Gracias. I doubt I’ll be watching either. Getting over a nasty sinus infection and now I think I have pink eye. Damn.

A couple of funny lines, I suppose.

He’s really not very funny though. I wish he’d shut up so we can get on with the show.

Adolf Hitler name joke?

ohhh yay he appears to be finished.

Did Stewart actually get booed for that Hillary joke?

What do you expect--Senator Clinton is still well-known in Hollywood, especially through their connection with Harry and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, MAJOR producers of TV shows for many years.

His monologue was pretty pathetic. Seems to me those writers should have stayed on strike.
