Huzzah and Kudos

You could tell Jon Stewart and his Daily Show team were enjoying his interview with Bernard Goldberg last week when they bumped a heavily-teased correspondent's piece in order to double the time alloted to the guest.

As a viewer, it made for awfully compelling television. Stewart very diplomatically challenged pretty much the fundamental premise of the book, that the "Hollywood elite" have any real sway at all over the fundamental nature of the country, and he wouldn't back down. And no shouting.

The best part, though, was our man Jon explaining to Goldberg that "comedy is hard," after the guest's lame attempt at a joke completely bombed.

The show's website has a link to the interview here, but I don't know how long it will live on the main page.
