@@hugoboss8550 Trevor Noah's team simply doesn't do the same level of deep, thorough research that Jon Stewart's team was popular for. I used to learn things when I watched Jon Stewart. Things about VA backlogs and digitization, things about the Zadroga bill. Trevor, on the other hand: you could skim the headlines on Google News and learn everything of substance Trevor Noah was about to tell you. He's charming and funny, and his Between the Scenes segments are gold, but when people call Jon Stewart, "sharp," or "on point," I don't think they're referring to how funny or entertaining he was or how clever his take on today's headlines. At least for me, when I say stuff like "Jon Stewart was incredible, and we need someone like him," I'm talking about how Jon Stewart was always trying to take his opponents' side. In fact, he would continue trying to take their side -- researching their arguments -- until the absurdities piled up and it became clear that his subject was not even trying to take their own side. Once he reached that point, he would rip the person to shreds, but not a moment before. And he would get his material from someplace other than, "current, trending news."
As much as I hate to say it, I think it’s a bit of a cop-out for Jon to use that excuse. He turned a comedy show into a show with integrity and a soul. The fact that they are a comedy show doesn’t mean they can’t be hard hitting, because they were in many instances. In Tucker’s part, he’s obviously deflecting, but he’s also right. Jon’s point is far more important, though.

I watched this part on repeat :D You can tell how visibly shaken tucker is. After the exchange tucker is completely defeated, has no response, and just takes a sip of his water in defeat. LOL
Jonathan Klein, CNNs CEO who canceled Crossfire later said Mr. Stewart's criticism of the show played a serious part in their loss of enthusiasm for their own show, contributing to its cancellation.
Made a slight mistake. It was Jonathan Klein, CNN CEO who said so. www.nytimes.com/2005/01/06/business/media/cnn-will-cancel-crossfire-and-cut-ties-to-commentator.html
Appreciate the link. I wonder how much of what Klein said was PR, given that in my humble estimation there aren’t a lot of hard news shows on CNN in 2019. It’s still a lot of 4-6 guest punditry, which is honestly wrong for basically the same reason as Stewart said on live TV and Klein confirmed later. Interesting though
Now Jon Stewarts career is in the shits and he had to come back to his old show because could make it on his own. Tucker Carlson is now one of the biggest guys in political news. Him being fired from Fox was the best thing for Tucker.
@havu2236 Jon's career is nowhere near the shits. He does what he chooses to at this point. He came back because these same issues are worse than ever. As for Tucker he retreated into a safe space where he can lie and mislead with impunity with no chance anyone ever calls him out to his face again. He got scared and upset and made sure he could rant and rave safely tucked away.

I am thankful that I could be in his studio audience at Comedy Central, and now I am so glad he is back on Apple TV. Here is a person that cares about all of us and humanity. Thank you, John.
honestly i liked jon but was it really that great of a comeback? any child could think of that comeback. it wasnt jon at his best. the monday after this aired when he returned to his show jon apologized to the audience and said he was tired and hungry during this interview. this did not become so funny until the mainstream media made him their darling a few weeks later.
@@Colls515 You can tell by Tucker's reaction how hurt he was by that though. So if that was a childs insult why did a 35 year old man get so triggered by it?
Beck apologized for his part in the fake news movent. A couple of years later he returned to his previous conduct. How do these people look themselves in the mirror? So hateful.
It's easy to laugh along with the audience because he uses humor to communicate what he means, but here I think him saying "You're hurting us... please stop" is 95% free of intended humor.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has revisited this video within this past year. After his return, I kept thinking about how Jon Stewart is Tucker Carlson’s biggest hater, and I appreciate that so much about him. Also, how wild is it that this video was uploaded 18 years ago? If this video was a person, it would be old enough to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. And! This video actually happened 2 years before it was uploaded. That means that Jon Stewart has been publicly shaming Tucker Carlson for being a hack and a trash journalist for TWO DECADES 😭☠️😭
@@julesking1303 yeah looking back Tucker won, Jon Stewart is a hack who uses a fake name and shills propaganda for the elites on mainstream media, meanwhile Tucker gets fired from Fox for telling the Truth, Tucker interviewing Putin was something U.S media refused to do because it would've shown how incompetent biden-harris were compared to Putin.

"Where's your moral outrage on that?" "I don't have any." "I know." Jon Stewart calmly shredding Tucker Carlson to pieces gives me life.
Me too, friend! Stewart shredded Carlson all the time on TDS, and it was a special treat to watch his witty ripostes live. Carlson can dream of thinking that fast on his feet.

I love that Tucker invites Jon onto his political "debate" show and then gets angry at Jon for being argumentative saying: "I wonder what it's like to have dinner with you. You come over to someone's house and lecture them..." etc. It's so infuriating, Jon isn't at a dinner party he's on (what's meant to be) a political debate show and he's trying to explain his reasoning for disliking the show and Tucker is trying to make him seem more aggressive and unreasonable to win the audience back, unfortunately for him, Jon is much more charming and makes better points (though it isn't that hard to make better points than Tucker.)
Honestly John Stewart is the only person on the left that might have the charisma and outsider status to beat JD Vance in 2028,it can’t be an establishment Dem already in office,DNC needs to put up someone RADICALLY unorthodox if they want to win back the people they lost
@@secretname4190 his whole argument is just that the journalists in media have literally failed to do their most basic job of informing people because they would rater drum up ratings through theatre. and how dangerous it is, because it blurs the truth and fosters division and ignorance.

@@MoyaBrennan6825 The United States is a republic not a democracy A democracy has more votes by the people to decide something, whereas a republic will often have beaurocrats and or already elected officials make most decisions rather than the public
Speaking of flip-flops, Tucker is oscillating between ‘you’re not being funny’ and ‘you’re not being serious’ depending on what way the conversation is going. Also Jon’s ‘you must be pretty smart, those things are hard to tie’😆. ‘Damning with faint praise’.
Sort of like how Jon Stewart Ocillates between "I'm a comedy program don't take what I am saying seriously" to "I'm being serious about politics listen to what I am saying" Sort of like how John Oliver is a journalist when it comes to Pulitzer Prize time, but is a comedy show when it comes to people fact checking his work and finding it cherry picked and lacking substance.
@@bobbinsthethirdWhat Stewart's point is, is that his show is entertainment/comedy. Same with John Oliver. It's newsy entertainment. Think a step above Weekend Update. They do not pass themselves off as an actual news program. Whereas Carlson absolutely does, and yet his information is just as cherry picked, and lacking just as much substance, if not more.

