Okay, so Cintra didn't like Jon Stewart's hosting job. I got that. What I didn't get is *why* she didn't like it. Jon's jokes were about the same style as the commentary he malkes on the Daily Show. He also occasionally poked fun at Hollywood's self-importance. I thought he did fine. As for his nervousness during the first 20 seconds of his opening monologue, well, who wouldn't be?
The rest of Cintra's commentary is strange. What did you want, Cintra? I can't believe you're actually complaining because people weren't narcissistic and full-fo-themselves. I, for one, enjoyed having the ego volume on "low" this time. The show was still entertaining and nobody made a fool out of himself. Fine with me.
It's like you're angry that there wasn't more material for you to dish on.
