Yeah — every time you hear “hope,” “change,” or “hope for change.” Or every time someone says “writer’s strike.”

Amazing clip. It probably looks best on HD TV but it was pretty cool.

Every time I see Cammy I wonder why no one has ever suggested she do something grown-up and/or normal with her hair.

Every time I see her, I wish she would get rid of that awful black eyeliner. She looks like a raccoon.

Did Stewart actually get booed for that Hillary joke?

Jon Stewart has made three sex jokes and it’s only 5:36.

I’ve got kids here with me. uggghhhhh

Good to see it live.

Jon Stewart was not best choice for this. He doesn't look like he wants to be there.

Crazy as he is- Jack had the best line of the year so far- when asked who he is supporting for POTUS- he said Senator Clinton...the reporter asked why and he replied- “Because she’s the best man for the job”...

love it !


glad you do.

Apart from very few movies made today most are derivative trash...a waste of time and money to an enormously decadent degree.

Murnau’s “Sunrise” would rank near the top - so watching cookie cutter stuff coming out today leaves me cold and sad.
