Twitter won the GOP debate: A fitting tribute to Jon Stewart, who made citizen-satirists of us all
Planned or not, the synergy of the first GOP debates and the last episode of Jon Stewart as host of “The Daily Show” was bound to create a sense of loss. The final episode aired after the debates, but it was taped before. So fans assumed that, even though they were going to have a last glimpse of Stewart as host, they weren’t going to benefit from his reaction to the two-ring circus. But then, as we switched channels from Fox News to Comedy Central, we were given a moment of hope: Stewart started the show by telling us that he felt “an obligation to devote the entirety of the last show to our standard post-debate full team coverage.” Yes, we thought, Stewart isn’t abandoning us after all.
