Jon Stewart - Opening Monologue 3/30/95

[yodasdad64]

I love how everyone watched this with headphones. Yes, my ears hurt too.

[INTPTT]

My right ear is ringing out of confusion over not being able to hear what my left ear heard. This was worth it.

[jbear1377]

oh wow- a jewish person making a priest joke. ya know, cause that doesn't happen, like, EVERY 5 MINUTES. yawn....

[ComicallySanePolitic]

@hexcane lslrtsllslsla;llallLSALLSLSLAS­LLSLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAA­AAAAAA

[gforsythe1]

Wow priest joke didn't go over in 95 huh. Oh to be able to time travel.

[geekgal1000]

he cracks himself up..

[BNL07604]

He does sound like Seinfeld sometimes; I watched his earlier stand-up, and I went WOAH!

[kyledrums]

oh the 90's.

[Jenoki]

my left ear :(

[artziefartzie]

He's a comic genius, always blends humor with intelligence so easily, amazing guy!

[DamnAllSequels]

Richard Lewis! Why don't you just yell Hey Jew Guy?!? :P

[alexforever411]

SOmebody needs to put up the Talk Show Jon stuff. That was great.

[starwarssith]

what the hell is 3:13

[CrouchingMantis]

I do NOT think Brad Pitt is more attractive then Jon.

Not close.

[darylshreve]

Jon, Brad Pitt doesn't measure up to you. You are wayyy hotter than him. <3

[inlandsis007]

Damn, he was good. That's crazy to see him so young. Even back then, he had the same presence.

And comparing with what MTV is offering today, the difference in content and quality is pretty stark!

[Michielmig20]

Yep the music took a turn for the worse after 1994

[fallingfirenze]

LOL "the guy who's better looking than me...(pause)". oh Jon, you're a hunk too

[calumcoburn]

No sound

[SloterMFmeyer]

I have the same problem. :(

[babyshambles4life]

Hey Jew Guy

so funny

[Fooloomanzoo]

the audience doesnt really know how to handle that who knows why. but it so good.

[EvilDeadJoe]

Jon Stewart is still funny and relevant even 14 years later

[heaventonight90]

"..the guy who's better looking than me hunk." - Nah. :)

[michael62389]

i love him, hes so funny!

[thekittensx]

i love him.

[JVYT1]

Must have had some good coke before filming

[kitesflyhigher]

he used to be so hyper!

[Zhenobia]

Used to be? LOL he still is - and that's part of why we love him :)

[Kitscoma]

Jon Stewart was, is and always be the same same guy. He has not changed! Hahahaha. Hilarious.

[jimmbo13]

haha i doubt many would boo a catholic joke like that nowadays

[sterlingsir]

Thank goodness

[MadamPascal]

Someone had coffee before the show!

[sabiqrahim]

loool i love jon stewart, hes always on fukin crack i swear

[ivy1089]

Haha he's so adorable!

[youvebeenthunderstru]

LOL @ brad pitt's 24 personalities... the hunky hunk...

[lalalandliza]

his wife is a lucky, lucky woman . . . Jon Stewart is so hot!

[darylshreve]

Dude, I know!!! :)

[mcbeal800]

even in the ackward context, he is still a sexy little brilliant man

[Xebanta]

Please!

Conan is great on what he does, but he relyes on writers.

This one?

Fkn genious.

See any interview at letterman's, larry king, crossfire, or that dumb ass O'reilly.

This guys seems to be actually thinking with his own brain. On daily basis.

Wow!

Amazing, huh?

[beyourself03]

@Xebanta hmm conan is a writer too.

[XchronicleZ]

lol he's so full of energy

[Reignman29]

If you watch his style you can see where Conan got a lot of his humor he uses now like interacting with crowd and running around the set. Conan copied Stewart's style. Obviously Stewart can't use that style on the daily show..

[Prometheusjr14]

Good job deflecting. You pick out one debatable point and ignore the rest. I admittedly opened the door, and I admit that BOTH commedians aren't nearly as good without writers, but it is just plain idiotic to think Conan stole Stewart's style. Conan was already writing for SNL while Stewart had just STARTED doing stand-up in little comedy holes. No one stole from anyone. Jon Stewart and Conan O'Brien both rock. They just recently were in a sketch today. Get over it.

[Reignman29]

your an idiot. stewart has been doing stand up since the early 80's, conan only got his writing gig with SNL in 88. Not to mention the fact that Conan was NEVER a stand up comedian. Which means that when he had to do it for his show he didn't have experience with the crowd. He watched the way Stewart interacted with the crowd and copied that style. Watch Conan's old shows he never used to interact with the crowd. This video shows Stewart doing it back in 1993 way before Conan. you lose.

[stewartncolbert]

Conan during the Writers Strike was absolutely brilliant. As was Jon Stewart.

[AleksisMichael]

what is wrong with you? they all adapt from previous people, its being human we adapt and learn from each other and expand to fit us and modify tweaks to be of us and unique, thier is conformity, thier is learning, and thier is expansion, modification. Whats with the attack on Connan though? why cant you just enjoy and appreciate everyone? ( Im actually more used to Connan so i may favor him a touch :D ) but its all for good, and love.

[jerryhello100]

Apparently you don't learn and adapt Mr. I Can't Spell. Their, not Thier; Conan, not Connan. Of course everyone is adapting existing elements constantly, but that doesn't mean that it's not hard work; idiot.

[TheConciseStatement]

Wow you can actually see that even as late as 95, normal people thought calling preists gay was really controversial. Bloody hell, now were shocked if they have only "01 child molestations" on their criminal record.

[silverfuck]

Almost thirteen years... holy shit.

[AdymPerry]

lol, wow. Still funny!

[sebasix]

I hate jew jokes hehehe

[Shamborn]

man that was a while ago.

All those people must be dead by now, right?

[DropDeadDorky]

HE is so funny! Gotta love Jon Stewart.

[fx772k1]

Funny how the OJ joke becomes relevant again.

[cznation]

hes acting like conan at the end of that

[krystlerita]

As Wile E. Coyote once said (in the one episode where he could talk and was chasing Bugs instead of the Roadrunner):

"Brilliance! That's all I can say! Sheer, unadulterated brilliance!"

[quiescency]

He looks so much like Zach Braff here.

[pulsatingcosmos]

That just makes me too happy to think about.

[skippyrandom]

are you kidding?!

[darcey68]

loved this show!!!

[sparkkle2]

Wow, quite interesting.

[barb99999]

thanks so much for posting this fine thing. grateful i am, as yoda might say.
