    Ok, really guys, picking who is better between Colbert and Stewart is like deciding would you like a blowjob and then to be given a million dollars, or to be given a million dollars and then a blowjob.

    not particularly

    colbert has far less new york jew in him

    Love Stewbeef, love Colbert, wondering whether the Jon Oliver show will be worth watching.

    Did you just complain about Stewart not letting people speak in interviews in comparison to Colbert?

    Oh God, I know.

    That said, I do like the Colbert Report.

    Stewart is an incredibly self-centered interviewer.
    Colbert has an excuse to be a narcissistic blowhard, and he still does a better job of getting the guest's message out there.

    I don't know where you're getting the self-centered from, it feels very much like he's just trying to understand his guest's position better (when you're talking about arguementive interviews)

    There was an interview with Tony Blair I think it was where he just talked about what he thought about Iraq the whole time, and refused to let Blair even say anything.

    Personally I really prefer Colbert's style of needling somebody he likes into answering stupid questions in a smart way over Stewart whining to famous people he doesn't agree with.

    Jon has been way too preachy lately. Don't get me wrong, he can be really funny, while being preachy. But lately it has been less funny, more preachy.

    Stewart has some interviews where he talks lots, and then he has lots of interviews where he can barely get a word in the entire time. Sometimes he goes too easy on his guests, but then again it's probably hard enough booking that many celebrities and powerful public figures for a ten minute interview that will air at 11:00pm on a weekday night without them being terribly worried about what they might have to answer to.

    basically yeah
    Nailed 'Em is awesome.

    Jon has been way too preachy lately. Don't get me wrong, he can be really funny, while being preachy. But lately it has been less funny, more preachy.

    he's also been doing the 'common sense is always right' sort of thing which has been annoying me, especially with respect to economic matters and the oil spill

    I know it's mostly facetious, but it's still really annoying. Dealing with a broken pipe a kilometre and a half under the sea is not common sense stuff.

    I was questioning why I was watching it too

    until the part where

    then it had its hooks in me and I was enthralled.

    no you watch that movie mainly for the cinematography

    Yeah he's more fair with non-famous people he disagrees with but sometimes it's ok like when he basically told Chris Matthews his book was a shitty rip-off of The Prince.

    Stewart is an incredibly self-centered interviewer.

    This is pretty much what meant. Colbert makes no attempt to be serious in his interviews, so if he cuts people off or acts silly he's doing it in character. I think that's funny. Stewart sometimes tries to be preachy and stand up for justice and all that, and gets too serious on a satire show.

    That being said, I love both shows, and the interviews are quite often entertaining and informative.

    Also, what's this about Jon Oliver?

    According to the D&D TDS/TCR thread, she's known for being on G4. "Attack of the show" or some shit? I dunno, I've never watched it, but apparently they'd use her at least once a week doing something overtly sexual and played up the eye-candy aspect.

    She didn't wow me, but I didn't feel the bit was terrible either. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more segments to see if she can find her groove in the show.