I'm pretty sure he did go to journalism school. It didn't make any sense and was just an ad hominem attack for the sake of personally attacking him. Just like the bowtie comment. It's meaningless nonsense. It would've been better if he said "You should go back to journalism school" at least that would make more sense.
Jon Stewart is so so so brilliant, so on point, so incisive in this interview. The bow-tie segment, the ´I’m not your monkey’ line … are now classic …BRILLIANT 🥇🥇🥇
It also broke his salary for a while...Tucker probably thinks about this every so often, even with the seat he's inherited from the disgraced Bill O'Reilly. I think it helped him grow, at least he ditched the bow tie.
"You need to get a job at a journalism school." "You need to go to one." is such an underappreciated joke/roast. If I was Tucker Carlson in that moment, I would have thrown up and left to go cry.

@@TheGr8one1022 The then CEO of Crossfire thought Stewart made sense as he mentioned Stewart's criticisms when he decided to cancel the show and not renew Carlson's contract.
Saw it when it happened, it was incredible because crossfire was so bad, I don't think Jon was solely responsible for its demise because it was really bad to begin with, but I do believe he hastened it. Here we are today with Tucker lying to his audience and promoting a conspiracy he knew was false that encouraged an insurrection. Jon had him pegged long ago.
Whether you disagree with Stewarts point or not, the hosts of Crossfire could not have handled this interview any worse. They were challenged, and instead of engaging in an intelligent discussion they spent the entire interview trying to make jokes, change subject, downplay the perfectly legitimate points Stewart was bringing up. Avoid and dismiss, rather than engage in intelligent discourse, and in doing so they essentially proved Stewarts exact point to be true.
You could just see the hope of having any type of genuine discussion slowly leave Jon during this segment. He didn't come onto to the show to humiliate them or denigrate them. He challenged them on neglecting the responsibility of their position and he did so sincerely. Instead of actually listening to him and opening up a discourse, both hosts immediately became defensive and leaned on the same tactics that Jon had just told them were hurtful.
I'm so aggravated that they never let him finish his answers or points. So rude and obnoxious. And why is it JS's responsibility to ask tough questions on his comedy show?
"hOw ArE yOU holDInG up" Yes Tucker, it's pretty normal for a host of a show to ask basic personal questions opening. Also Jon's show is ultimately comedy, yours was/is not.
It's so goddamn hilarious that they're asking him to be a serious journalist when he's comedian, and the second he tries to take what they're talking about seriously they're like, "Man, I thought you were supposed to be funny."
+Blue Butterfly -- I take it you didn't watch his show before 2001. As Stewart put it himself: "The show in general we feel like is a privilege. Even the idea that we can sit in the back of the country and make wise cracks... which is really what we do. We sit in the back and throw spitballs-but never forgetting that it is a luxury in this country that allows us to do that. That is, a country that allows for open satire, and I know that sounds basic and it sounds like it goes without saying. But that’s really what this whole situation is about. It’s the difference between closed and open. The difference between free and... burdened. And we don’t take that for granted here, by any stretch of the imagination."
Blue Butterfly "if he is just a comedian why was his show always partisan based?" - Because he's a comedian and it shouldn't be expected of him to be non-partisan like a journalist should be. "You can't have it both ways." - WTF are you talking about here? Real journalist can't always be partisan based, comedians most definitely can. "He also challenged them seriously" - Good, he should because they're shitty journalist and he was pointing that out. "yet when Tucker rightly challenged him back he tried to revert back to comedy." - because he's a comedian and not a journalist and Tucker was basically trying to compare journalists with stand up comedians just because they both talk about the news which is ridiculous and should be ridiculed if given the chance.
"Didn't you feel like you got the chance to interview the guy, why not ask him a real question?" -- Tucker Carlson The irony that Carlson just interviewed and Putin and didn't ask him a real question.
@@CB-so8xd I think he was actually pretty polite. The only part he crossed the line was his "dick" comment. Being polite doesn't mean not confronting and calling people out on their bullshit. He did all that, but did it rather politely

