Did we watch the same show? Jon Stewart brought exactly what you would expect of him--a detached, self-mocking attitude and some hilarious jokes. I laughed through his entire monologue and thought that a lot of the bits, which I imagine he had a lot of say in, were really good, such as Tom Hanks getting beaten with a violin, and the mock-political ads. I feel like you just couldn't wait to get to your computer and declare that the whole thing sucked, including Jon Stewart. I am not sure what you were expecting from him though. That was pretty much our guy from the Daily Show beat for beat.
