‘Free Beacon’ Montage: Jon Stewart’s ‘Comedy of Stares’
A montage takes a look at The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart and his propensity for gazing at his audience
Comedy of Stares (Washington Free Beacon)
You know the drill if you watch The Daily Show.
Host Jon Stewart plays a smashcut of television news clips, to help him destroy, eviscerate,demolish, devastate, torch, obliterate and disembowel a generally conservative straw man opinion, movement or Fox News host.
After that comes the true punch line, where Stewart often simply gapes at the camera for humorous effect, to convey his shock or revulsion at whatever those clips displayed. All this is done to raucous applause and laughter from an adoring studio audience.
