Why was Jon Stewart so extremely successful at imperializing mainstream media with his protégés?

Why was Jon Stewart so extremely successful at imperializing mainstream media with his protégés?

Damn near every person who ever worked under him as a Daily Show correspondent went on to either get their own shows or work in movies.

Probably because they had (((connections)))

Many of the people who appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart were talented in their own right, like Steve Carrell and John Hodgman. Of course, people may have assumed that because people like John Oliver were popular they, too, could lead their own shows regardless of how funny they were.
Nice thinly veiled Sup Forums thread btw.

>The Daily Show is a comedy show and totally not propaganda goyim

The CIA's best factory to date.
Book em all as traitors & useful jokers normalizing massive corruption & theft from government (aka the people)

>Liebowitz

His MTV training was his secret jewjitsue

...

I wasn't trying to imply many of his correspondents weren't talented, I was more or less asking how he was so good at finding relatively obscure comedians who's career's always had the potential to blossom after leaving the show.

This. A lot of the correspondents were recruited from UCB New York.

>everything that disagrees with my narrow point of view is jewish propaganda
fuck off back to Sup Forums

(((Jon Stewart)))

u mad

Can someone explain the multiple parentheses and quotation marks memes?

He basically took the crown from SNL in terms of producing comedic talent.

He's a really funny and talented guy, obviously. Plus the format of the show is more modern and accessible than SNL is. It's faster, they use clips, it's on more often and it's funnier. The correspondents still get to do their bits and showcase themselves, which has acted as a launching pad for many careers.

not an argument

Just a Sup Forums created meme to denote a Jew

>the format of the show is more modern and accessible

Well, was. The format is dated since today all of its spinoffs are considered more propaganda than satire.

Look at all this butthurt. Sup Forumstards are just mad that Jon Stewart is the one guy they can't rip down with memes like current year man and BLOMHGF and so they have call him an ebil jew.

He had an incredible awareness of the industry, and knew exactly when to get out before the liberal political comedy shtick got too old.

He remains immortal, and this triggers the Sup Forumslards to no end.

He invented that style of smug comedy before news as entertainment became so widespread. Thats why.

At the beginning the daily show did had a lot of talent like steven carell so the hacks benefited from rep of having worked on the daily show.

None of that matters anymore. He's gone and we're stuck with his legacy, which are a bunch of talking head hacks.

Leibowitz called out Israel big time though. Far more than Alex Jones ever could. Who was equally anti-Bush
Why is it that people always put sides over positions?

Still lol at his anti-Glumpf appearances

The funny thing is, initially it wasn't even strictly liberal comedy. He'd put two anchors up on either side of an issue arguing nothing but strawmen-tier shit just to show the absurdity of it all.

It was only later he got too self-righteous about it abandoned whatever sense of objectivity he had. Even then, he was usually still funny if you could take a fucking joke.

t. Sup Forums

How do you guys explain that fucking hacks like Samantha bes larry wilmore got their own shows then?.

Although i wont deny the was some really talented guys at the beginning like John Hodgeman and later Rob Riggle.

I used to think Stewart was always carried by having funny correspondents and good writers until the last writers strike happened.

All the other Nightly comedy shows quickly suffered in a downturn of humor except the Daily Show which actually somehow got slightly more funny during the strike.

Johnny Carson is the only other nightly comedy host in history that you can even begin to claim is in the same hemisphere of talent as Jon Stewart.

I'd put Letterman and Conan right up there too. Both are great comedy writers.

Truth.

Later with Bush it really started to get partisan but it wasnt as sanctimonious as it is today.

Things really got to his head when he startes to believe he could influence politics.
The day he ambushed tucker carlson is the day he died as comedian.

There's a seriously lack of talent in the industry right now and it shows.

Jon was successful.

Other stations wanted that success, and Comedy Central wanted it again, so they offered some of the people who worked on the show with him their own similar shows.

