that night.
Man look at comedy. Experimental. On the edge. Willing to test new boundaries but still funny for the ability to extract comedy from whatever the circumstance is. Just brilliant! Love these guys. They've helped thru so much. Edit: No disrespect to the other comics who came before or after but Steve Carell took the night. Amazing amazingly funny and brilliant stories.
One year after and I'm here again, laughing again, getting moved again. One year later I still couldn't pick the very best of all the hilarious heart warming {and pain relieving} speeches on that fantastic human being Jon Stewart is.
As happy as I am they all found fulfillment in their own rights, I selfishly wished Carell, Colbert and Stewart would continue on the Daily Show forever. I miss them together.
"He also reiterated that he'd like to see me bitten by a snake at some point." Steve Carell's comedic timing is nearly unmatched.
That bit absolutely killed
@@mattburgess5697bit?
That really was the crescendo of this whole monologue. Absolutely brilliant timing and delivery.
There's no higher praise for a comedian than making another comedian laugh so hard they're in tears and begging you to have mercy.
Carell has gone on to such a distinguished acting career, people forget how insanely funny he was on Daily Show.
I used to love the debates between him and Steven Colbert. (Even Stepvhens)
Comedic genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Its role as Gru alone should let people know that.
Nobody forgot that he wasnt funny. Only you memory holed it. None of the Daily Show was ever funny.
I've never thought about Carrell as a stand up comedian, but now I want to see him on tour.
I think steve carrell was Jonny Salami in the tv show "The Workplace".
The delivery on “unfortunately, the window was closed.” is freaking brilliant. He seems so emotionally detached. Steve is a walking masterclass for comedy

He probably will eventually
I absolutely adore Steve carrell. Yes Jon is great. But I have a special love for carrell. He's really a genius.

Carell's tribute speeches are absolute masterpieces....check out the one to Tina Fey, although this one is even better.

The best part about this speech is that Steve does not break at all during any point of it, even when he switches from comedy to genuine heartfelt words. My favorite speech from this whole night
Carell is one of the most skillful actors when it comes to not breaking character. It's part of what got him the part of Evan Baxter in Bruce Almighty
Well said
He breaks at 3:40
The best part was when it ended and we all moved on with our lives, Ya know? Stop pretending Stewart didn’t run away on bone spurs?
@@enigmaficate beat me to it lmao
There's something special about a comedian making a fellow comedian laugh so hard they ask for mercy. This was gold.

This was one of the hardest times I've laughed in awhile! No one was funnier that Steve Carrell that night. Amazing.
He was good! I preferred chappelle though. That monologue was superb.
Go watch robin Williams talk with the troops....he did a show with the army that was so funny
me too!...lost it at 'he also reiterated he'd like to see me bitten by a snake'
He was good, though for me Chappelle was better.

OMGosh….it must have been so wonderful to work on this show! A dream job indeed! I watched it and laughed my ass off .jon deserves this award and these guys are true friends for life ….what we all would dream of having. In our lives. Congrats Jon!
This video never stops making me laugh. How can he keep a straight face? HOW, STEVE? HOW???
His timing and inflection are just a master class
I can't believe he got through this without breaking. The Office blooper reels, for instance, showed he will crack up fairly frequently. But he just crushed this and his commitment made it easily 5 times as funny. So great.
Also, "mobile home full of snakes" is one of the funniest phrases I've ever heard.
Nah. He hardly ever cracks on the office. If you watch again, it's usually someone else who cracks, and he laughs to join them and not make it seem like they screwed up the scene. He's almost never the one who cracks first.
He cut his teeth as a deadpan comedian.
He does crack though?
Gotta love Steve Carell!!! He was a gem on the daily show as well!!! All of his movies are amazing! He is a GOAT in the making! I felt when Jon said "you have to stop" through hysterical laughter. When you have hilarious friends, you reach a point of laughing so hard you can't breath! Awesome.
Went from busting a gut, to sudden tears. It takes a Jon Stewart or a Steve Carell to do that!
Steve is a class act..and you are right..we forget how incredibly funny Steve is..genius...
So funny! 😂👍 All these comedians paying homage to one. It's like a roast, but more 'respectful' so to speak. It's great to have a good laugh at the end of a horrid week 😝
Congratulations Bulldog. That is respect!!
I’ve always liked Steve Carrell. But this is damn near some of the funniest material he’s ever put together. I might say he completely outdid every other speaker of that night.

This was a great night for Jon Stewart..glad I was able to watch the entire show.
Glad to see Carell being funny again, those drama movies he's done are solid, but this is definitely his bread and butter.
This year's award ceremony was amazing television. The comedy coupled with the sincerity was a real treat.
Man look at comedy. Experimental. On the edge. Willing to test new boundaries but still funny for the ability to extract comedy from whatever the circumstance is. Just brilliant! Love these guys. They've helped thru so much.
Edit: No disrespect to the other comics who came before or after but Steve Carell took the night. Amazing amazingly funny and brilliant stories.
Everyone spoke so well for Jon Stewart.. Well deserved
That show was really special, with all these talents together.
Jon is coming back to America!
One year after and I'm here again, laughing again, getting moved again. One year later I still couldn't pick the very best of all the hilarious heart warming {and pain relieving} speeches on that fantastic human being Jon Stewart is.
Just like the Daily show, your insides hurt from the laughter one minute and the next you’re enraptured by the sincerity.
Never stop
Every daily show Alum is a national treasure.... but Steve Carrell is just a different level of humor when he turns it on.
As happy as I am they all found fulfillment in their own rights, I selfishly wished Carell, Colbert and Stewart would continue on the Daily Show forever. I miss them together.
Last time Colbert was funny
One can dream! He left us right when we needed him the most lol!
The best tribute to a friend that I never saw in my life... 👏👏👏
Crying from Laughter 😃
This has to be the 10th time I've come back to rewatch this
Saw this program, and loved every minute of it! Stewart is incredible, and his social activism warms my heart.
Jon is loved down here in Australia and New Zealand as well. He stands for the America we are Allies and friends with and who we care for.
John’s comedy tree is insane. So many great comedians came out of his run on the Daily Show!
Leadership
