I would like Stewart to do this to Musk:
From the article…
Musk appeared to accept the challenge, replying Tuesday to one user, “I will do it if the show airs unedited.”
“The Daily Show” took notice, reposting the message Wednesday from its official account accepting the terms.
Unedited, streamed live.
Though this does remind me of that asshole and wife abuser Steven Crowder bailing from a debate with Sam Seder.
Seder took steps to make sure Steven was available and couldn’t just say, “oh I got a thing”, used Ethan from H3h3 to rope a dope him.
And then came the showdown and Steven bailed.
So they want to platform a fascist? Giving a nazi access to their audience which he normally wouldn’t reach? This guy is part of an ongoing coup and they want to give him primetime attention?
They must think that they are very clever.
No, no, they want to embarrass a fascist.
That dude is on of the most embarrassing men on earth right now. Just look at his Twitter account. You cant really emberass him any more than he already did himself.
a top-of-his-game Jon Stewart would almost certainly make musk dance to a totally foreign (and illuminating) tune.
remember this is the man who cancelled crossfire and sent tucker carlson packing.
I think jon has more than enough left in the tank (backed by facts and razer sharp witt) to out musk for what he is. this is exactly why I will be shocked if musk actually shows up.
I shared this upthread but I think that you might enjoy knowing it also. Jon Stewart went, himself, onto Crossfire, Tucker Carlson’s show in 2004. And he just… destroyed him. Here’s a link to the wikipedia article of the incident.
You can’t platform the richest man in the world.
Unedited interviews are bold, but let’s see if Musk handles real scrutiny without edits.
😺😺😺😺
The headline makes it sound like they were in talks with each other. Musk gave his “terms” to a random Twitter user. I seriously doubt this will happen. Stew beef would completely humiliate Musk and his mediocre white guy confidence wouldn’t save him.
Too bad there’s no SEC to force him into the interview like when he offered to buy twitter.
If anyone can do this it’s Jon Stewart. I know he’s mentioned on several occasions that he doesn’t have any political ambitions whatsoever, and he’s been true to his word. But sometimes circumstances allow great men to take great leaps, and on rare occasions, do great things.
The fact that The Hill is already running a piece trying to play him off as a comedy star from an era that has all but vanished due to the corporate landscape, is all I need to know to believe what he has to say. They’re already trying to downplay and dismiss the results before they’ve occurred.
What are the terms of the interview? Will it be in person in front of an audience, via webcast, in front of the burning reichstag, etc…
What are the terms of the interview?
Musk just wants it to air unedited. Which means no matter what they do, he would be able to claim it was edited if things don’t go his way and he ends up looking like (an even bigger) fool.
So do a single camera and air it live.
Attach a scope to that “camera.”
Do multiple cameras, but display them all continuously, and then do all the tricks people use to try to make it obvious no editing was done and put them in the foreground and background of all the angles.
Nah…He’d still play the it was edited bullshit. The only thing that is nearly impossible to defend is “it was edited while being played live”. There, his embarrassments are his own, and they’re very very hard to downplay to any other causes.
Just shows how stupid Elon is. Stewart is an accomplished interviewer, with the backup of being a comedian. Watch Stewart keep his composure after smashing his coffee cup the other night. He assessed the cut, laughed it off, and finished the monologue instantly. Elmo doesn’t have the composure to handle a problem like that.
Was that a trick cup and fake blood, or the real deal?
Was real, they taped him up during the commercial to finish the interview. Probably just a minor cut, but at his age he’s probably on blood pressure, or heart meds, so small cuts bleed like crazy.
Maybe Jon can tucker carlson elon.
I rewatch that crossfire clip regularly. It’s my happy place.
Zelenskyy was also a comedian first.
People forget that popular comedians are usually incredibly intelligent. Conan graduated MCL from Harvard.
Yeah, frankly, its hard to be a great comedian, while also an idiot.
Which is why conservative “comedy” is just a bunch of slurs. They can’t come up with actual jokes.
To be fair, Conan is not typical, and his brain needs to be studied by scientists after he dies lol
Damn I didn’t know Harvard issued medial cruciate ligaments
Wouldn’t it be funny if they had 2 guests. Elon Musk and Bill Burr.
I’d prefer Luigi.
It would be nice if a Luigi cosplayer was a guest star. He just walks out onto the studio floor, and glares at Musk. I bet the rat would piss himself on the spot.
The closest we ever came…
Fucking pay per view that shit. I’d pay $49.99 to watch that.
That one should be a public service. Why limit it’s viewing rate when a lot of the country needs to view his idiocy fumbling for answers he obviously never thought of.
For those that don’t know … Bill Burr called out billionaires and warned them for the shit they were pulling (or to be “put down like rabid dogs”).
Elon “Free Speech” Musk basically restricted Bill’s Twitter account which Bill found funny because he hadn’t posted in months or years or something like that.
Bill also doesn’t hold back and will roast the shit out of anyone and is really good at it. Elon “Man of the People” Musk is a thin-skinned little bitch that is awkward as fuck but acts tough online like all his “alpha-male” friends like when he acted like a bitch when Don Lemon called him out and then Elon “I’m the smartest man alive” Musk fired Don Lemon for doing so 'cause he’s a bitch.
Elon comes out without his kid and the Mario Bros theme starts playing
Lol
If this doesn’t go Musk’s way I suspect he’ll drop terms the Daily Show would censor forcing them to pull the interview.
