    Jon Stewart

    I did notice that he was a little uncomfortable up there at the beginning, but later he was making topical references and enjoying himself - laughing and commenting on what had just transpired in the broadcast.

    However, to be surprised that the Oscar broadcast isn't the Daily Show is a rather ridiculous response. It wasn't his normal audience, but they definitely warmed to him.

    Jon did a great job.