@@micah84100 And as Stewart repeatedly stated, he was running a comedy show. A debate format on a political news outlet must hold themselves to a higher standard for the public. All of the major outlets have lost sight of that today.
Hypocrisy needed to be called out, and both parties did that. Nothing wrong in the serious questions shot at Jon Stewart, all of which he thwarted with the ‘but it’s just comedy bro’. Jon fought hard to assume the moral high-ground in this conversation and failed. Love from 🇮🇳. It’s both entertaining and concerning to watch the politics unravel in the USA.
Peter Billings Yes, that is true. But of course, when Jon said that, nobody ever thought that Trump would become president. This was about 10 or 11 years before the 2016 election.
@TheGOAT-hj6sl Keep telling yourself that. Stewart is the guy different networks fight over to have as a host, Comedy Central basically paid a king's ransom to have him come from Apple TV+ While Fucker Carlson has been fired from all the major networks in the country and has to whore himself to Putin to even get a shred of relevance. Ohh yes, much winner, such success, wow.
@TheGOAT-hj6sl Keep telling yourself that if it makes you cope better. At the end of the day, one of these two guys has been coveted by everyone under the sun, with Comedy Central basically paying a king's ransom to have him come over from his gig at Apple TV+ While the other has been fired by every major news network and now has to whore himself to putin for even a shred of relevance. The true loser can be seen from miles away.
This is Jon at his finest. Insightful, charming, and supernaturally quick-witted. He's so clearly correct in his criticisms and so poignant in his words that even the hosts can't seem to find it in themselves to argue against him. I don't think even he realizes to this day the power that his voice carried in its prime. While I deeply respect the fact that he stepped out of public life for his family, I can't help but wonder how much better current society could have been had he stuck around.
I honestly think he couldn't take it anymore. Like legitimately. I think to have his level of intellect and to roll the proverbial stone up the hill through painstaking and devoted efforts just to see x ...or Y...or Z. I just can't imagine what it's like to have his intellect and live in THIS world. I have MY intellect and I live in this world. But if I was HIM ....I mean just look at how he ages. That's not natural. That job was like actually killing him. I just hope I get to meet him some day and grovel at his feet b/c he was my news source for ....like his entire career??
This looks like it may have been the end for Jon too. He probably stepped down after realizing how painfully slow and sometimes futile/pointless pushing for progress is. He realized there would not BE any good change in his lifetime so he would have to make sure his kids were ready to live in the crapshow we have.
So many people missed it but the moment when Carlson said “Ugh I wouldn’t want to eat with you” and Stewart so casually responds “And you won’t.” truly shows the contempt he has for what these media personalities have done to our country
In 2004? Jon Stewart accused both of these guys of being too nice to John Kerry, a Democrat, and then CNN fired them. Fox News couldn't do that now if they wanted to. Tucker Carlson learned how to prevent this: stop being too nice! Get ratings!
The literally summarizes why Crossfire failed. People got tired of the made up theatrical conflict while avoiding actual debate. This was actually noted when they cancelled the show.

Even his Daily Show alumni (Colbert more so than Oliver) and the Daily Show itself have fallen into this trap. Even us bystanders outside of America have chosen sides because of how biased the news is to their side.

@@anthonymagliaro4791 The daily show with Jon Stewart was basically science when it comes to how they constructed every episode. In detail explained why politicians argument and fox news anchors points made no sense. Taped basically every political speech just to show how often politicians flip flop on so many issues. And a lay out of comedy on top of that. There is a reason why this guy is worth more than 80 million, he is a genius.
I see. Its only "fox news anchors" who "made no sense." Not hard to see what side of the aisle your on, and that's fine, but please its not only Fox anchors dear boy..tune in to MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS..these folks on these liberal networks their coverage is over 90% negative of Trump. 90%!..And a lot of what they say doesn't make sense..these networks are basically an arm of the democratic party
Jon Stewart claimed he needed CNN's air time to sell his book, not try to drive down viewership and get their show cancelled. How ridiculous that they were forced to still host him after his true motives were exposed. May somebody parasitically and publicly use you in a similar manner.
because humans do not like change anything that involves change or something that they simply just don't understand instead of becoming curious to seek out the knowledge they become defensive and double down on their almost completely false rhetoric
Unfortunately he used the scapegoat of being a comedian to say what he wanted to say. Why would people take a comedian seriously? Stewart is basically saying that. Don't get me wrong, I like JS.
I used to think Jon really owned these guys but in hindsight it didn’t age as well as I thought and seems incredibly hypocritical to hold these guys feet to the fire so hard while giving the Democrat nominee for President a softball interview.
@@kerrywsmyth The point Stewart was trying to make earlier is that his show was on Comedy Central. Crossfire was on CNN. CNN is an actual news station with responsibilities to report accurate information, and an opportunity to actually grill politicians and ask them the tough questions. When Jon Stewart hosted the Daily Show, he was a comedian first. His job was to make people laugh. Not to ask politicians the hard questions like it should be for shows like Crossfire.
20 years ago this week - I remember my friends all piling together into one dormroom to watch this and even in the moment as it happened it felt like a paradigm shift.
I watched this live, as it happened. I was a huge Stewart fan and was anxiously awaiting his turn on CNN. He did not disappoint. This remains one of my favourite moments in live TV history.
UK here - I heard and read about this episode and how it was cited by the CNN exec team as to why the format was canned in about 12 months. It's a powerful piece of television of exposing why so many journalists are courtiers to the institutions they should be holding to account. I wished we had more high-profile exposure like that in the UK. We still have lazy click-bait soundbites. We even exported John Oliver because our system couldn't accommodate his range. Congrats US, keep giving voice to the guys/gals with courage to speak up.
Ugh the pain in his voice..."please stop, I beg of you please, I beg of you" that gave me chills. He wasn't making jokes he was speaking directly to Tucker to not go down this path and take a huge swath of Americans with him. But here we are. "Please stop, I beg of you" haunting. Now tucker is riding high on a tsunami wave of distrust, racism, fascism , hate/fear mongering, and straight up lies and conspiracy now and it has decimated our country. Jon could see this coming, you can see it in his eyes and he desperately wanted to stop the storm and reason with the beast. But Fox smelled blood and well...man this hurts
@@NotProFishing Why specifically is he a Russian agent? I'm no fan of Tucker Carlson but Russian agent is a term I've heard people called for a while now and not once has it been proven. If anything it's part of the theatre that Jon is warning of here. Surely we can debate instead of slinging mud.

