obby Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Broken link guys!!!!!!!Where you refering to this ????JON STEWART 'DAILY SHOW' IN SURPRISE AUDIENCE -- DROPSun Oct 17 2004 20:30:24 ETCOMEDY CENTRAL's 'DAILY SHOW' has experienced surprise audience erosion -- despite a publicity push by host Jon Stewart.Stewart, who announced last week that he plans to support John Kerry, pulled 1,040,000 total viewers for the month of September -- down 7% from August, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.Jumbo hype from media writers and a bestselling book apparently have failed to translate into any TV audience improvement. MORE CNN editors were busy this weekend cleaning up a transcript from Stewart's Friday appearance on CROSSFIRE. One CNN executive called Stewart's performace "belligerent."During the live program, Stewart slammed host Tucker Carlson: "You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show."The awkward exchange came at the end of an 8 minute segment between Stewart, Carlson and co-host Paul Begala.***CARLSON: You had John Kerry on your show and you sniff his throne and you're accusing us of partisan hackery? STEWART: Absolutely.CARLSON: ...you have this marvelous opportunity not to be the guy's butt boy, to go ahead and be his butt boy. Come on. It's embarrassing.STEWART: I was absolutely his butt boy. I was so far -- you would not believe what he ate two weeks ago. STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably. CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think. STEWART: You need to go to one. The thing that I want to say is, when you have people on for just knee-jerk, reactionary talk...CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny. STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey. BEGALA: Go ahead. Go ahead.STEWART: I watch your show every day. And it kills me. CARLSON: I can tell you love it. STEWART: It's so -- oh, it's so painful to watch...CARLSON: Is this really Jon Stewart? What is this, anyway?STEWART: Yes, it's someone who watches your show and cannot take it anymore. I just can't. CARLSON: What's it like to have dinner with you? It must be excruciating. Do you like lecture people like this or do you come over to their house and sit and lecture them; they're not doing the right thing, that they're missing their opportunities, evading their responsibilities?CARLSON: I wouldn't want to eat with you, man. That's horrible.STEWART: I know. And you won't.***Before appearing on CNN, Stewart blasted reporter and CROSSFIRE co-host Bob Novak."I would not have him on the show. I have standards," Stewart explained to the NEW YORKER's Ken Auletta. "I wouldn't do it. He shouldn't be on television. CNN should not have him on the air. He should not be amongst civilized people."
