First of all, I’d like a little credit for my sly, gratuitous reference to the Al Franken vehicle “Stuart Saves His Family.‿ Am I the only one who feels tenderly about that movie?
I love the idea of Jon Stewart hosting the Oscars, if only because he was miscast as a cad engaged to a former Hooters girl who foists his illegitimate child off on Adam Sandler in “Big Daddy‿ -- and it was a pretty convincing performance.
At least we know he won’t be sitting in judgment on anybody.
But I am worried that he’ll get all political on us. I’m even less informed about politics than I am about the nominated movies this year. Will someone please stand by to explain the jokes to me?
I also applaude the choice of Jon Stewart, however, I welcome the political comments, that is what he is known for. Plus, how many Brokeback jokes can he use?
Stuart? Stuart? How did the most annoying character from the most annoying actor on the least talented SNL cast ever get a movie? Just by mentioning that here, you have tainted your blog and sullied the entire Oscar proceedings.
It turns out that Jon Stewart is only one step removed from Oscar glory. IMDB tells me, and Netflix confirms, that he once appeared in a movie with Angelina Jolie.
jon stewart got a lot more fans last night--The audience (in the building) didn't get his humor very well, but those at home did. He was smart to focus on the audience at home instead of the hollywood millionaires present.
He could have had them falling in the isles by tearing bush and cheney apart. He didn't. He focused on the pomposity of the hoolywood crowd just as much as on any political group.
He is more like the average american. We are moderates, not liberals and conservatives. He took a shot at everyone, and does this all the time. We like that.
The movie and tv executives need to pay attention to the average comments about jon stewart. they could learn a lot.
I predict that jon stewart is the 21st century Johnny Carson.
He appeals to all audience ages and not just young people.
