Washington Post; on April 27th, Culture writer Paul Farhi mentioned
author appearance on the Daily Show while discussing his love of
Jon Stewart’s (and Steven Colbert’s) idea-driven guests:
“Know what I love about "The Daily Show" and "Colbert
Report"? Many things, but one of them is the guests they choose to
interview each night. Unlike any other entertainment/talk show on TV, both
programs book guests with ideas. Yes, like every other show, there's the
occasional movie star plugging his/her "project," but mostly it's
obscure people (authors, journalists, pols, thinkers of one kind or another)
who have stimulating ideas. Last week, Jon Stewart had on John O'Hara,
the 25-year-old Tea Party proponent and author. Stewart clearly didn't agree
with O'Hara, but the conversation was respectful, amusing and often enlightening.
He also had on Fred Pearce, a Brit who has written a book on demographics
and population trends. …You won't see this on Letterman or Leno
or Kimmel. You might see it on "Charlie Rose" or "Tavis Smiley"
on PBS, but it won't be nearly as entertaining.”