Precisely. Tucker may have managed to become a malignant tumor on Fox, Stewart was fighting everyday for shit that shouldn't have been even up for debate ; The well being of those who fucking died for us, on our soil.
@Tweed Penguin That is what most of them do already, or they just blame it on someone that opposes their ideology. So what is hell is the difference at this stage?
He’s an entertainer who appreciates the role he was fortunate to hold and did something about it. Can’t say the same for the others, especially those on Fox.
shipcity1 Plenty of wealthy people love the sound of their own voice. I can totally picture Trump doing his own radio show/podcast after his presidency.
I don't think he wants to. The last season he did of THE DAILY SHOW was painful. It was still hillarious but you could tell how much it weighed on Jon.
Jon keeps trying to explain to them that this show doesn't provide anything useful to the public, and that it's all theatre and begs them to change and provide more useful information for the public. And they still don't get it and just literally carry on performing the theatre they always do. It's sad to see at the end how he just gave up.
slow poke because a correct message is important regardless of who is delivering it. Jon’s show was a comedy show that contained real information but really shouldn’t have been anybody’s main way to get the news, while crossfire was advertised as two newscasters debating politicians and pressuring them in order to break down their script and get real answers, but it was just partisan theatrics.
@slow poke what he did was dismantle the shows structure by showing that the hosts were really just trying to spin soundbites and deliver gotcha moments without providing anything meaningful through actual debate. By refusing to play their game he showed the network that the show was formulaic and meaningless and their hosts could not handle guests not subscribing to their BS because they don't know how to move the conversation forward without trying to get a rise out of their guest. It showed how incompetent the hosts were and how easily the show could be destroyed by someone with an ounce of backbone.
Oh, I'd actually watch Tucker's show for once if Jon was on for a Round Two. But Jon's a father now, he may not wanna waste his time on that blowhard's shlockfest if it could be spent with his kids.
Tucker seems to have become disgruntled like many others have. He told Tulsi Gabbard "God bless you for suing Google" twice when she was on his show. He also had Luis Elizondo stating that the US government has actual material from an off world craft of unknown origin. Pretty heavy UFO disclosure. This is from someone I have called a "talking head for the establishment" for years. Here are links. No I do not watch him regularly, these vids were referenced to me by Jimmy Dore and Richard Dolan. ruclips.net/video/ZFGAAa91U3o/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Z7-DhPCG_II/видео.html
I think it’s gotten worse since 2004. Is it really a democracy when corporations & billionaires get to dictate policy while we poor hoi polloi get left out?
"I thought you were going to come on and be funny" At that moment he started to panic because he just realised John Stewart was taking them to pieces in a serious way.
Jon showed he was faster, smarter, more grounded, and more principled than Tucker and he literally destroyed the guy on his own show. Tucker, of course, learned nothing and is still the same smarmy, smirking charlatan 17 years later. Jon was truly ahead of his time.
And Tucker took his advice and quit CNN and went to work with an honest news organization. And the left and liberals ignored Jon Stewart. They like him because he is on the left but they don't really listen. CNN was more important to them. Listen to the video again. Jon is saying CNN is a POS news organization. All the left thinks is "Jon is smart...CNN is smart...look how they 'destroy' Tucker". Libtards can't even make the connection in their own brains that Tucker was working for CNN back then.
@@jorgensenmj and now he goes on openly racist rants for minutes at a time fueled by bogus studies written by a man who peer reviews his own papers. Journalistic integrity at its finest. I just posted almost this exact same comment in response to almost the exact same comment.
@@jorgensenmj im sorry... honest news organisation? You mean honest about being completely backwards lying sociopaths whose agenda is to get as many republicans elected as possible in shortest ammount of time and ignoring the ethics and morals just like every other network, then yea if you mean that they are honest.
It indeed has gotten so much worse and no mainstream media organization seems to be interested in improving the way they report news on their 24/7 channels and online, in an effort to make people better informed on the issues they face in their lives, how it impacts them and what is done to improve or why nothing or not enough is done about it. It are the independent news outlets online and some of the late night comedy shows who do a much better job, with a fraction of their budget and mostly relying on the facts reported by smaller (mainstream) news outlets.
I would say this interview shows that he did see it coming to a degree. His point is that when these news shows don’t hold politicians feet to the fire, and dramatize partisan politics it serves the agenda of those that hope to seed distrust and dissension and normalizes absurd, inexcusable behavior. I would think all of which has paved the way for the political climate we see today.
This is honestly a recent yet fascinating piece of history. Foreshadowing how absurdly divided America would be. I could see this being played in an AP US History class in a few decades
I don’t think the people who write history for students are likely to recognize Jon Stewart as a genuine force in media the way they recognize Cronkite, but he will certainly be remembered by actual historians no doubt. His influence both as an artist and as an activist is unparalleled. I was so glad to see him win the Twain Prize
There will be no AP History classes after the 2024 election, a day that will go down the memory hole in infamy. The United States could become a black hole where Nothing Gets Out.
Stewart to Tucker (CNN Crossfire 2004): “You have a responsibility to the public discourse and you’ve failed miserably.” Stewart to Tucker (Fox, 2021): Years later, you’re still irresponsible to public discourse, and you’ve failed every more miserably.
@@AnakinIHateSandSkywalker Taken from wikipedia: "In cooking, a sauce is a liquid, cream, or semi-solid food, served on or used in preparing other foods. Most sauces are not normally consumed by themselves; they add flavor, moisture, and visual appeal to a dish. Sauce is a French word taken from the Latin salsa, meaning salted."
@@sjh2586 that was also fifteen years ago. You think Tucker couldn't beat Stewart's ass now? You're probably too young to know the difference between 35 and 50.
"So I'm a partisan hack, am I? Well then, Stewart, mark my words; I'll be the greatest partisan hack to have ever lived!" It was on this day that Tucker swore he'd never wear a bowtie again.
@CD Smith He contradicts Trump on quite a few things. Yes Carlson is very biased but he at least has boundaries unlike people like Hannity. Carlson is very outspoken about Trumps retarded middle east plans (which I doubt he even actually has plans). Carlson has been running segments on the coronavirus that goes against what trump's been saying. And yes Carlson does usually bring on the worst Democrats or at least terrible Democrat actors to make fun of them but he also brings on people like Tulsi Gabbard when the segments are serious.
@@richfitzgerald833 Tucker is what, 5% fair, the rest is biased. It's an improvement over other Fox hosts, but that doesn't say much considering they are pretty much all partisan hacks. Judge Napolitano is one of the only ones I've seen stand up to Trump more than once and actually admit the truth instead of being a Fox spin doctor like the rest of the Fox crew.
@CD Smith So hey, a person who's literally never watched Tucker's show here, but painting him as completely terrible isn't the best way to open people's eyes to other ideas. I'm not saying ignore his faults, but being so overly confrontational with others over it is really pointless and only serves to hurt the discourse in precisely the way Jon argues against in this video. It furthers a pointless argumentative divide between two sides of a conversation, that instead of being about the topic, and actually addressing issues, instead focuses on petty gripes and non-related points. Tucker exposes people on the right to other ideas from the left, and provides an extra platform to those on the left, from what I've heard. I don't really see the point in making him out to be such an enemy. A friend? Perhaps not. But certainly not the most confrontational of Fox by any means.
Parasitic Jewish Banker I think the change in his rhetoric could be sincere since he likely has more pull at the network OR an attempt by Fox news to give the impression that they aren’t a 100% propaganda machine. John was right it all resembles theatre more than honest opinions, they even used to invite an actress to come on the show as a “crazy liberal” so we could all have a chuckle at her expense. It’s why the 24hr news networks are headed into the ground sooner rather than later. The only people keeping it alive are the older generation
The origin of a super villain. Before this moment of humiliation, Tucker Carlson was just a dweeby, lightweight political hack. This is the moment when something snapped -- and would emerge later as something truly vile.
And now, somehow, there are liberals and progressives (a group I definitely subscribe myself to politically) that are against cancel culture. Against firing peopling for saying racist, sexist, etc. things. Against shunning the filth of our society away back to their swamps. Key among them? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, two people I've had the utmost respect for their role with delivering news that John Stewart was talking about. However, they are going on this weird direction due to their "freedom of speech" radicalism that allows people to get away with hate crimes and being able to keep jobs even after harassment claims. I love em, but it's weird to see the crazy directions that many splinters of the democrat party are going. I agree more with the true leftists now, a group which is nearing pre-war socialism in the 1910s and 20s, a good thing IF we can avoid violence taking root within that movement.
And insecure. His way is a joke. Not a very great example of how young men should behave. And it’s annoying. He’d be kicked out of my dinner party. 🤣🤣🤣
People don't do enough research on their guests. They would have known jon was itching for ca Cisneros to tell them face to face how he feels. Kinda like for the white house correspondents dinner hosted by Michelle wolf who was crass and offensive which is who she is in some respects as a comedian. Or Ricky Gervais for the costars he was very outspoken that he was tired of the celebrity b.s. that comes with the Oscars, so he made sure they'd never hire him again.
"No, I won't be your monkey." What a great line! 2nd favorite, "You're 35 and wear a bowtie. You must be intellegent, those things are hard to tie." Pure gold. The man's a comic genius.
I will never, ever get tired of, "The show leading onto mine is puppets making crank phone calls. What is WRONG with you?"
God we need him back so badly.
@@janesmith1840 Agree. He was so on point.
Trevor is as well
@@hugoboss8550 Trevor Noah's team simply doesn't do the same level of deep, thorough research that Jon Stewart's team was popular for. I used to learn things when I watched Jon Stewart. Things about VA backlogs and digitization, things about the Zadroga bill.
Trevor, on the other hand: you could skim the headlines on Google News and learn everything of substance Trevor Noah was about to tell you. He's charming and funny, and his Between the Scenes segments are gold, but when people call Jon Stewart, "sharp," or "on point," I don't think they're referring to how funny or entertaining he was or how clever his take on today's headlines.
At least for me, when I say stuff like "Jon Stewart was incredible, and we need someone like him," I'm talking about how Jon Stewart was always trying to take his opponents' side. In fact, he would continue trying to take their side -- researching their arguments -- until the absurdities piled up and it became clear that his subject was not even trying to take their own side. Once he reached that point, he would rip the person to shreds, but not a moment before. And he would get his material from someplace other than, "current, trending news."
As much as I hate to say it, I think it’s a bit of a cop-out for Jon to use that excuse. He turned a comedy show into a show with integrity and a soul. The fact that they are a comedy show doesn’t mean they can’t be hard hitting, because they were in many instances. In Tucker’s part, he’s obviously deflecting, but he’s also right.
Jon’s point is far more important, though.
"You need to get a job at a journalism school."
"And you need to go to one."

