- Jon Stewart's latest show has been canceled by Apple TV due to its criticism of China, but the downward trajectory of Stewart's comedy has been clear for some time. I explain why the show was doomed from the start.

The man was the Midwit messiah. However the midwit is in the process of being replaced by the progressive zealot.
George Carlin is the midwit messiah
Strong competition from carl sagan and Jon stewart
But Carlin takes the cake.
D'Souza is also a good contestant too
Stewart is a prime example of why European folklore frequently has a theme of bad results from dealing with wicked goblin creatures.
Based..
I got a Tadjiki khazar bud that looks similar to him
@@dlive1391 Khazars never existed, it's a 19th century fiction projected on a loose process of intermixing between nomads and farmers that happened all over the world, from China to Southern Europe. Basically, the 'Judaists' (or, simply, "lawyers", from Mosaic law) were about to be given a small medieval Empire of their own, but the project was then cancelled.
cool it with the antisemitism
Trevor Noah's "comedy" routine:
"America is so racist. I'm from South Africa.. South Africa is so racist. But America is also really racist. Im colored. Republicans are so racist."
Dude what the fuck that made me lol my ass off this Trevor Noah guy sounds hilarious
The modern news anchor/comedian originates with Stewart. Repeat what your opponent said in a mocking tone, make your eyes bug out, move your hands frantically, then do a dramatic pause for silence while the seals clap. This stuff killed an entire generation of American political discourse. I despise Stewart and his ilk.
@@gyrate98 All milk is kosher milk.
That’s the smug smarmy bullshit that passes for an argument from progressive pundits to this day
It actually originates with Miller/MacDonald, who were inspired by the way Letterman would phrase things in a particular sarcastic manner. Stewart was a weaponized version of that, and then it went into mass production with Meyers and so on.
He was a strange combination of "facts and logic" and the progressive entitlement to lie.
He stopped being funny when Obama came into the picture. I actually remember the exact moment when Jon Stewart stopped being funny to me because it was the first time I'd seen him play a politician's corny, schmaltzy speech and just accept it uncritically - without his accustomed cynicism. It was when Obama gave that speech defending Jeremiah Wright.
March 18, 2008; Season 13 Episode 37 if you want to look it up.
I was in middle school in 2008 and I agree - I started hating him and Colbert around that time
There were 13 seasons of that garbage?
Obama's emergence was the beginning of all "comedy" falling in line with the establishment. He was the first president who couldn't be made fun of or criticized. If you dared criticize or poke fun at him, you were labeled a racist. That, plus the escalation of "white guilt" made him untouchable. The establishment knew what they were doing. And Stewart was one of their main props.
You're a good man, Auron MacIntyre.
Jon Leibowitz subverted politics for an entire generation
He's similar to Carlin, except Carlin was still worse being that he was an out-right traitor, whereas Leibowitz is at least an outsider attacking his host nation.
The first time I ever heard "freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences" was from Jon Stewart during a clown nose off segment. I heard it everywhere after that.
Jonathan Leibowitz
I lost all respect for him long ago, as I hope others have. Late night comedy was apparently turned into paid propaganda with dancing vaccine needles and such.
That was the absolute bottom. I bet Letterman quietly enjoys what a turd Colbert turned out to be. Hopefully better times ahead.
Colbert is a such a PoS. Unbelievably bad, no spine, the ultimate dancing bear. @@wungabunga
I like the "clown nose on clown nose off" description of Stewart, excellent dissection of Jon Stewart's tactics. I honestly felt the same way with the two-face strategy that claimed, "I'm only joking!" Until an opportunity arose.
“Clown nose” accidental genius that works on some problematic layers.
BillMahr is same archetype as PiersMorgan
Problem with the daily show format is that the comedic aspect got alot of normies who otherwise should have stayed away from politics into wanting to be involved. That's part of why things look the way they do now. These political mediocracies want to "change the world" when they can't even run their own lives without disaster.
Facts.
Truer words ne’er spoken. My cousin was caught up in Manchester bombing(Ariana grande concert). Her sister is all over Facebook equivocating over Hamas and it’s targeting of civilians. Literally pointless attempting to correct or argue with them, as otherwise she’s a pleasant person.
@@cannibalholocaust3015 Social media is the other part of the equation in you're cousins case. Giving everyone a voice is more harmful than helpful in the age of "low information" that we live in today.
Considering how he tries to gaslight people on gun control with his discussion with an Oklahoma senator and defend child drag shows, he got what he deserved.
