This has got to be one of the best interviews ever given, and certainly the best journalism I've seen ever. Jon Stewart was fantastic. He was prepared, he was ready, he refused to let Jim go when he ducked a question, his questions were insightful, tough, and he was just plain brilliant.

I really didn't expect it. He's always been so lame whenever he got a chance to interview someone worth interviewing. On CNN's Crossfire during the 2004 elections, he answered an accusation that he was a total suck-up in his interviews, which he is, and he argues that he's just a comedy show. I actually found the clip, so I say you should check it out:



The episode kinda massacred the end of the interview. Actually, they trimmed quite a bit, and while most of the important, I think the uncut version is worth seeing. So click the link and watch it.