And go on YouTube, which is fine
They can bleep it…
Maybe so, but they shouldn’t. Censor it, poke the shit out of that South African fascist Nazi pig, and get him to display his true self for all the world to see. Fuck Musk, filthy Nazi.
Relax, he might not have the mental capacity to understand you.
It’s on cable and it’s aired late enough that they would not have to censor anything if they didn’t want to. It’d be great if Musk tried that and they just let it all go.
It’s on cable but the advertisers are less concerned with what is legal and more concerned with not supporting programs that air objectionable language like racist terms. The censors also cate about that.
On the network that airs South Park?
Yes, because if Elon starts ranting about offensive term for trans/gay/women that crosses lines South Park won’t typically do.
I think advertisers would absolutely love airing ads during the episode of The Daily Show during which the world’s richest man gets absolutely eviscerated and shamed for using slurs. It’s not like they would be celebrating it or airing a scripted show featuring outright bigotry.
Unless Elon starts drawing Mohammed live on air, I don’t see him coming anywhere near shit that South Park wouldn’t air.
South Park also got extremely close to airing the uncensored mohammed multiple times, and the uncensored versions were “leaked” onto youtube a while ago.
Can’t give a worse interview than kanye west right?
Jon Stewart regularly hosts chuds like Bill O’Reliy. The reason these people keep going on his show is because he hasn’t held feet to fire.
Stewart is steeped in neoliberalisim and both-sidesism, don’t be surprised if he pitches softballs.
-
yes, this is how interviewers must conduct interviews in order to have guests agree to be interviewed, to some extent
-
Did you see his latest interview with Bill O’Reilly though? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7qZE4C_neo
Or famously, Jon Stewart on Crossfire? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE
EDIT Also in the Crossfire one your exact concern is addressed by Jon directly
EDIT again, also his “both-sidesism” seems to be being critical of both MAGA right wing nonsense and neoliberal capitalist nonsense, but I have not seen much criticism from him of progressives. If you have some examples, I’d watch them. So I don’t see how that he is “steeped in neoliberalism” because he is often critcal of it.
I’d point at his excellent interview with AOC not even a month ago: https://youtu.be/eeheoxWzf2o
Puppets are very serious business.

It seems pretty obvious that you’re putting Stewart in the same camp as Bill Maher.
I’m pretty sure every interview is segmented to run ads and if it goes badly then that will be his complaint. See! they cut it! They went to commercial but that’s when I Said Very Smart Things™ that They Don’t Want You To Hear™©® so I’m suing them to take the video down.
Pretty sure they still upload “full interviews” to youtube
you best believe jon is willing and able to release raw video of the entire thing.
my money is on musk backing out - the same way he slunk off with his tail between his legs over the absolutely stupid “mma match” with that fool of a zuck(erberg)
I wish he’d followed through. I am almost certain that even if Zuckerbot had set himself to stun, it would have been too much for Musk’s potato body to handle.
It will never happen.
Elon won’t do it. He’s a pussy. He will back out and start calling Stewart a pedo on social media.
Just like when he backed out of that fight with zuck
As much as I hate Musk, that would have been so beautiful.
It should’ve been some kind of extreme badass death match deluxe: nobody gets out of the cage while any one of them is still breathing.
The live-action reality remake the American public deserves
It would even deserve to be some kind of royal rumble format!
Either. Either one of them.
I agree that “either” is more specific. And I don’t mind being reminded of it.
Otoh “any” is defined as
∃ xand every definition I found explicitely specified that cardinality is irrelevant. Either then is a subset of any, not a separate category.So imho this isn’t a mistake and you’re way more unconditional than you should.
PS: as long that everyone remains sufficiently mutually understandable we should adopt a descriptivist attitude towards languages instead of a prescriptivist one.
PPS: Don’t get me started on language as a class marker. This is a threat. c:
Oh, no language policing intended. I was just doubling down on the bloodlust.
That’s a message I can stand with.
Sorry for projecting that on you.
He could just go and say/do something that would prevent airing
Then if they take it out it’s been edited
I assume they’ll have to edit for length regardless - so I imagine they’re planning to make the unedited clip available online, like they’ve done with their other extended interviews. Lot less restrictions on what can air that way, too.
I imagine he’ll go on and start dropping hard r’s and quoting mein kampf and when the daily show wants to beep it out he’ll throw a fit and send lawyers to block its release.
What is he going to do, whip his dick out? I’m confident someone would leak it even if it didn’t make it past S&P.
No he won’t! He’s not a huge pussy! What about that time he fought mark zuckerberg?
He might convince Trump to add tariffs on the Daily Show.
Retarded is his new favorite word.
As pc as using pussy as an insult.
Every accusation by musk is an admission
“I will do it if the show airs unedited.”
That’s the best outcome. Therefore he will be a scaredy musk and elon his way out of the show. Hopefully it will be like his attempt to elon his way out of buying shitter and we will get a full unedited interview and at least a couple of people might realize he is so full of shit and a damned junky.
Edit: corrected autocorrect and my own spelling.
Make it live to make sure everyone sees it
Just like the cage match he had with Zuck.
This’d be much much better. Even Joe Average can see muskrat is physically unfit, but his intellectual dishonesty is much easier to cover up.
