February 11, 201511 yr comment_1430288 Jamie may enjoy this humor, but if anyone follows college basketball close enough, they will get the reference: VCU Pav @VCUPav 9h9 hours ago If George Mason was Comedy Central, who would they hire to replace Jon Stewart? VCU Pav retweeted Fire Paul Hewitt @FirePaulHewitt 48m48 minutes ago @VCUPav Jason Alexander - he has never been funny but he continues to get paid because people remember that George Costanza was funny.

February 11, 201511 yr comment_1430289 What I hate about the news is so few want to report the news anymore. They just want to give you their opinion of the news. And that goes for both sides. Report

February 11, 201511 yr Author comment_1430334 Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich I’m sorry Jon Stewart is stepping down as host of “The Daily Show” after a 16-year run in which he did more to reveal right-wing (and some centrist and right-wing) hypocrisy than anyone else I know. He has shown how satire can be more truthful than pompous displays of righteousness, how humor can be more powerful than high office, and how quiet indignation about the stupid partisan yelling matches that have become cable “news” can bring producers to their senses and even cause shows to be cancelled. For the millennials I teach (and for many others), he’s the most trusted source of news. I really don’t care what happens to NBC’s Brian Williams. But Jon Stewart leaving “The Daily Show” is a genuine loss. Report
