The television in the United States continues to change at a rapid pace. After David Letterman have fired from his “Late Show,” Jon Stewart now has to leave the screen.
It all happened last night on Comedy Central (in Portugal, the episode will be issued by SIC Radical next Thursday), but the list of guests was too big for the regular program time. Nothing had no solution: double the transmission time
For nearly an hour, Stewart received friends and individuals in what would be his last time ahead of the program’s chambers.. “What a great, great night,” he promised the presenter. Fulfilled.
He started by talking about the Republican debate was going on simultaneously by Cleveland, explaining that he had no correspondents in sufficient numbers so they could cover the work. First mouth to the party that has at least 17 personalities in the race for the nomination for the presidential elections next year.
Of course, the corresponding were not available for political events. It was his friend’s farewell Stewart and could not fail to be present. Names like Lewis Black, John Hodgman, Kristen Schaal or Steve Carell appeared and thanked the capacity and the courage of the humorist, but the highlight of the night will have happened to Stephen Colbert, who will replace Letterman on the “Late Night.” Without forgetting the Craig Kilborn coming, former presenter of the program, the last of his successor.
“You are annoyingly good at what you do. And all of us who were lucky enough to be able to work with you for 16 years – and you can edit it later – better do our job because we could watch you as you did yours. And we are better persons for having known you, “said Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart leading to tears (it see the video at the beginning of the text).
” I know you’re not asking this, but name of so many people whose lives you have changed over the last 16 years, thanks! “and changed it. If not for the Colbert Report segment, the namesake program would never have existed and the launching pad for Colbert would not be mounted.
The Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie and Senator John McCain also left the thank you messages. It was on social networks like Twitter that the world of politics thanked the man half-pivot-half-comedian who gave grace to the nights of the North American television. Will be missed.
And before the end, a warning Stewart. “I tell you that tonight, friends: the best way to defend ourselves against bullshit [bullshits] is to be vigilant. So if you feel something, say something. “A clear reference to the US slogan of fight against terrorism and that, in fact, can be applied to any other reality.
period Critic in which George W. Bush led the destinies of the United States, at a time marked by the offensive realism of the post-September 11, Jon Stewart turned out to be a little voice of America.
The country and the world will not be the same without Jon Stewart on the screen. It was time to end. The program ended with a performance by Bruce Springsteen, one last “Zen moment” program. In September, the witness is passed to Trevor Noah.
