He Broke Jon Stewart – And Lived to Tell the Tale (spoiler alert: poop jokes ahead)
Manage episode 493674353 series 3670206
From the Stupid Gen X Tricks vault, we're bringing back a banger: our conversation with The Daily Show writer and producer Daniel Radosh. This episode is packed with behind-the-scenes stories on what it takes to make Jon Stewart laugh, the evolution of comedy, and what happens when satire runs headfirst into real-world absurdity. Plus:
•The glory days of Spy Magazine
•The fine line between clever and cringe
•The true story behind The Daily Show's poop joke wars.
If you missed this the first time, now's your chance. If you didn't -- worth the re-listen. It holds up.
Listen, laugh, and tell your therapist it's fine -- you were raised on irony.