I think people underestimate the differences in generations. Gen X's cultural output was informed by a certain worldview, but it didn't pass that exact worldview on to millenials. Millenials didn't take away the message that the right-wingers being mocked were just stupid, they took away the message that right-wingers are the enemy.
The whole notion of irony didn't translate. Gen X used irony to mock anything sincere, not engaging intellectually at all, but to millenials now sincerity doesn't exist. To them everybody is always lying and communication is only a means to attain power.
As a South African, I feel I must apologise for Trevor Noah
There's no humor in Clown World
Ironic
I was pretty easily led by Stewart when I was younger. It was simple, I was against the wars and that put me on the left by default. All I knew of the right was the Bush era neocons.
Now of course the Internet has disillusioned me and I am a Sensible Centrist!
How long have you been watching Auron’s show?
I began watching in the past year or so. I have been gradually politically "redpilled" as it were over the past few years however.
I should clarify I meant that I was easily led during the old school Daily Show days in the early 2000's. I was in high school and college at that time and pretty politically naieve. I suspect my experience was not unique among mellenials. @@logangalvez6619
Jon Leibowitz.
I wonder why Jon Stewart 2.0 didn't brand himself as a center left Bill Maher type? That was very much his schtick back in the day; he'd foster the illusion that he was independent and apolitical by occasionally going after leftists or defending the center right. Possibly he's become a true believer? Possibly he's that out of touch?
I remember him giving a great segment to Ron Paul on how the GOP and mainstream media were railroading him in the primaries, along with a cordial and even favorable interview...
They thought he will weaken the Republicans@@DoritoWorldOrder
Bill could fall back on to his libertarianism to retain "some" credibility, John can't he's a just a wet liberal
Ethan Klein does a similar thing to John Stewart, but in reverse. He will moralize and make serious points, then the second someone takes him seriously and addresses him in any subscription way, he posts a picture of his disgusting body doing something ridiculous and mocks the person for being serious with a clown. You can not engage these people directly. The same way you can not engage an animal directly. You do not try to dialogue with animals, you observe them from a distance and comment on their behaviors indirectly. We gain nothing from interacting with them, but should still comment on and ridicule them.
Their ethnic group is pretty famous for that
@@Nightdiver20 Watch how they cry out in pain while striking you.
@@Nightdiver20
Gradually
Remember when he said blacks and Jews should team up to "get whitey"? That was crazy.
They've been doing it for 60 years.
He should just do a podcast by himself with a guest. He might show up better without the network censors on his back.
Jon Stewart was so destructive, he brought far left progressive urbanite politics to naive White suburban kids living rooms.
I can listen to Auron go on about Stewart, Colbert, Maher etc almost forever. I find it cathartic
Jon Stewart is done
Jon may be starting to have his own Bill Maher moment of "why has my side turned on me?". I am interested to see if he follows the route of trying to have his liberal cake and eat it too like Maher. Maher seems unwilling to recognize his view led to the new left taking over, and I doubt Jon would be as well
Did J. Liebowitz's Comedy Central snark also influence the genre of sarcastic, mocking, condescending internet commentators, like the awful work from the man everyone calls "Jim"
Who is "Jim"?
Never watched him apart from that debate he has with some no name politician you guys have over there, on gun rights. It was insufferable. Not helped by the politician endlessly falling into debate traps and allowing Stewart to frame everything.
Oh, damn. I never realized, even all those times I used to watch Stewart, that he was indeed just using a more jocular theatrical variation of the same sophist tactics of old. Thanks for kind of crystallizing that disappointing reality for me. As much of a bummer of a revelation as it may be.🤔😕😞
Jon Stewart's fanbase reminds me of Kevin McDonald's hypothesis that the small-hatted crowd spread their ideas by giving people the feeling that they are becoming part of the "elite" when they adopt small-hatted views.
Great episode, Auron! Very insightful. Thank you!
Stewart being a driving force to destroy nostalgia in America and to few remaining to care about a former legend is fairly poetic.
39:11 In the context of Bill Maher and such this is a fair point. However I've heard this same phrasing for the cultural halabaloo during the Barbie movie which I think was a big mistake. I don't think anyone was under the delusion that that movie was actually "secretly based" the reason why this was funny to float as an idea into the conversation was that it forced the left to have to do the work of rescuing the intended narrative from what was actually a strange incoherent product of an ideology that is starting to run into it's internal contradictions.
If anyone doubts how much of a cultural force Jon Stewart was in the early aughts, they made a Robin Williams movie called "Man of the Year" where the basic premise is a Jon Stewart/Daily Show type comedian becomes the president because, "hey, all these politicians are clowns anyway, right? Lol!!!11!"
