I would like Stewart to do this to Musk:
Unedited interviews are bold, but let’s see if Musk handles real scrutiny without edits.
😺😺😺😺
“I will do it if the show airs unedited.”
That’s the best outcome. Therefore he will be a scaredy musk and elon his way out of the show. Hopefully it will be like his attempt to elon his way out of buying shitter and we will get a full unedited interview and at least a couple of people might realize he is so full of shit and a damned junky.
Edit: corrected autocorrect and my own spelling.
Make it live to make sure everyone sees it
I hope the security is light.
I hope the audience boos Musk when he walks out looking like the loser he is.
I wonder if it can even be a live interview or if jon will have to do an offsite recorded interview like all of the ones on his pevious show.
cowardly mod censoring for “civility” over the call for a righteous fight against fascists.
Stewart is training his wordplay right now like a Rocky montage.
The chances of him being sober for this are next to 0
Chances of him not attending are also close to 0.
Think you mean 100, as a chance of not attending being 0 would mean he would be attending.
And you mean 1 not 100
🤓👆
He’ll find a way to back out. Musk is stupid, but not that stupid.
They said that about Rod Blagojevich, and the desperate need for attention is what pushed the truly irrational decision to do an interview.
Still, he might get cold feet if he expects a hostile audience.
Rod Blagojevich
Why I’m not surprised that the current president pardoned someone that tried to sell a seat to the us senate
Holy shit, I just realized that Trump commuted his sentence
Well yeah, he was a contestant on the president’s reality game show.
He’s also extremely overconfident and narcissistic
Remember when he challenged Zuckerberg to a fight? There are limits.
I would have loved to see that fight happen. Both are human garbage, but Zuckerberg is apparently a high level BJJ competitor. I think it would have been pretty one-sided.
Well, that’s true, but the fact that he said, “I’ll only do it if they air it unedited!” makes me think he thought they would say, “no,” and he’d be able to decline while saving face. My gut tells me he’ll make up another excuse now. I’d love to be wrong, though!
I’d expect either escalating levels of demanding ways to absolutely guarantee it couldn’t be edited in hopes of unreasonable.
Ultimately it could be like the Zuckerberg fight, where Musk just ghosted the conversation when he couldn’t figure a way to nope out of it gracefully.
Elon won’t do it. He’s a pussy. He will back out and start calling Stewart a pedo on social media.
He might convince Trump to add tariffs on the Daily Show.
He could just go and say/do something that would prevent airing
Then if they take it out it’s been edited
I assume they’ll have to edit for length regardless - so I imagine they’re planning to make the unedited clip available online, like they’ve done with their other extended interviews. Lot less restrictions on what can air that way, too.
What is he going to do, whip his dick out? I’m confident someone would leak it even if it didn’t make it past S&P.
I imagine he’ll go on and start dropping hard r’s and quoting mein kampf and when the daily show wants to beep it out he’ll throw a fit and send lawyers to block its release.
Retarded is his new favorite word.
As pc as using pussy as an insult.
Every accusation by musk is an admission
Just like when he backed out of that fight with zuck
As much as I hate Musk, that would have been so beautiful.
It should’ve been some kind of extreme badass death match deluxe: nobody gets out of the cage while any one of them is still breathing.
The live-action reality remake the American public deserves
No he won’t! He’s not a huge pussy! What about that time he fought mark zuckerberg?
Here’s how it’s going to go down:
- Jon will ask pointed questions.
- Elmo will respond with rhetoric, lies, half-truths, incendiary nonsense, &/or dumb jokes.
- Jon will call him out on his bullshit.
- Elmo will respond with more rhetoric, lies, half-truths, incendiary nonsense, &/or dumb jokes.
- Jon will be appalled at Musk’s lack of integrity, ethics, intelligence, or humility.
- The next day, right-wing pundits will spin it as a victory for Musk - saying he made Stewart “speechless and dumbfounded” with his amazing performance.
You forgot
- musk buys wherever the Daily Show is produced
- musk fires Jon
- “The Daily Show, with Sean Hannity”
musk fires Jon
Maybe he’ll come back and lead the resistance with Bernie and AOC
I would like a new set of Founding Fathers (and Mothers) to write up an improved Constitution.
I mean, Jon Stewart and maybe some of the writers are the value there. Even if you imagined that happening, he can just go do a new show.
Something like Twitter takes a lot of doing to build; network effect favors incumbents.
Yep-- apple didn’t want Jon to talk about China (and maybe a couple of other things) on the show they were paying him for. He left, started a new show (slash podcast), and got back on the Daily Show.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/20/media/jon-stewart-apple/index.html
AI. He wasn’t supposed to say anything bad about AI.
Which is funny, because Apple itself is giving one of the best takedowns of generative AI with the flagship feature on the most recent iPhone.
I think it might depend on their contacts. There’s a high potential for a non compete clause
I promise you Jon Stewart does not have a clause in any contracts stating he can’t continue working in his field (namely comedy writing).
He’s been in the game a long time and is at the very very top of his career right now. He already retired and went into advocating for 9/11 responders healthcare and veterans benefits. He’s only back to doing a show because we need him right now.
