Yo Man……..
News hit last night that Jon Stewart aka Mr. Giving Ya The New News Since ’99 aka The Ally Gawd will be hanging up the jersey and leaving The Daily Show. The Daily Show, although not specifically a nerd show, had became so heavily routed in pop culture via their style to journalism and reporting the news that we would be remiss if we didn’t talk about how this feels like hearing that your cool friend is moving out of state. Sure you’ll keep in contact but god damn man, things gone change for real. I remember when Daily Show use to be hosted by Craig Kilborn and then Jon Stewart came in and just changed the fucking game. I recognized him from his stand up (a special that even my mom enjoyed) and I don’t even fuck with news or politics like that, but after watching an episode, then another, and another I came to see that Stewart’s style and the shows format made it so easy to digest without all the nuance and pretentiousness.
My man never missed a beat either and he became this figure? Icon? Avatar: The Last Reporter Not Blowing Smoke Up your Ass? Front-man for older liberals and a new generation of young teenagers /adults that was fucking trustworthy man. You know he made waves cause the dude so coy and mild mannered but every other news stations sees him as if he’s Ric Flair The Dirtiest Player in The Game. Nah, Jon just one of the most honest and likable. Remember that time he called Hannity a dick on dude’s own show!?!? That boy Stewart ain’t ever liiiiiiii…
