Welcome to the Letterman KZfaq Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanally-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

I remember watching Jon Stewart on MTV in the early 90s and thinking: "This guy's funny but he's too smart to make it big." Glad I was wrong.

@zachvii6476 Жыл бұрын

George Carlin and Dave Chapelle are/were also extraordinarily smart. When used properly, it’s a very powerful tool.

I thought Howard Feller would be the one from The Jon Stewart Show to make it big.

I think I remember seeing him on VH1 standup before MTV but his MTV show was great and had excellent musical guests.

I had never seen this one before. Thanks so much for sharing. John Stuart has always been funny, and apparently, has always been political. Which is why he was the perfect choice to host the daily show. And transformed it. Thanks again.

I forget how ground-breaking he was. I first saw him on a CC channel new comedian's night. He did a bit about how the Arm's industry sells weapons to countries and then incites conflict. Nobody was that bold since Carlin and Pryor.

I was SO hoping he'd do the moron walk. He was my favorite comedian while he was doing stand-up, bar none. When he moved to the Daily Show, he became more than a comedian. I just knew I'd never see the moron walk again :(

Jon (1992): "It's an increasingly violent world... the next war is going to be nuclear." Jon (2022): Glad I was off by 30y, but especially disinterested in slim-fast now.

The fact Jon debuted on Late Night is astounding. When Dave was at CBS they signed Jon to a holding deal…perhaps it was on the strength of this first public broadcast?

@YoctoYotta Жыл бұрын

Dave calls this his network TV debut. Stewart already had his own show on Comedy Central two years prior to this appearance. He was a well-known quantity.

@GjpgrD Жыл бұрын

Comedy Central was a little cable channel, not a network.

@YoctoYotta Жыл бұрын

@@GjpgrD I worded that poorly. This video is of Stewart's broadcast network debut. Comedy Central is not a broadcast network, it's a cable network. We're in agreement on both those points. I was just snarkily commenting that this is not a video of Jon "debuting" to the public and world of entertainment in some broad sense of the word as the OP comment strongly seemed to suggest. Maybe I misinterpreted that. Likewise, if someone stated that a musician's first hugely popular album is their debut album even though they'd already released an album in the past, I'd have to disagree there too. First world problems, happy holidays! =)

Not too promising a debut. The first 1/3 was awful. But he’s great doing the newscast thing or whatever you call his most noteworthy shtick. Married a Scottish girl so at least he’s open minded. 🛸