We know how Jon handles this exact situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCuIxIJBfCY
Musk will be roasted and embarrassed.
How the heck did I miss this entire series? I’ve been pining for Jon since 2015, was overjoyed that he’d taken over Monday’s again, and had no idea that he’d been doing a program already. Oy.
Oh holy shit what a take down. That ending was incredible. I’d be terrified of one day meeting Jon Stewart and accidentally voicing an opinion within earshot just in case he takes issue with it.
God damn, thanks for this link. I’m not sure how I missed this year old video. I wish I could keep my cool as successfully as Stewart does in situations like this.
It’s amazing how surgical he is while you can see he is literally shaking from anger. It’s like the anger just adds fuel to the fire of his rhetorical wit.
Have you seen the current speaking ability of Musk? I’d be surprised if he produces a single coherent sentence.
I hope Jon Stewart really pushes him through his filler speech and reveals Musk as stupid as he actually is.
Tho I still dont think this will happen. Musk would have to be incredibly stupid to accept this, like even more stupid than he actually is.
Place your bets on muskrat chickening out.
Stewart is going to rip him a structurely superfluous behind.
Jon would “win” if it happened, but it won’t matter.
After seeing Trump utterly dog walked across the stage in his debate performance and still win the election, I have lost any remaining faith that some great Aaron Soorkin-esque moment will change a fucking thing in this country.
It would be entertaining though; so that’ll be fun.
I agree, I think we are fucked. Democracy dies not with a cry, but a cheer.
If he doesn’t chicken out, he might storm out mid interview when John absolutely stomps on every misleading or false thing he says and pushes him to actually define his role in DOGE which could open him up to legal trouble (if that term meant anything anymore)
I’d be so happy if he throws a hissy fit and storms off.
Right? I’d love this. I have $20 that says it doesn’t happen
If anyone can do this it’s Jon Stewart. I know he’s mentioned on several occasions that he doesn’t have any political ambitions whatsoever, and he’s been true to his word. But sometimes circumstances allow great men to take great leaps, and on rare occasions, do great things.
The fact that The Hill is already running a piece trying to play him off as a comedy star from an era that has all but vanished due to the corporate landscape, is all I need to know to believe what he has to say. They’re already trying to downplay and dismiss the results before they’ve occurred.
What are the terms of the interview? Will it be in person in front of an audience, via webcast, in front of the burning reichstag, etc…
Maybe Jon can tucker carlson elon.
Zelenskyy was also a comedian first.
People forget that popular comedians are usually incredibly intelligent. Conan graduated MCL from Harvard.
To be fair, Conan is not typical, and his brain needs to be studied by scientists after he dies lol
Yeah, frankly, its hard to be a great comedian, while also an idiot.
Which is why conservative “comedy” is just a bunch of slurs. They can’t come up with actual jokes.
What are the terms of the interview?
Musk just wants it to air unedited. Which means no matter what they do, he would be able to claim it was edited if things don’t go his way and he ends up looking like (an even bigger) fool.
Just shows how stupid Elon is. Stewart is an accomplished interviewer, with the backup of being a comedian. Watch Stewart keep his composure after smashing his coffee cup the other night. He assessed the cut, laughed it off, and finished the monologue instantly. Elmo doesn’t have the composure to handle a problem like that.
Was that a trick cup and fake blood, or the real deal?
Was real, they taped him up during the commercial to finish the interview. Probably just a minor cut, but at his age he’s probably on blood pressure, or heart meds, so small cuts bleed like crazy.
So do a single camera and air it live.
Do multiple cameras, but display them all continuously, and then do all the tricks people use to try to make it obvious no editing was done and put them in the foreground and background of all the angles.
Pigs will fly and my shit will turn to gold before he sits in front of Jon Stewart live, and or unedited
Idk. Seeing how hard he worked for the first responders in NYC, he might just shoot the guy to save the rest of us.
I doubt Musk goes in front of a lot of people at all anymore.
Musk appeared at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week. I assume there were a decent number of people there (but maybe not a number of decent people).
And his appearance was so incredibly cringy. I have read through the half of that transcript on verge and omg dude literally has brain damage.
I have a bunch of highly functioning k addicts around me and it’s exactly the same way they speak when binging on K a bit too much. Just stammering and these random bleeps of out of context thoughts constantly seep into their conversations.
Cringey doesn’t even capture it for me. Seeing him with that stupid chainsaw and especially the way he said that chainsaw for bureaucracy comment made me feel disgusted in some way I didn’t really think was possible.
This laminated faced fucking Nazi wannabe-autist illegal immigrant piece of shit should be expelled into the sun using one of his own giant space x rocket penises.
Prefer him to be on a collision course with that Tesla he launched into orbit. Two birds, one rocket.
Just keep his security goons away from the production facilities and equipment. In fact, they should hire three times the amount of security Musk has. Just remember, they have been deputized by the U.S. Marshall Service, so they have the power to arrest people.
Wouldn’t it be funny if they had 2 guests. Elon Musk and Bill Burr.
I’d prefer Luigi.
It would be nice if a Luigi cosplayer was a guest star. He just walks out onto the studio floor, and glares at Musk. I bet the rat would piss himself on the spot.
