    He had one or two good bits in there, but man…I haven’t watched him recently, and I think that he’s a lot weaker in 2024 than he was during his first time around.

    Like, I remember him doing a beautiful video montage a few times that had people “debating” their past selves, where they made inconsistent statements. I feel like that really added to the discussion. He could make a point and do so humorously.

    He got the accolades he did for improving the political discussion from just a comedy show.

    But most of this was pretty meh, IMHO.

    That being said, I don’t know who’s writing for him these days. And his team didn’t have a lot of lead time to cover the debate, so I can kind of understand there not being a lot of great material there. Maybe they’ll have more-meaty stuff on the debate in a day or so.

      His jokes were amazing. The only difference is that he’s also started attacking Democrats since they’re basically 2000 Republicans as well.

      It’s understandable that many Democrats don’t enjoy Stewart making fun of right-wingers anymore.
