built 285 days ago
One thing that should be pointed out here is that while Jon Stewart has only had John Kerry on his show and not George Bush, that is because George Bush won't do the show. Stewart has had plenty of Bush's people on the show, and even on monday when Ed Koch was saying he's pro Bush and the crowd Booed, Stewart agreed with Koch that it was uncalled for.

Later that year, Stewart developed his own talk show at MTV. Despite the quick cancellation of his previous MTV show, the network was still eager to work with him. The Jon Stewart Show was the first talk show on that network and was an instant hit, becoming the second highest-rated MTV show behind Beavis and Butt-head.[25] In 1994, Paramount pulled the plug on The Arsenio Hall Show and, with new corporate sibling MTV (through MTV parent Viacom’s acquisition of the studio), launched an hour-long syndicated late-night version of The Jon Stewart Show. Many local affiliates had moved Hall’s show to 2am during its decline and Stewart’s show inherited such early morning time slots in many cities. Ratings were dismal and the show was canceled in June 1995.
