Another "personality" to learn about and follow (at your own risk.)

 Yesterday, I heard a very interesting interview that originally took place in 2009 in a theatre in New York with John Stewart (The Daily Show:)  This person, who espouses every liberal view and who sees the humour in that, has an excellent television show that is worth watching if you are the same type of person he is – Mr. Stewart is probably a really nice guy to have a beer with, and it shows in his humour, in his style of speech, and everyone should try to catch his show more often before tuning into Leno or Letterman.  He has from what I can see very funny and interesting guests, and his “reporting” television style with Colbert and the other members of the team is nice to watch.  Steven Colbert is actually serious about what he does, and this is what makes the show so off the wall sometimes.  That’s the way it seems, any way.  The entire crew on this show is a bunch of nice guys from New York, and probably in several other cities at one time or another, and they’re nice to watch.  This is not a review as I have not watched televsion consistently since I was a child, and do not even know media trends, and do know in any event that if you enjoy slapstick for young people, this is what it is.  Everyone knows you take your chances with comedy shows, and for some people John Stewart’s and Steven Colbert’s might be a good match for you.  Happy television – watching, and don’t forget the radio, too.
