Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free _Mother Jones Daily_. I guess I’m curious about something. How many of you think Jon Stewart
made the right decision stepping down from the _Daily Show_? I’m reluctant to say this because I’ve long been such a pretty devoted follower, but the truth is that Marian and I gradually
stopped watching him last year. It wasn’t any single thing, or any big change in what he did. It was just a growing sense that we weren’t really laughing as much as we used to. There were
still good bits, and the correspondents still had their moments, but they were fewer and farther between than in the past. Are there others who feel the same way? I don’t want to turn this
thread into a pile-on, especially if you happen to be someone who’s never liked Stewart’s brand of comedy. I’ve always been a big fan. But over the past year he seems to have lost a lot of
his edge. Or is it just me?
