I generally find Stewart too deferential when face-to-face with politicians, but he's almost always at his comedic best when dealing with the media and its talking heads, like with Tucker Carlson, Chris Matthews and here, his takedown/sendup of Glenn Beck and this week's news that Beck's leaving FOX.
"Glenn Beck still had the third highest show in cable news ... Maybe Fox News thought it would be useful to pick some random talk radio host rehashing all same tired old John Birch Society conspiracy theories to seed ultra-conservative viewpoints into the news cycle, while making the rest of the network seem centrist by comparison. But, he then began to believe his own messianic delusions and became a giant pain in the ass. So they dropped his ass."
