Jon Stewart is great.

Perez have you been on his show yet. He is sort of cerebral, so you might want to wear glasses when you go on.

I am so fucking sick of Ryan Seacrest. It would be one thing if he was talented like Jon Stewart is..but he is not!! They just keep giving him more and more opportunities…Please lord make it stop!!
melissab says – reply to this

56

Yay for MR. Stewart!!! He is truly an idependent thinker and quite funny. Kinda like Perez.

BTW: Perez Sucks: You suck. Being overly cruel to Ms. Spears would not happen if she was more "with it" when she shoves herself in the spotlight. She looks fabulous for a mother of two, but the pop world is what it is. Tabloids and all. Suck it up, sucker.

Anyone like me and think Jon Stewart is "ok"? He's blandly funny, but there's nothing he says or does that really makes you say "Damn, that was hilarious"? He's a "safe" choice.

Jon Stewart rules.

Freakin' awesome! With the upcoming election, *excellent timing*. I thought he did a fantastic job in 2006, but just wait until '08!

Lots of people will say "don't mix politics with entertainment", but come on, I think it's time the American public was challenged a bit, ’cause not everybody can watch "The Daily Show"!

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday—FREAKIN" HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE JON!!!!!!!
Dee says – reply to this

64

HAHAHAHA!!! I bet Ellen's sick too because she didn't get called back after hosting last year. That's what she gets. She got all high and mighty dogging out Chris Rock when they asked her to host instead of asking him back, and now she's been kicked to the curb, too. How does it feel, Ellen???

Re: BLONDIE – Screw you bitch!
acc says – reply to this

83

Stewart is a good choice. He's funny without being too over-the-top like his contemporary Colbert. And not all his jokes are political, it's just the material he has to work with on the Daily Show. Since a lot of news is politically centered, doesn't it make sense that a news spoof should be too?

Seacrest just isn't interesting, funny, or anything really. Ellen? Are you kidding? I like Ellen, but she's just not THAT funny.. Besides, a LOT, and I mean a LOT, of people really despise Ellen, and that wouldn't be good for ratings, would it?

Re: Perez Sucks – You honestly can say Perez sucks when your precious Britney has umm…well lets see…become a total fuck up!!! She is flushing her career down the crap hole, fucking up her looks, and totaly blowing off her kids!!!! Thats the way to do it alright! NOT! Come on! She has had too many chances already. Her fat ass has no one to blame for all her fuck ups but herself! Esspecialy the VMA's performace! She knew if she did well on this performance then she could bring herself back up to a atleast normal level of life, but she went out looking like a fat drunk idiot!

who the hell is john stuart??

kidding! way to go jon. now we just need stephen to cohost.
Rochelle says – reply to this

99

I don't know about you….but I really don't think that Jon Stewart has the it factor that a host needs….Ryan has it but wouldn't put him in that seat either! All I know is that they need to find someone that is unexpected but also tame…so I guess that means Perez is out:)
Annie says – reply to this

Yeah. I think Jon is so funny an smart. Hopefully he'll be really political this time.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