Another phenomenal video and analysis as usual
Gen-Xer here: vapidity and nihilism were a large part of that generation. More than sad that lightweights such as this Stewart fellow (and Maher) were even considered relevant
Good job Auron Senpai
Nice analysis and observations. 👍
you mean Jonathan "shifter of shapes" Leibowitz
"Sees Title"
Oh no!
Anyways.....
A remarkably articulate analysis. Thank you.
Bill Burr's new movie 'Old Dads' is hilarious.
Sorry Auron, but you’re the only good voice on The Blaze. Jason Whitlock is ok and Steve Deace was decent but the past few years he has become unbearable too.
Vivek talks of "the good, the true, and the beautiful".
Revolutions like Zeus always murder their parents.
The "Daily Show left" is something Ive called a certain block of the left for sometime. They get almoat all of their talking points from late night "comedy" shows and have been since the john stewart days. im glad someone else is discussing the influence of this show.
Before JS came back, I heard many many times from lefties in my life "man i wish John Stewart would come back we need him". This guy is practically a saint to a LARGE demo of the left, to this day.
By the way, take a look at who has been hosting like the last 20 episodes for a laugh
@@sirfranklloyd Philip DeFranco was deliberately copying _The Daily Show_ when he first started. Now he just makes shorts where parrots the exact words of the U.S. Government.
Jon Leibovitz's shtick made more sense in the early 2000's when George W. Bush was President.
Should be obvious by now that he didn't give a s*** about what George W Bush was doing. There is no Anti-war Left. There's only a Pro-power Left, same as his comrades from the 60s in the mainstream media like Walter Cronkite. Being anti-war is just an excuse to get their enemies out of power.
No some of them are genuinely pacifist. The Italian Socialists were pacifists and Mussolini left them and got Fascism going because he wanted to get into WWI.@@joelkurowski9276
This is a phenomenon I see with a lot of young male creatives. They have this splurge of creativity and innovation that changes the playing field but they eventually run out of steam and are unable to reinvent themselves in a way that matches their early years. I'll give Prince credit for fighting that good fight but you'll still only hear his 80's stuff on the radio. He's still really only remembered for his Purple Rain stuff. I think there is a difference between just not wanting to lose the lime light and actually striving to contribute something of value. I never could really tell where Stewart landed on that issue.
Few channels have readable comments like Auron's.
Jordan came back and played two seasons for the Wizards.
And had a better comeback than Leibovitz-Stewart.
Really love your vids auron, but the “jobstacking” thing is pretty dystopian.
How so?
@@bramdoe3303 the idea that you need to stack multiple full time jobs just to be financially viable is insane and indicative of something seriously wrong in society.
@@nashmonti120 learn a trade. Lots of money to be made. All the old guys are retiring and no one is filling their spots. Do something you can be proud of and feel accomplishment from at the end of the day. I started watching HVAC RUclips videos six years ago and got on as an apprentice. Worked that job for a few years and went to night school for commercial refrigeration. Got my certification and now I work exclusively in restaurant-type settings and make $30/hr (which is really good for my location). I’m studying for my contractors license and then I’m going to do my own thing. Sky is the limit. I may fail, but I have the hard skills to get a (good) job literally anywhere I want to go. And it sure beats wage cucking meaningless email jobs for multiple globo corps that hate my guts.
Edit: these jobs are held almost exclusively by huwite males so you can generally speak freely.
@@Harr1s0n_Berger0n I understand why you'd have this perspective, but I think you're making a snap judgment. Some of the selling points of the product are specifically NOT burning out or working more than 8 hours a day.
I see it as a way to leverage your time more wisely rather than giving 1 employer all of your time.
Unless you are working a job you love, you most likely have no loyalty to your employer. Even if you do love it, you do not owe them your time. You owe them productivity.
If you're able to work remotely, you can also probably automate parts of it.
I believe the idea is to become more than merely financially viable-enabling yourself to get ahead while taking advantage of tech and the way the system works here.
If you take the perspective of working a job in order to learn a skill, then it's doubly useful.
@@Harr1s0n_Berger0n Also, "full-time" doesn't really mean full-time. The expectation is on productive output, not time served. Most bosses DO have a "time-served" mentality, but this whole notion that they own your time is ludicrous and tantamount to white collar slavery.
If you don't have skills, get some. If your skills require physical presence, then learn some skills that don't and moonlight.
