New York Magazine Thinks Jon Stewart is More Than a Skinnier Letterman or Jewisher Conan

…more than a sharper Leno, more than a shorter Kimmel, more than a non-syphilitic Fallon, more than a Ferguson who hasn't killed any Romanians and more than a human Daly.

I am not interested in Jimmy Fallon. I couldn’t care less about Letterman. I’m alarmed that Jay Leno is slotted for 10 p.m., but just because he’s eliminating the main berth for NBC dramas, not because he’s hogging the spotlight of poor old Conan, whom I’ve always had a soft spot for but also don’t care about…

There’s only one exception to that rule, and God bless him, it’s Jon Stewart—the white-guy comic who cracks my cranky indifference every time. Three weeks ago, when he launched an attack on CNBC and Jim Cramer, it was an astonishingly polarizing moment, and for all the praise he got from his fans, I was startled to hear several colleagues of mine hit full-out backlash mode: Stewart had become a bully, they told me, sanctimonious and overreaching. Who did he think he was?

A man? An over-man? An angel of God? The guy who collaborates with Jeff Dunham to make sure I can still afford sandwiches?

See for yourself.
