7. Jerry Lewis
Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor and others. On the issue of Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, they aren't funny anymore but they were as funny as anybody in their prime.

9. Oh come on
Eddie Murphy as the donkey in Shrek!!! Now, THAT'S funny. I don't care if he is "past his prime." However, 48hrs, Harlem Nights, Coming to Americam, and Trading Places will always be classics to me. Eddie just has a different shtick now.

24. Oh I don't know
I mean, it wasn't really for me, but he sure seems to be doing a lot of things that his kids will be able to watch him in. Look at Mulan. He was a riot in that movie. I have to commend him for doing the kid movie thing. I think it's nice. Of course, when I put my daughter to bed, I pop in my Raw or Delerious DVD. LOL!!!

16. "Bowfinger"...
one of the funniest, underrated comedies with both Eddie and Steve.

Pick it up if you haven't seen it.

11. Bob Hope's not very funny anymore either.
How about somebody from the last thirty years?

3. That's why my TV has a remote, so I can change the channel...
If he annoys you, don't watch him. Easy as that.

Welcome to DU.

14. Most Trusted ~ Ha Ha Ha Ha ~ I love it
He is too. I trust him more than any other news source and he isn't even a real news source.

25. You know, it is funny
But I would have to agree with that.

Part of it is because I am baised and they rip into the right more than the left (mainly because the right is in power EVERYWHERE).

But a lot of it has to do with the inherent honesty that is just assumed in the humor of the show. Its very personal.

And, I have to admidt, I trust Jon Stewart much more than I trust any other news anchor I see.

15. The cuff links are cute. And appropriate right and left.
Dems high.

...and closest to his heart.

Hell. I'll leap at symbolism even if I have to imagine it.

17. Congrats, Jon!
Edited on Fri Oct-24-03 04:06 PM by Hell Hath No Fury
This man has kept me sane for the past three+ years.

He is a national treasure for the work he has done on behalf of getting the Truth out about what this administration has been doing.

I will :loveya: him forever for it.

19. oooh, I'll have to get that issue
I have a link somewhere where JS said he's a Dem.

He's actually a good interviewer, too - doesn't let the shills get away with much.
