Oh man, you don’t realize how much you’ve missed someone until they’re back.

This is brilliant.

And funny.

And topical.

And that makes it relevant (something SNL could stand to re-learn).

From the NY Times: “Once again, people are talking — and grumbling — about “The Daily Show.”

Make no mistake: Jon Stewart is an amazing talent.

This content doesn’t just happen on its own. It doesn’t write itself and the comedic timing and facial expressions required to make this really, really funny are not shared equally among us.

It is special. He is special.

“After running a clip of Carlson picking up a loaf of bread, taking a whiff and looking ecstatic, the camera cut to Stewart’s eye-popping expression as he held an awkward silence and looked distinctly uncomfortable. His mugging here was more than just ‘Look at this idiot.’ It was hinting at something without saying it, that there was something weird about Carlson’s enthusiasm. With great patience, he held the moment longer, and just when the idea of something sexual popped into your head, he said, ‘I’d hate to think what would have happened if he found a bagel.’ (NY TIMES)

If you are a student of comedy, or even of relevance…If you want listeners talking about what they heard you say, you can learn a lot HERE.

You may not have the kind of talent that would allow you to host The Daily Show. But if you’re lucky, you might have the kind of real talent that would make you irreplaceable on the radio.

Because there is no more intimate medium than well done Radio.

Who’s ready to step up and prove that today?
