Jon Stewart cautions against extreme changes in the Democratic Party: ‘People won’t stand for chaos’
On that note, we asked Stewart to re-asses how Daily Show fans have responded to the challenge he posed to them on his last episode in 2015. “Bulls*** is everywhere,” he said at the top of his hilarious — and hilariously profane — farewell monologue in 2015. “The good news is this: bulls******* have gotten pretty lazy, and their work is easily detected. Looking for it is a pleasant way to pass the time. I say to you tonight friends, the best defense against bulls*** is vigilance. So if you smell something, say something.”
So, five years later, do our olfactory nerves remain ever-vigilant? Stewart thinks so. “I think there are wonderful voices out there who call things out,” he says now. “Sometimes when you critique a system, it makes you think that you don’t think there’s anything of value within that system. But I don’t feel that way at all. I feel the gravitational force of the systems tends to blunt the better people and the good storytelling. It’s a spectrum of clarity to noise: The louder the noise gets, the harder it is for the clarity to break through.”