Honestly, the only real big success was the Colbert Report, although there have been some moderate successes. There's quite a few corespondents over the years that either never got their own Daily Show or failed at theirs. Here's a few:

>Dan Bakkedahl
>Mary Birdsong
>Nancy Carell
>Steve Carell
>Wyatt Cenac
>Michael Che
>Nate Corddry
>Rob Corddry
>Josh Gadd
>Vance DeGeneres
>Rachel Harris
>Ed Helms
>Jason Jones
>Al Madrigal
>Aasif Mandvi
>Olivia Munn
>Robb Riggle
>Mo Rocco
>Matt Walsh
>Lauren Weedman
>Jessica Williams
>Bob Wiltfong

Then there's contributors, and pretty much none of them went anywhere.

>but what about movies
Okay, a few went on to do movies. Steve Carrell was successful there for a time but his career has tanked, hasn't it? Ed Helms was a poor man's Carrell for a while but now he's done. Others had bit parts in some movies and that's it. Oh and Olivia Munn was in an X-Men film recently. Wow.

So who are the success stories? Pretty much Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Samantha Bee. Eh. For a show that won so many awards, Daily Show isn't exactly a star maker.

They are good, but not Stewart or Carson level.

Carson basically invented the nightly comedy show format, and he was insanely witty at interacting with his guests. Stewart also completely changed the direction of the Daily Show when he took over to focus on political satire, and now every mug in the industry tries to copy his shtick.

Eyy you don't talk like this about my boy Steve Carrell

In their defense, theres so many daily show copies that audiences are willing to tolerate.

Letterman's style during his Late Night years in the 80s was very influential though.

Jon Liebowitz is a hard worker and a nice guy, he makes strong connections with people and wants to help those deserving of it

>hey man Sup Forums is just satire

Why does John Lebowitz change his name for television?

why do these feel so inauthentic, they're like those hilldawg pepe comics thay were probably outsourced to Thailand or something

I agree.

>Johnny Carson
Whenever he had Don Rickles in show it was gold.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Stewart

>e began using the stage name "Jon Stewart" by dropping his last name and changing the spelling of his middle name "Stuart" to "Stewart". He often jokes this is because people had difficulty with the pronunciation of Leibowitz or it "sounded too Hollywood" (a reference to Lenny Bruce's joke on the same theme).[32] He has implied that the name change was actually due to a strained relationship with his father, with whom Stewart no longer had any contact.[28]

Liebowitz told democrats exactly what they wanted to hear.

Jonathan Leibowitz: ‘Republicans are stupid.’

(Audience claps and roars with laughter)

Jonathan Leibowitz: ‘Evil white men. (Makes funny face) Am I right?’

(Audience gives standing ovation.)

Jon Stewart was pretty funny on the Daily Show when he was making fun of the president and going after Fox News and actually bucking the system and telling jokes.

He just wasn't that funny after Obama got elected. Lost his teeth, lost his humor. He just did really safe stuff after that. Kind of glad he retired when he did.

Yeah, it's no secret Stewart was biased, but he would still occasionally call out Democrats and rip in to them for stupid shit.

I don't think Oliver, Colbert, or Bee dared to utter anything negative about queen Hillary once during the election, while Stewart did and he wasn't even hosting a show anymore.

I think he's become kind of jaded in the direction Democrats have gone with the social justice stuff.

To be fair Republicans ARE stupid
Where did he ever say ANYTHING anti-white?

He was way more nuanced that that. The smugness did get kind of tiring but that's all in hindsight and the Bush administration was a joke that used the mass outcry following 9/11 to conduct a war on terror that involved serious breaches of civil liberties to its citizens and to people across the globe. Regardless of your position in the current climate the hypocrisy and obvious disregard for law that was a facet of the administration at that time was shocking, you have to admit

>the current POTUS is basically a professional shitposter

what a time to be alive.

>To be fair Republicans ARE stupid

Yet they somehow keep managing to kick the absolute shit out of Democrats in every level of government in every recent election.

>"B-but they're just manipulating dumb voters to vote against their interests"

Then why aren't Democrats doing the same thing? You'd think with how oh so enlightened and intelligent liberals are, they'd have figured out how to out-manipulate all those stupid redneck Republicans.

