Stewart Gets Panned by Shales

Even though I thought Jon Stewart was good, The Washington Post's Tom Shales definitely does not! "Keep your 'Daily' job," Shales says, calling Stewart "a sad and pale shadow of great hosts gone by." Ouch! "Stewart began the show drearily, loping through a monologue that lacked a single hilarious joke with the possible exception of 'Bjork couldn't be here tonight. She was trying on her Oscar dress and Dick Cheney shot her.' That was about it -- and Stewart had five months, working with his legions of writers from the "Daily Show" on Comedy Central, to come up with good material. It goes to prove that there's still a big, big difference between basic cable and big-time network television after all."

Well, I still think that Stewart did a good job. Boy, Tom Shales, chill, bro!
