Couldn’t get past the canned laughter— or were the backgrounders all given Nitrous Oxide —or a pot induced Haze prior to the program. I didn’t hear him say anything at all worth laughing at—but then I’m not under the influence.
“I didn’t hear him say anything at all worth laughing at—but then I’m not under the influence.”
That’s the point - Stewart almost ALWAYS gets laughs at the expense of his guests - usually lots more, and louder, than on that particular show. He couldn’t trip Barton up on one thing. The show is done before a live audience (pretty sure) and while there was some faint, short laughter a few times, nothing like usual which is frequently accompanied by applause.
No, Stewart bombed out this time. Guess you’d have to watch some of his other shows to see the contrast. I only tune in when I see he’s having a guest on I want to see (or go to the website to watch that specific interview without the rest of the yuppy liberal garbage). He’s considered quite the wit and intellect by the Left, but I find it humorous that he still credits Dennis Miller (a conservative) as being the smartest comedian by far.
