John Stewart's Daily Show took the SNL 'Weekend Update' comedy segment, and made it into important commentary, intelligent debate, and the willingness to call bullshit where traditional media would not. Colbert, Noah, and Oliver have extended that approach in their own ways. John Oliver's deeply researched investigative reporting is the gold standard now for calling bullshit, and educating the electorate. Glad to see 'The Problem With John Stewart" taking this mission up as well. John's got the ability to book political leaders, and engage in respectful, tough, honest debates. Thank you, John.

Oliver put it well when he talked about how much Jon has meant to so may people. I am one of them. When 9/11 happened I went to my boss and asked for my two weeks vacation and went to NYC for the first time. I thought my Navy training in fire fighting and first aid might be useful, but they weren't. By the time I got there, it was hard to even get into ground zero, but using my old military ID I finally did. But the fires were under control (out actually) and there were few if any victims left needing first aid. So I spent my time schleping food and drinks to the real heroes trying to save whoever was left. One day, two fire fighters asked me to help them move a large piece of concrete off a victim to rescue her and I did. When we moved it and tried to pull her out, only her torso came out - she was a beautiful, dead, young woman. They managed to deal with it - probably not the first time - I threw up and left the area, bought some beer, got a hotel room and decided to leave. I did not think I could take it. That night, I watched The Daily Show for the first time - I had heard it was funny, and thought some laughs might help, All of Jon's speech hit me, but the part where he said that people from all over, with buckets, rebuilding was extraordinary made me realize that I had to go back. I can't say for sure, but had I left, I think I would have been ashamed to this day. Thanks to Jon, I didn't.

Olivers was my favorite from the ceremony. Congratz to Stewart.

I very much believe John got the request for this and 'Jon is dead' was the first thing that entered into his mind and thats what he went with.

Neve really had a forum to say this before, so here goes nothing. Back in 2009, I hit a rough patch. The wife left, lost the job and house, I couldn't see my boys as much as I wanted thanks to the ex, and I had been diagnosed with a condition (a severe allergy to light) that forced me to change how I lived radically. Needless to say, this had a negative effect on my emotions. I distinctly remember the first time I felt good and happy, was when I had discovered both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Watching these two shows gave me the first moments of pure happiness after all that crap happened, for which I will be forever grateful. So thanks to John, Steve, John (Oliver), and all the people who worked on the show, for bringing me out of the darkness, metaphorically.
