1. That was a thing of beauty. eom

[Supersedeas]

2. classic -- hope the shiny happy beancounting powdered-face anchor shills at CNBC

like the attention they are getting now

[newtothegame]

33. Unfortunately I doubt they were watching. Or caring.

Smackdowns do little good if you're preaching to the choir, instead of your target.

[JitterbugPerfume]

3. Jon Stewart

:loveya:

that was devastating to CNBC!

[havocmom]

4. Thanks for posting that, sis

No TV last night and everybody on DU was RAVING about Stewart.

[Warpy]

5. Those clips were the best I've seen of his show

because he completely exposed those yappers for who and what they are and who they're serving. Hint: it's not the small investor.

FWIW, I had a little sympathy for Santelli because those guys on the floor of the Dow aren't the boys making millions. They're the entry level guys who are in hock up to their eyeballs for their educations, their crap studio lofts in Soho, and everything else including the clothes on their backs. They're working on the expectation that they'll rise off the floor and into the carpeted areas and the big money. They think HGTV is reality and that silly people who overpaid for granite lined kitchens don't deserve anything but a boot in the ass.

Stewart likely realizes this too, and would have treated him respectfully as he treats most of his guests.

Pulling Santelli has to be one of the biggest tactical blunders since McCain lied to Letterman about canceling his appearance. You can blow off almost anything, but blowing off a comedic wit is not smart, at all.

24. Do not meddle in the affairs of comedians

For they are subtle and quick to anger.

[Fresh_Start]

6. just wow nt

[DearAbby]

7. The man is a genius

Rips them apart with a smile.

[jkshaw]

8. Just watched it again with my husband,

what a treasure Jon Stewart is. It was not only a takedown, but a lesson in what not to listen to. Ever.

[pansypoo53219]

15. or go opposite on.

whatever CNBC says, so other.

[me b zola]

9. Hopefully it will do for cnbc what Jon's smack down did for Crossfire

I was applauding last night when I saw the show. This smack down needs a lot of attention.

[RandomThoughts]

10. As a metaphor, I keep thinking of the line

From Saving Private Ryan

"Flame! Doyle! Do It!"

Way to Light 'em up John Stewart!

[underpants]

11. Entire show VIDEOS here

12. thanks, UP

;)

[SOS]

13. K n R

for anyone who missed it.
Had on tape and watched it 3 times.
Brilliant.
PS: Jon, next time please hammer that idiot Kudlow!

[Lost in CT]

14. Brilliant simply brilliant... nt

[mike_c]

16. that was truly awesome....

Wow!

[burythehatchet]

17. Until last night, the Tucker Carlson bar-b-q was the best roasting ever.

Last night Rick Santelli was put on a spit.

[MindMatter]

19. Later in the show, he commented that

CNBC missing this so badly, in their area of supposed expertise, is equivalent to the Weather Channel interviewing Hurricane Katrina. He did a mock interview with Katrina. "Hurricane Katrina, I hear you may be packing death and destruction. Is that true?" Katrina: "Oh no, I'm fair and sunny." JS: "Well, OK then."

That was hilarious.

[truebrit71]

36. That whole show was hysterical...

...

[JFN1]

18. Oh, I don't know if it is his absolute best

Don't get me wrong, it's way, way up there. But I think he did just as well - if not better - when he was on Crossfire. Wasn't it about two weeks later that show went away, and Tucker Carlson went looking for a new gig? I still love that...go Jon!!

[ixion]

20. outstanding... he exposed the CNBC folks for the shills that they are

One can only hope they'll suffer the same fate as Tucker Carlson.

[Arrowhead2k1]

21. Can't view the vid because I'm in Canada right now.

Fucking Comedy Central and their bullshit ways.

[Baikonour]

22. Don't NBC and Comedy Central have a deal together still?

I know Viacom owns Comedy Central, but CC used to air NBC programs like Conan O'Brien and still airs Scrubs.

[RandiFan1290]

28. Not sure about that

but Keith Olberman did call Rick Santelli, "Sick Rantelli" the other night. It was beautiful.

[malaise]

23. It was fabulous

The end with Stanford was perfect. Fuck you GECNBC.

[Jennicut]

25. "I'd have a million dollars today...provided I started with a hundred million dollars"

CNBC deserved it. I hope he goes Letterman on their ass.

[wroberts189]

26. He proved without a doubt cnbc to be incredibly unreliable. KNR

[leftstreet]

27. Awesome

Thanks for posting this.

:thumbsup:

[Shakespeare]

29. That was a beautiful piece of pwnage.

And the (literal) "fuck you" at the end was especially great.

[hvn_nbr_2]

30. I finally watched it. OMG! nt

[shireen]

31. that was amazing

i watched it twice, savoring every word! :rofl:

[RandomThoughts]

32. Looks like they got to John Stewart

His tanks on his back just exploded in flames, Lettermen interview was horrid.




I think I can defend the fact that Jon Stewart took a dive.

Just a couple months ago, a guy did not show up on Lettermen(McCain) and Lettermen roasted him. Then yesterday a guy did not show up on Daily Show, and Stewart Roasted him.

They did not even mention this.

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. I loved this comment on the site...

It truly is an upside world when comedians are the market analysts and the market analysts are the comedi....well, no, they suck at that too.

[Fleshdancer]

35. This segment is award winning

I'm glad it's viral on the internet now. Everyone should see it.
