Stewart Responds To Hannity's Apology: Nothing's Worth Sitting Through His Show (VIDEO)

Earlier this week, Jon Stewart did a segment on Sean Hannity's health care protest coverage in which he revealed that the Fox host had used footage of a different, larger event to make gathering look more impressive. The "Daily Show" went on to mock Fox by adding more video to Hannity's story, this time from Woodstock and the movie "300."

The next night, Hannity apologized saying Stewart was right. Stewart watched the show in anticipation of this moment, but after tons of tears and teddy-bear hangings, he revealed that "nothing's worth sitting through this."

Stewart went on to praise Ramin Hedayati, the young producer who caught the Hannity flub. (Full disclosure I know Mr. Hedayati personally.) "He" came came out on stage to take a bow and despite having graduated college in 2002, Ramin looks surprisingly old and begged Stewart to kill him so he could stop watching Sean Hannity's show.

Once AGAIN Jon Stewart is boring

[Republitarian]

Hey, here's story that didn't seem to make the HuffPost's front page,

MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan Apologizes for Using Faked Photos of Sarah Palin

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2009/11/16/msnbc-s-dylan-ratigan-apologizes-using-faked-photos-sarah-palin

I guess it's only news when Hannity makes a mistake.

[Caymus77]

The BIG difference here is that Ratigan was using obviously photoshopped photos in a humorous way and NOT reporting on an event like Hannity was.

Ratigan was not pretending Palin's photos were genuine.

Hannity WAS pretending fake photos were genuine.

Only a Repug can't see the difference.

[berrycooda]

Hanging from a noose??? thought those were fighting words...

anyway Stewart is getting a lot of publicity from the Hannity show.
Should be thanking him instead of making fun...
Where oh where is your sense of humor...

[LMPE]

Sean Hannity is the easiest person to spoof.

[FresnoSanity]

The truly sad part is that there is more “News” on the comedy channel than on the mainstream “News” channels.

[jackiero]

I think Jon and his staff needs a new hobby, but I guess they don't eat their own.

[brantl]

They don't have to, they eat the likes of Hannity, for lunch, day in, day out.

[seted]

Conservatives just make it too easy to resist. You guys are the Rosetta Stone for comedy, it's like everything you touch you screw up, kinda like King Midas of sewage.

[alenaspoppa]

Why is it that it doesn't bother conservatives when people lie to them and call it news? Aren't they the ones who like to talk about "common sense" and "law and order?" You'd think they'd be really worked up to know that the Fair and Balanced network is making up news. But nope. They're fine with it, even when their idols are caught red-handed.

[amdezurik]

your fear is delightful!

[lj8576]

comedy channel=Libs news source bwahhhahahahahahah sad

[RevMetheus]

that you really believe that = bwahahahahahah sad too there champ ;)

[lj8576]

yes I do its obvious BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA the damn comedy channel ahahhahahahahaha

[EWeiss]

Just because something is more accurate than FOX doesn't make it a news source. That's too low a bar - by that definition Punk'd is a news show.

[lj8576]

ok but I am sure you believe that Olberdork and Madcow are not the Limbaughs and Oreillys of the democrats. I did not say I liked Fox news I dont watch it because it is as bad as MSNBC. SO dont assume Duma**

[seted]

Ha-haa, not as sad as a bunch of treasonous nutters purposely trying to ruin the country so some cadaverous Australian can profit from it.

[paulbikes]

I love how you will staunchly defend fox, gop politicians, et al. presumably for being "on their side", day in and day out. Despite serving up their "mistakes" and "mis-spokes" on a silver platter, still you defend them. It would be admirable if you weren't so ignorant.

[lj8576]

im not a repupugnant DAUM*A** i never defended anyone god what a lib

[mgray34]

And Fox is a comedy channel inpersonating as a news channel...lol

[FlameOnH8]

A few things I noticed:
flowers
popcorn
drink with a fun straw
Mr. Cuddles (bear)
Bop-It
Baconnaise (bacon tasting mayo)
that pancake/sausage breakfast corn dog thing

[capitaldysfunction]

Gee, hard to find a conservitive blogger in this blog.

[amdezurik]

they are very rare in the wild these days/ mostly what you see are paid tr0//s and kiddies with too much time on thier hands copy and pastinfg canned responces from the hat3-site circuit

[KUVVY]

The way Stewart handles Hannity is the only effective method of dealing with an ideologue. Make them out to be the fools that they are and have a laugh. His portrayal of Beck and exposing of Hannity are priceless.

[FantasticFourFan]

If I had to sit through Hannity, I'd lynch something too.

[steeev3]

I'm pretty sure Mr Teddy committed sui.cide... he had so much pain.. after watching half of Hannity's show.

[seted]

What was really funny was the way 5 months of watching Hanitycap had aged the intern and took away his will to live.

[stagebandman]

You've heard of the Q rating? Maybe they should take an IQ rating for TV shows. I think there would be an amazing disparity between The Daily Show and Hannity.

[John Greatrex]

I didn't know fox had a news channel until Mr Stewart told me! Been watching his show for years, Top class!

[skymuffin]

Aw, the poor workers at "The Daily Show" who have to watch hours of the right wing crazies! Remenber to moisturize and to take breaks watching dogs playing with puppies and greeting returning soldiers...

[jeffinrr]

Stewart at hist best. I love the teddy bear hanging from a noose and the wilted roses.

[BlackJAC]

Poor Mr. Cuddles. He did nothing to anybody but Fox Opinion drove him to hang himself.

[steeev3]

Fox Opinion. ROTFL that is awesome!

[Rjchinook]

Truly one of his best! I never laughed so hard!
Geez last week Jon did one of his bests too & the week before!