Appreciate the link.
I wonder how much of what Klein said was PR, given that in my humble estimation there aren’t a lot of hard news shows on CNN in 2019. It’s still a lot of 4-6 guest punditry, which is honestly wrong for basically the same reason as Stewart said on live TV and Klein confirmed later. Interesting though
Wow... That's pretty crazy...
My favourite thing is how calm Stewart is. Everyone else is fighting to get a point in and bickering and he sounds like he is 2 blunts in.

He's totally focused and can't be shaken from his points and determination. It's admirable and enviable to be able to argue like this.
Now Jon Stewarts career is in the shits and he had to come back to his old show because could make it on his own. Tucker Carlson is now one of the biggest guys in political news. Him being fired from Fox was the best thing for Tucker.
@havu2236 Jon's career is nowhere near the shits. He does what he chooses to at this point. He came back because these same issues are worse than ever.

Also, how wild is it that this video was uploaded 18 years ago? If this video was a person, it would be old enough to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

I'm pretty sure he did go to journalism school. It didn't make any sense and was just an ad hominem attack for the sake of personally attacking him. Just like the bowtie comment. It's meaningless nonsense. It would've been better if he said "You should go back to journalism school" at least that would make more sense.
Jon Stewart is so so so brilliant, so on point, so incisive in this interview. The bow-tie segment, the ´I’m not your monkey’ line … are now classic …BRILLIANT 🥇🥇🥇

You can see how it broke something inside of him.
I'd pay thousands for a rematch
It was the bow tie comment
😅😅😅😅😅 Excellent. 👍
It also broke his salary for a while...Tucker probably thinks about this every so often, even with the seat he's inherited from the disgraced Bill O'Reilly. I think it helped him grow, at least he ditched the bow tie.
I love how Tucker Carlson can't hide just how much Stewart got under his skin. I think he totally lost it after the bow tie comment.

@@odysseus1220 Right? How thin skinned do you have to be to take that bait?

And I love how people think low brow ad hominem insults indicate that he “won” in the conversation...
Oh I see. So Stewart won because you think he has arguments? Or you think he’s more mature than Carlson because he had something beyond the insults?
"You need to get a job at a journalism school." "You need to go to one." is such an underappreciated joke/roast. If I was Tucker Carlson in that moment, I would have thrown up and left to go cry.

🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈😅
Whether you disagree with Stewarts point or not, the hosts of Crossfire could not have handled this interview any worse. They were challenged, and instead of engaging in an intelligent discussion they spent the entire interview trying to make jokes, change subject, downplay the perfectly legitimate points Stewart was bringing up. Avoid and dismiss, rather than engage in intelligent discourse, and in doing so they essentially proved Stewarts exact point to be true.
You could just see the hope of having any type of genuine discussion slowly leave Jon during this segment. He didn't come onto to the show to humiliate them or denigrate them. He challenged them on neglecting the responsibility of their position and he did so sincerely. Instead of actually listening to him and opening up a discourse, both hosts immediately became defensive and leaned on the same tactics that Jon had just told them were hurtful.
it's why he thanked them for being am example
Very true jon stuart was a beast of truth here
I'm so aggravated that they never let him finish his answers or points. So rude and obnoxious. And why is it JS's responsibility to ask tough questions on his comedy show?
"hOw ArE yOU holDInG up" Yes Tucker, it's pretty normal for a host of a show to ask basic personal questions opening. Also Jon's show is ultimately comedy, yours was/is not.
It's so goddamn hilarious that they're asking him to be a serious journalist when he's comedian, and the second he tries to take what they're talking about seriously they're like, "Man, I thought you were supposed to be funny."
+Blue Butterfly -- I take it you didn't watch his show before 2001. As Stewart put it himself:
"The show in general we feel like is a privilege. Even the idea that we can sit in the back of the country and make wise cracks... which is really what we do. We sit in the back and throw spitballs-but never forgetting that it is a luxury in this country that allows us to do that. That is, a country that allows for open satire, and I know that sounds basic and it sounds like it goes without saying. But that’s really what this whole situation is about. It’s the difference between closed and open. The difference between free and... burdened. And we don’t take that for granted here, by any stretch of the imagination."
Blue Butterfly
"if he is just a comedian why was his show always partisan based?" - Because he's a comedian and it shouldn't be expected of him to be non-partisan like a journalist should be.
"You can't have it both ways." - WTF are you talking about here? Real journalist can't always be partisan based, comedians most definitely can.
"He also challenged them seriously" - Good, he should because they're shitty journalist and he was pointing that out.
"yet when Tucker rightly challenged him back he tried to revert back to comedy." - because he's a comedian and not a journalist and Tucker was basically trying to compare journalists with stand up comedians just because they both talk about the news which is ridiculous and should be ridiculed if given the chance.
... all while the audience is laughing throughout.

Yeah when he said that, it was just too on the nose.
Peter Billings Yes, that is true. But of course, when Jon said that, nobody ever thought that Trump would become president. This was about 10 or 11 years before the 2016 election.
That bowtie remark must have really REALLY hurt, considering he never wore a bowtie ever again.
@TheGOAT-hj6sl Keep telling yourself that.
Stewart is the guy different networks fight over to have as a host, Comedy Central basically paid a king's ransom to have him come from Apple TV+
While Fucker Carlson has been fired from all the major networks in the country and has to whore himself to Putin to even get a shred of relevance.
Ohh yes, much winner, such success, wow.
@TheGOAT-hj6sl Keep telling yourself that if it makes you cope better.
At the end of the day, one of these two guys has been coveted by everyone under the sun, with Comedy Central basically paying a king's ransom to have him come over from his gig at Apple TV+
While the other has been fired by every major news network and now has to whore himself to putin for even a shred of relevance.
The true loser can be seen from miles away.
This is Jon at his finest. Insightful, charming, and supernaturally quick-witted. He's so clearly correct in his criticisms and so poignant in his words that even the hosts can't seem to find it in themselves to argue against him.
I don't think even he realizes to this day the power that his voice carried in its prime. While I deeply respect the fact that he stepped out of public life for his family, I can't help but wonder how much better current society could have been had he stuck around.
I honestly think he couldn't take it anymore. Like legitimately. I think to have his level of intellect and to roll the proverbial stone up the hill through painstaking and devoted efforts just to see x ...or Y...or Z. I just can't imagine what it's like to have his intellect and live in THIS world. I have MY intellect and I live in this world. But if I was HIM ....I mean just look at how he ages. That's not natural. That job was like actually killing him. I just hope I get to meet him some day and grovel at his feet b/c he was my news source for ....like his entire career??
This looks like it may have been the end for Jon too. He probably stepped down after realizing how painfully slow and sometimes futile/pointless pushing for progress is. He realized there would not BE any good change in his lifetime so he would have to make sure his kids were ready to live in the crapshow we have.
Everything you said about Stewart is true but he never could have changed anything.
@@sarahoshea9603 ummmm I think he did this for like 15 more years after this was filmed?
I think about that last point way too often then I'd care to admit.
So many people missed it but the moment when Carlson said “Ugh I wouldn’t want to eat with you” and Stewart so casually responds “And you won’t.” truly shows the contempt he has for what these media personalities have done to our country
In 2004? Jon Stewart accused both of these guys of being too nice to John Kerry, a Democrat, and then CNN fired them. Fox News couldn't do that now if they wanted to. Tucker Carlson learned how to prevent this: stop being too nice! Get ratings!

