I really did used to enjoy Stewart; he's a bright, genuinely clever bloke. I began to tune out when it became clear that his program was going the "All BDS, All The Time" route.
During the campaign, he became altogether unwatchable: for every good-humored dig at Obama, there were at least 10 genuinely hostile attacks on...well...everyone else. It had long-since started to bend, until finally it broke.
I am genuinely curious about what will happen to the show, now that The One has ascended. If this clip is any indication, I might just tune in from time to time.
Meh. Probably not.
Colbert is an aggressively unfunny blockhead, whose broad parody of Bill O'Reilly (who does a perfectly serviceable job of parodying himself!) is about as much fun as taking too much caffeine and listening to Cher's greatest hits on headphones.
Yeah, he's really worth watching (along with Colbert). Consistently hilarious and probably the most informative news programs on TV.

Oops, I forgot. Republicans aren't allowed to have a sense of humor :).
