Last night, Jon Stewart uncovered America's latest and largest conspiracy--and it's taking place inside Glenn Beck's internal organs.

Stewart posits it's no coincidence that the day after the election, Beck just so happens to have a "medical emergency" (appendicitis) which prevents him from commenting on the results. As Stewart so aptly asks, "Isn't it fascinating that I'm the only one with the courage to ask these questions?"

At which point, naturally, the chalkboard comes out and Stewart takes us through the complexity of his suspicions. In a matter of minutes, he manages to link the appendix to Karl Marx, the stomach (via the small intestine) to ACORN, and the digestion of, well, acorns to hemmorrhoids--a botched surgery of which Beck suffered through on video no less than 18 months ago.

Verrrrry interestiiiiing.

BECK is brilliant; esp. his verbal repartee with Stewie.

Stewart isn't even humorous; possibly sophomoric, def. middle school playground humour.

But FUNNY??? Why that's inconceivable!

beck is easy to imitate and over emotional. stewart is entertaining but often wont tell the other side of the story....if only he could hear me yelling at the tv. i must be a painful necessary evil to comment when his side screws up. the more i listen to libertard radio and tv the more conservative i get.
i need to see if stewart commented on gibbs talking about hitler comparisons never existed until obama came in.

No To Obama
I don't know were you get your facts, but Beck only has the highest ratings for the 5:00 Hr. against news shows. He's not even in the top 25. O'Riley is 23. Sponge Bob beats Beck in every time slot it's on.

For anyone who doesn't watch Beck (I make it a point not to) it was painful to watch Stewart go through the over-acting machinations that are so obvious & trite. That people recognize Stewart's act as spot-on Beck is a sad tribute to the pitiful idiot that Beck truly is. That anyone could actually fall for Beck's side-show hucksterism is pathetic and a telling commentary on the lack of intelligence of those who watch and believe anything they see and hear on the FOX Network.

"I don't see too many WH people on FOX. "

And that has absolutely nothing to do with time being better spent on news networks.

The Glenn Beck spoof was brilliant! I am not a Jon Stewart fan but the impressions were spot on and so well-executed, that I could actually see Glenn Beck. Very talented satirical performance. Bravo Jon Stewart!

Funny attacking a person. How about taking on what he says?

I don't see too many WH people on FOX. Got the goods get your ass on their shows, They are waiting for you.

Beck with a right, Rush with a left, Levin and Cheney with a kick to the nuts and Palin swoops in to get your panties in a bunch and then eats their lunch. I love it

I have watched this show for years.
This was Jon's best performance ever.
He nailed it.
Everyone, even Glenn Beck watchers, should watch this performance.

At age 67 I sometimes cringe at your potty humor but I realize you are playing to your demographic. Sometimes it seems that demo is ages 5 - 12. Never-the-less -

I don't know what sort of awards you and your writers are eligible for. I don't keep up. I do think this is the funniest and cleverest piece you have done. You really nailed him! WELL DONE!