Even his Daily Show alumni (Colbert more so than Oliver) and the Daily Show itself have fallen into this trap.
Even us bystanders outside of America have chosen sides because of how biased the news is to their side.

because humans do not like change anything that involves change or something that they simply just don't understand instead of becoming curious to seek out the knowledge they become defensive and double down on their almost completely false rhetoric
Unfortunately he used the scapegoat of being a comedian to say what he wanted to say. Why would people take a comedian seriously? Stewart is basically saying that. Don't get me wrong, I like JS.
I used to think Jon really owned these guys but in hindsight it didn’t age as well as I thought and seems incredibly hypocritical to hold these guys feet to the fire so hard while giving the Democrat nominee for President a softball interview.
We are told not to listen.
Our being blinded by false patriotism, propaganda, and idealism helps to keep those in power in power.
@@kerrywsmyth The point Stewart was trying to make earlier is that his show was on Comedy Central. Crossfire was on CNN. CNN is an actual news station with responsibilities to report accurate information, and an opportunity to actually grill politicians and ask them the tough questions.
When Jon Stewart hosted the Daily Show, he was a comedian first. His job was to make people laugh. Not to ask politicians the hard questions like it should be for shows like Crossfire.
20 years ago this week - I remember my friends all piling together into one dormroom to watch this and even in the moment as it happened it felt like a paradigm shift.
The follow up on the bow tie jab: "...those aren't easy to tie." That was absolute gold.
Unless you’re Bill Nye or Matt Smith, it’s hard to make bow ties cool.
It was a clip-on.
"Jon Stewart's at the gate. Should we let him in?"
"He's just one comedian. What could he possibly do?"
"Alright, but why does he have a shovel?"
I watched this live, as it happened. I was a huge Stewart fan and was anxiously awaiting his turn on CNN. He did not disappoint. This remains one of my favourite moments in live TV history.
UK here - I heard and read about this episode and how it was cited by the CNN exec team as to why the format was canned in about 12 months. It's a powerful piece of television of exposing why so many journalists are courtiers to the institutions they should be holding to account. I wished we had more high-profile exposure like that in the UK. We still have lazy click-bait soundbites. We even exported John Oliver because our system couldn't accommodate his range. Congrats US, keep giving voice to the guys/gals with courage to speak up.
Ugh the pain in his voice..."please stop, I beg of you please, I beg of you" that gave me chills. He wasn't making jokes he was speaking directly to Tucker to not go down this path and take a huge swath of Americans with him. But here we are. "Please stop, I beg of you" haunting. Now tucker is riding high on a tsunami wave of distrust, racism, fascism , hate/fear mongering, and straight up lies and conspiracy now and it has decimated our country. Jon could see this coming, you can see it in his eyes and he desperately wanted to stop the storm and reason with the beast. But Fox smelled blood and well...man this hurts

I don't think he wants to. The last season he did of THE DAILY SHOW was painful. It was still hillarious but you could tell how much it weighed on Jon.
Jon keeps trying to explain to them that this show doesn't provide anything useful to the public, and that it's all theatre and begs them to change and provide more useful information for the public. And they still don't get it and just literally carry on performing the theatre they always do. It's sad to see at the end how he just gave up.
Tucker certainly did, Paul at least looked like he was trying to listen and learn.
slow poke because a correct message is important regardless of who is delivering it. Jon’s show was a comedy show that contained real information but really shouldn’t have been anybody’s main way to get the news, while crossfire was advertised as two newscasters debating politicians and pressuring them in order to break down their script and get real answers, but it was just partisan theatrics.
slow poke if you have a critic of something, take it to the platform itself. Might as well state your case direct to the source.
slow poke he had a problem, with the show. He went, to the show (the source) and stated his problem, directly, on the show itself.
@slow poke what he did was dismantle the shows structure by showing that the hosts were really just trying to spin soundbites and deliver gotcha moments without providing anything meaningful through actual debate. By refusing to play their game he showed the network that the show was formulaic and meaningless and their hosts could not handle guests not subscribing to their BS because they don't know how to move the conversation forward without trying to get a rise out of their guest. It showed how incompetent the hosts were and how easily the show could be destroyed by someone with an ounce of backbone.

Almost but for 10:42

"Gonna be tough to top this current administration"
Boy Jon Stewart, we never saw it coming lol
I caught that. The GOP's dear cult leader Grand Wizard Führer Cheeto Caligula topped it in orders of magnitude.
Literally was saying “just you wait, Jon Stewart, just you wait.”
Bush administration is still undefeated for overall damage.
It indeed has gotten so much worse and no mainstream media organization seems to be interested in improving the way they report news on their 24/7 channels and online, in an effort to make people better informed on the issues they face in their lives, how it impacts them and what is done to improve or why nothing or not enough is done about it.
It are the independent news outlets online and some of the late night comedy shows who do a much better job, with a fraction of their budget and mostly relying on the facts reported by smaller (mainstream) news outlets.
I would say this interview shows that he did see it coming to a degree. His point is that when these news shows don’t hold politicians feet to the fire, and dramatize partisan politics it serves the agenda of those that hope to seed distrust and dissension and normalizes absurd, inexcusable behavior. I would think all of which has paved the way for the political climate we see today.
Puppets making crank phone calls, gets me every time😂.
"Sometimes the people who aren't allowed to win are the ones allowed to talk most freely"
Haunts me with how much it resonates.
Except for Ron Paul.
This is honestly a recent yet fascinating piece of history. Foreshadowing how absurdly divided America would be. I could see this being played in an AP US History class in a few decades
Well except for the fact that AP courses are right wing propaganda factories
This will be mentioned on the APUSH AP test by 2030
I don’t think the people who write history for students are likely to recognize Jon Stewart as a genuine force in media the way they recognize Cronkite, but he will certainly be remembered by actual historians no doubt. His influence both as an artist and as an activist is unparalleled. I was so glad to see him win the Twain Prize
this was literally shown to me in college in a class about political psychology lol
There will be no AP History classes after the 2024 election, a day that will go down the memory hole in infamy. The United States could become a black hole where Nothing Gets Out.
Jon: What do you think? Where's your moral outrage?
Tucker: [laughing] I don't have any.
Jon: I know
💀 atomized
Jon in 2004: It would be hard to top this group.
Donald Trump: Hold my NDA.
Stewart to Tucker (CNN Crossfire 2004): “You have a responsibility to the public discourse and you’ve failed miserably.”
Stewart to Tucker (Fox, 2021): Years later, you’re still irresponsible to public discourse, and you’ve failed every more miserably.

