Earlier this week, he sighed that “in the early days of this century often seemed that Jon Stewart and Bruce Springsteen were the only people to tell the truth about whatever it is.” Thursday night, the two joined. The last minutes in the air of Stewart as host in the Daily Show had not only the Boss, but Steve Carell, a grateful Stephen Colbert, Martin Scorsese, politicians and a whole team led by a presenter who chose hope laughing skepticism to say not goodbye, but it was going to drink a cup below. We asked that we remain vigilant.


                     


                          It was the Democratic political adviser to Bill Curry to point out in the journal online Salon the role that two men from New Jersey had on the big stage of the audience in conversation about politics and American life in the 2000s, comparing them to what they did decades ago Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye and Nina Simone. And now Jon Stewart who left a call for vigilance about the misinformation continues.

It was the final minutes of a special broadcast about 50 minutes. “The shit are everywhere,” Stewart said using slang in English “ bullshit “. With a smile, he attacked the Patriot Act and other policies that curtail civil liberties, the banks, the housing bubble and its consequences for pensions of Americans, “and finally the bullshit of the infinite possibilities” – the inquiries, investigations consuming that only serve to delay measures to solve large-scale problems. “The good news,” he announced, are the manufacturers of these bullshit “have become quite lazy.” And let this advice: “the best form of defense against the bullshit is surveillance. So if you smell something, say something, “he asked, recalling the phrase used to engage the public in preventing terrorism in US public spaces.

At the request of Stewart, Springsteen and the E Street Band played so Land of Hope and Dreams .

The end of a short era
Jon Stewart wants to go away – “Nothing ends”, this output “is just a pause in the conversation,” and instead of “say goodbye or goodnight, I’ll just say ‘I will drink a glass’” – but do not want to leave the post without watchman. And its role as an incubator of talent who worked with or were born in the Daily Show was a major than Thursday evening program ingredients was broadcast on Comedy Central in the US and it says 13 reaches the SIC radical.

The presenter also threatened to take the 50 minutes of the farewell program with the coverage of the debate between the candidates for the Republican candidates for US presidential 20, which ended just before the issue of Daily Show . This “despite being our last night on the air”. Before the hearing the wail of sound in the studio, Stewart recalled, as it has done since the galvanizers accolades it has received after the announcement of his departure, “yet still all still alive.” And they began to emerge his former “corresponding” or commentators.

John Oliver, Louis Black, Ed Helms, Aasif Mandvi, Kristen Schaal, Samantha Bee, Steve Carrell or Wyatt Cenac (and even Darth Vader), its corresponding and Egyptian counterpart Bassem Youssef, its predecessor Craig Kilborn and his successor Trevor Noah – who was literally taking measures to occupy since the end of September – were in the studio for quick goodbyes or jokes.

In a video segment, Hillary Clinton – “dries you to leave just” when she is in the race for president – Bill O’Reilly – “your quitter” – or John McCain said goodbye to Stewart and his team – “ So long, jackass “, he threw the Republican senator. Martin Scorsese appears briefly in another trip clip to program scenes whose shooting style emulated All good guys .

It was, however, Stephen Colbert, your spin off a conservative superlativou would have also Colbert Report on Comedy Central, which came out of the script. “You were annoyingly good at your job. All who had the good fortune to work with you for 16 years are the best in their work because we could see you do yours. “

” In the name of so many people whose lives you have changed in so many years, thank you, ” He fired one Stephen Colbert enthusiastic times before a Jon Stewart of eyes nailed to the desk, thrilled and surprised by the short tribute to one of the men whose career launched. In 2010, Colbert told the magazine New York you never thought nor was interested in political humor – even Jon Stewart show you “how to do it intelligently.” Colbert is the next big name late night American, within a month occupying the revered chair David Letterman on CBS.
