Goddamn did I not expect that. So many moments I was literally laughing. Like, actually. Not a huff of air from my nose. Or a recognition of “oh yeah, that was a joke. Good job, funny man.” Like, actually had to stop cooking and set down the knife and laugh.
I didn’t watch the interviews, I only had the stomach for the cold open.
What you said about being too young to experience the show when Stewart was originally on shook some more thoughts and feelings loose in me. I really think that, fundamentally Stewart hasn’t changed.

It’s me that has changed.
He interviewed the editor of the fucking economist 🤮