The true goal should be to start your own business and/or create a REAL working partnership/relationship with a company
The _Daily Show_ was a case study in the "motte & bailey" technique. John Stewart is a human manifestation of _pil pul._ Which to say fundamental cynical dishonesty with an eye towards pure power. which is to say he is a Je
All of his successors have tried to implement the same paradigm but completely lacking any of the cloaking comedic skill, which was the honey that let the arsenic slip by.

I never found Stewart funny.
I never understood the appeal of John Stewart's show. I didn't think he was funny on his show or in movies.
I have you ever heard a woman talk about her partner and a funny thing he did or said and thought to yourself....not funny at all. That's him
I never thought he was funny or politically astute.
Jon Leibowitz/Stewart was on Letterman, Johnny Carson and other tv shows from time to time before getting The Daily Show. I never found him funny at all in those late night appearances.
Fox News should hire him
Why not. They already have Geraldo, Bret Baier and Dana Perino. And that idiot, Hannity.

Any thoughts on the new Daily Wire venture into mainstream children's programming? It sounds like they could actually get some really top talent from the big studios to work on projects. I just worry about accessibility. I really hope it takes off.
The Daily Wire is an abomination.
All they need is one hit that kids watch over and over. Kind of like Disney and Bluey.
48:45 I saw this paid chat in the chat replay and immediately felt suspicious. It was a bunch of potentially controversial statements that, if read aloud by MacIntyre, would have sounded like claims he was making. The comment smelled like bait, though it probably wasn't and was just a foolish user using the superchat system as a personal therapy device.
I waited until MacIntyre got to that comment, hoping that he'd have the good sense to not read it out loud. Thankfully, he acknowledged it without reciting it or displaying it. Smooth move.
I’m watching this now that they have dragged him out for the daily show. It’s still midwit smarmy humor
You forget the most important aspect of Jon Stewart: he wanted to be a politician. He believed he was a thinker. He was making us all pay for the fact that he was "only a comedian."
I think pretty much every politico that cam from. The Obama.era needa to be swept aside.
U are exhausting this topic 😂
Yes but most Republican voters don't understand this yet.
A lot of filler in this one
Stewart was never a great stand up.
Yeah, like a B- talent. A lot of those Gen X guys were just lousy. Dave Chappelle didn't even become a great until maybe late 90s.
I wouldn't be surprised if AppleTV was desperate to get *their* platform off the ground, decided "Hey Joe Rogan has a ridiculous following and brings political guests on all the time and 'platforms' them, we need something like that!" Dollars to donuts some genius there thought Oh I know, let's do the Daily Show again, and *they* reached out to Jon Stewart with the idea.
I never watched Jon Stewart, he didn't appeal to me. Maybe it's cultural. Maybe it's because I'm a boomer. I dunno. But I know enough about guys like Stewart and Howard Stern to know they are simply full of crap and will say whatever they think they need to say to get along in a humorless subculture. I don't think Stewart has bought into anything. You have to have actual beliefs and a genuine value system for that. I think Maher is a God hating iconoclastic a-hole, but he's always been that and he actually believes the crap he spews. That's why he's able to get along in that same humorless subculture. People respond to people who are genuine and they don't respond to functionary bots who are just playing a role. There's nothing new under the sun there.
I imagine Stewart has gone from being edgy to being obtuse with this younger set who will not allow themselves or their fellow travelers to be mocked. I think there's hope though. I think the number of true believers in the woke subculture is much smaller than what is being sold. I think the powers-that-be who are hellbent on tearing the place down are simply applying good old Stalinist mathematics and cooking the books. Keep in mind these are the same people who lied about COVID and a myriad of other hoaxes, the same people running poles that show Trump is ahead by 70 points in Iowa and New Hampshire. The same people who can't tell you what a woman is. Believe nothing these people tell you about anything.
Stewart will fade away. He never should have thought he had a chance. Guess money and people telling you how wonderful you are goes a long way. Ask the Rolling Stones.
Enjoy your work. "mill-you" not "may-lou" :D
These discussions are always a hate fest for understandable reasons. Everyone is lightning fast to say "I always hated Stewart." No one deeply admits Stewart and Colbert "won" an entire generation of political consciousness. The normal, but slightly more intelligent people around me are still caught in that state of consciousness. No one ever really asks "how could we achieve that?" As if the question of how to make effective propaganda is of no consequence. As if right wing propaganda currently isn't like trying to force feed people dry bran flakes. No, please, call him Leibowitz again. That will do the trick. Thousandth time is the charm, or so the mentally deficient say.
