I honestly think Stewart's refusal to pretend Biden was still ok was instrumental in getting him to step down

All the "serious" news closed ranks for him, and even cable late shows like Colbert cracked a few jokes but still backed him.

Stewart was one of the few with the balls to say the bus was headed off a cliff and we needed to slam the brakes now instead of hoping we could land the jump.

I'm so glad he's back right now. I never got into the Trevor Noah version of the show, it was just a different show.

Yeah, he's not funny and has a massive chip on his shoulder. In fact I think that's why he's not funny.

His standups are funny, and reportedly after the show his Q&A sessions talking with the audience were razor-sharp. But yeah, behind the desk, he really just wasn't a good "fit". I would give some other show with him a solid chance though.