Not him but if you're falling into the Republican vs Democrats trap then you're the goodest goy there is

>imperializing mainstream media
>using talent case he had none
Pick one.

you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. my politics are so far beyond your childish conception of left and right that you wouldn't even be able to have a proper discussion with me because you are so fucking bluepilled you literally probably subscribed to r/communism last week and now just realized that you can be a contrarian to everyone by appearing as a 'more serious and hardcore' 'ultrasonservative'. that makes no fucking sense and is about as vague and pointless as identifying as a 'republican'. that's not a fucking ideology.

jewish tricks
having lots of money and (((NYC))) friends
his brother was like a president of the NYSE or something

>propaganda doesn't exist

good goy

>Then why aren't Democrats doing the same thing?
But they do. They just appeal to the SJWs which is just a losing strategy every time.

>completely making up your opponents position when you realise you're in the wrong
What did r/The_Flumpfnald mean by this?

First of all, He has that "Oh, come on!" smirk down perfect.

lmao

Ergo the point that leftists really aren't as smart as they think they are if they continue to follow such a retarded strategy

>implying he's not a propagandist for the DNC

delusional

Are correct, fuck all your shill politics.
Bush was king, and going strong, and Jon came at the right time to have his show. He did alot of stuff right, like insisting on all hires to have amazing writing and preforming talents, and propelling them to greatness if they wanted it. He looked for improv talent most, since the interviews are mostly improv in a certain way. He was great because he worked hard as fuck and expected the same from his staff. Say what you want about his politics, but he had fodder up the ass during bush, it would be stupid not to use it. And it was great television. A good point would be his show would not have been as successful if Kerry won, we can kinda see it in the Obama years that it lost the main punching bag, Bush was pure gold. I would actually like to see him come back as Trump is pure gold and none of the other "Politics" shows are doing anything funny.

>serious breaches of civil liberties to its citizens and to people across the globe

Except he and his protoges stopped caring about those things once Obama entered office and instead focuses on how Republicans were working against him. The Daily Show definitely morphed from a comedy show about the news into a show where they fed the crowd Democrat talking points with some jokes mixed in, which is what all of the shitty imitation shows have copied. Also it didn't help that the correspondents went from being funny talented future stars to a cast of literally who's that looks like a diverse Burger King commercial. Stewart is funny (I've seen him do standup) but at some point he clearly went from being a comedian to someone that wants to change the world. See his documentary about journalism in Iran or whatever it was.

REALLY makes me think

People are only remembering the people who came out successful, and there were a good number.

People who watched the show for its entire run remember that there were a LOT of people who didn't go on to do anything notable.

Because they are inauthentic. There is a group called ShareBlue or something that is paid to make these and post them here.

>Yet they somehow keep managing to kick the absolute shit out of Democrats in every level of government in every recent election.

Because the voters are stupid too.

Connections and licking the assholes of all the right people.

>Then why aren't Democrats doing the same thing?

Because they have to appeal to a demographic that isn't concentrated in the poorest, least-educated regions of the country. This is such a stupid question. If one party focuses on issues facing one group, then the opposing party should focus on issues facing the other. Basic common sense.

>Because they have to appeal to a demographic that isn't concentrated in the poorest, least-educated regions of the country.
You know like 95% of blacks vote democrat, right?

>he thinks niggers and spics are educated and rich
tip top zozzle

I liked Stewart but in hindsight, he did lasting and remarkable damage to the political discourse of the country. Entertainment/agenda is fine, it's certainly been done before, but he brought with it this sense of smug indignation and righteous aggrandizement that has made reasonable debate essentially impossible. Trump is a reaction to this, far from the cause. Meanwhile his far less talented acolytes spread out to do exactly the same schtick with less talent, even further degrading the way we talk and deal with politics

Bush era Stewart was classic, it's hard to be partisan when you have a president like Bush, even if you like him you have to admit he was a comedy goldmine which could not be ignored

Trump received from votes from Voters with a College Degree than Clinton. His voters also had a higher median income.

>this is what liberals actually believe

He knew or found out that the people who write his script are the same kind of retards the news has.
>There's is more work in the smallest cheapest crappiest goof than "BREAKING NEWS, WE STILL DON'T KNOW SHIT {+@ present time PLZ RETWEET}"
