IMHO, comparing Jon Stewart to Rush Limbaugh is retarded. Jon Stewart and Rush both use politics/current events for material for their show, but the mediums and presentation style are completely different. Jon Stewart and AFV both use comedy and slapstick, just different subject matter. So sure, you can compare those 2 shows just as well as Rush and Jon compare.

Their audiences are very different generationally.

Does anyone really like AFV anymore? Hasn't youtube kinda usurped it anyway?
I guess there could still be old people who don't know much about youtube and watch AFV...

Bill Maher is arrogant as all hell.

Dennis Miller seems arrogant but actually is not.

Jon Stewart is not arrogant.

Arrogance is one of the primary qualities of the character Rush Limbaugh has refined.

Same is true for Stephen Colbert.

Stephen Colbert's arrogance is satire.

Thats what I think too, but Jinx is characterizing him as merely 'outraged', which gives it a whole different angle.

I'd agree on all counts, but also say that Dennis Miller plays an arrogant character like Colbert.

If Limbaugh's arrogance is still just an act at this point (I agree it was in the beginning), I wonder what he thinks when any Republican politician who crosses him is forced to apologize. It must be surreal.

There is ZERO comparison between AFV and either of them. It is not political in any way.
That has to be the stupidest comparison made here in a loooong time.

There is ZERO comparison between Jon Stewart and Rush, Rush is not a comedian in anyway.

Are we saying Tom Bergeron AFV is arrogant, or Bob Saget AFV?

Because I always thought Bob Saget was like the Rush Limbaugh of Jon Stewarts.