@@AnakinIHateSandSkywalker Taken from wikipedia: "In cooking, a sauce is a liquid, cream, or semi-solid food, served on or used in preparing other foods. Most sauces are not normally consumed by themselves; they add flavor, moisture, and visual appeal to a dish. Sauce is a French word taken from the Latin salsa, meaning salted."
Tucker: I wouldn’t want to eat with you
John: Don’t worry, you won’t

It's 2019, lady. There's a reason why Tucker Carlson has one of the highest rates show on cable news and Jon Stewart is a has-been.
@@patricklindsay72 lmao carlson got DUSTED by stewart, he's so dumb he didn't even realize he was being insulted
@@sjh2586 that was also fifteen years ago. You think Tucker couldn't beat Stewart's ass now? You're probably too young to know the difference between 35 and 50.

“And you wear a bow tie”
This is Tucker’s origin story of how he became a full fledged villain
Yes, but you misspelled 'asshole'.
I'd like this reply, but it's sitting at 666 upvotes, and I just can't.
"So I'm a partisan hack, am I? Well then, Stewart, mark my words; I'll be the greatest partisan hack to have ever lived!"
It was on this day that Tucker swore he'd never wear a bowtie again.
So he was always obnoxious... bow tie or not
@@coopersdad3811 😂😂😂
The best part of this is that Jon is still, to this very day, clasping his hands together yelling “Please stop” and they’re not.
“How do you pay?”
“Not well. But you can sleep at night.”
Low-key the best personal jab at everything Tucker Carlson is.
Still to this day
@CD Smith He contradicts Trump on quite a few things. Yes Carlson is very biased but he at least has boundaries unlike people like Hannity. Carlson is very outspoken about Trumps retarded middle east plans (which I doubt he even actually has plans). Carlson has been running segments on the coronavirus that goes against what trump's been saying. And yes Carlson does usually bring on the worst Democrats or at least terrible Democrat actors to make fun of them but he also brings on people like Tulsi Gabbard when the segments are serious.
@@richfitzgerald833 Tucker is what, 5% fair, the rest is biased. It's an improvement over other Fox hosts, but that doesn't say much considering they are pretty much all partisan hacks. Judge Napolitano is one of the only ones I've seen stand up to Trump more than once and actually admit the truth instead of being a Fox spin doctor like the rest of the Fox crew.
@CD Smith So hey, a person who's literally never watched Tucker's show here, but painting him as completely terrible isn't the best way to open people's eyes to other ideas. I'm not saying ignore his faults, but being so overly confrontational with others over it is really pointless and only serves to hurt the discourse in precisely the way Jon argues against in this video. It furthers a pointless argumentative divide between two sides of a conversation, that instead of being about the topic, and actually addressing issues, instead focuses on petty gripes and non-related points.
Tucker exposes people on the right to other ideas from the left, and provides an extra platform to those on the left, from what I've heard. I don't really see the point in making him out to be such an enemy. A friend? Perhaps not. But certainly not the most confrontational of Fox by any means.
Parasitic Jewish Banker I think the change in his rhetoric could be sincere since he likely has more pull at the network OR an attempt by Fox news to give the impression that they aren’t a 100% propaganda machine.
John was right it all resembles theatre more than honest opinions, they even used to invite an actress to come on the show as a “crazy liberal” so we could all have a chuckle at her expense. It’s why the 24hr news networks are headed into the ground sooner rather than later. The only people keeping it alive are the older generation
The origin of a super villain. Before this moment of humiliation, Tucker Carlson was just a dweeby, lightweight political hack. This is the moment when something snapped -- and would emerge later as something truly vile.
You say what you want about me. But you leave THE BOWTIE ALONE!
Little did we know his bow tie was holding back the true monster within
This was Tucker Carlson's awakening. He went from zombified religious conservative to somebody in the know about the Chosen tribe.
@@Dawn737 what does that mean
Stay mad, commie.
You should retitle this video to "Jon Stewart cancels Crossfire."
Literally. He LITERALLY got it cancelled.
Hahahahha
And now, somehow, there are liberals and progressives (a group I definitely subscribe myself to politically) that are against cancel culture. Against firing peopling for saying racist, sexist, etc. things. Against shunning the filth of our society away back to their swamps.
Key among them? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, two people I've had the utmost respect for their role with delivering news that John Stewart was talking about. However, they are going on this weird direction due to their "freedom of speech" radicalism that allows people to get away with hate crimes and being able to keep jobs even after harassment claims. I love em, but it's weird to see the crazy directions that many splinters of the democrat party are going. I agree more with the true leftists now, a group which is nearing pre-war socialism in the 1910s and 20s, a good thing IF we can avoid violence taking root within that movement.

SAVAGE
Tucker Carlson's laugh is truly scary. It's not jovial. It's aggressive. It's an offensive tactic.
And insecure. His way is a joke. Not a very great example of how young men should behave. And it’s annoying. He’d be kicked out of my dinner party. 🤣🤣🤣
saw him do that exact same laugh today while talking about the Chauvin verdict with that former police officer
Cause it's fake.
Everything about him makes me think of an abuser, that laugh of his sends chills down my spine
@@ycart3285 not a bad observation. The insecurities with false bravado... His classically elitist frat boy clothes.. It's all a disguise...
Tucker had the stupidity to say, "I thought you were gonna be funny"
His bow tie got a laugh. He didn't.
you can't think straight while you are having strong emotions. the mother tucker just was very sad to learn that jon has so much antipathy for him
People don't do enough research on their guests. They would have known jon was itching for ca Cisneros to tell them face to face how he feels. Kinda like for the white house correspondents dinner hosted by Michelle wolf who was crass and offensive which is who she is in some respects as a comedian. Or Ricky Gervais for the costars he was very outspoken that he was tired of the celebrity b.s. that comes with the Oscars, so he made sure they'd never hire him again.
"No, I won't be your monkey." What a great line! 2nd favorite, "You're 35 and wear a bowtie. You must be intellegent, those things are hard to tie." Pure gold. The man's a comic genius.
I can’t think of another time a guest came on a show and then basically ended the entire show
