Katie Couric? In Iowa? Has the corn gone bad?:eek:

[s'news]

Wow. He even wins the Electoral College.

[The Mockingbird]

That's pretty impressive.

[wx or not]

Did you click on the globe as well? Amazing...Who knew he was in all those countries too...

[The Mockingbird]

Clicking on the globe now. Brb.

[s'news]

What's really surprising is when you click on the solar system.

As I've stated before, Jon Stewart is the Fool from William Shakespeare's King Lear.

[Diplomat]

Interesting that an actor got such high marks in these polls.

[Sparky]

I thought they were all actors.

[Another side]

Jon Stewart is an actor?

[wx or not]

Jon Stewart is an actor?
...and all the world is his stage, according to this poll.

[Diplomat]

...and all the world is his stage, according to this poll.

Stewart has played roles in several movies and TV shows and was pretty good in the ones I've seen. He has been called a comedian, although when I see him interviewed, he all but demands to be taken seriously. He's also a writer and producer.

He's also one of the most depressing individuals I have ever met. In 1992, I was one of the final "Audience of One" members on the old Allan Havey set on Comedy Central. In comes Jon, just a complete misery. I discovered later that THAT is his M.O. on a daily basis. But he is talented, so he has that going for him.

And Al Franken is now a Senator.

People can do and be more than one thing, Dippy.

Fred Grandy ruled Love Boat!!!:thumbsup:
Jane, you forgot whats-her-name that played on the Beverly Hillbillies as Miss Hathaway.

[Jane Craig]

Nancy Kulp

Thx, wxornot

And the woman who played the geek girl on Dobie Gillis (a bit before my time but I know it because Bob Denver was Gilligan) -- Sheila somebody -- became an attorney and I think also ran for office.

My list is by no means complete but I think it serves the purpose. :rolleyes:

[s'news]

A woman who played keyboards for The Partridge Family later became a lawyer.

[Calvin]

Don't forget Clint Eastwood, who served as mayor of Carmel, CA.

[adam & doctor drew]

and Jesse Ventura, since wrestling is mostly acting.

Here ya go, Jane.

Sheila Kuehl (Zelda Gilroy) who was not only the first woman to be named Speaker Pro Tem in the California legislature, she was also the first openly gay person to be elected to the legislature in CA.

[Kace]

She has one of my hairstyles.

[wx or not]

She has one of my hairstyles.
You wear wigs?:eek:

[TVMattNYC]

I thought they were all actors.

No.

The correct term is "voiceover models".

[Kace]

You wear wigs?

I don't understand this question.

[wx or not]

She has one of my hairstyles.

I pictured a large desk, with several wigs on it, similar to Alan Brady's in The Dick Van Dyke show. Thinking that you have several hairstyles just like that. But then again, I'm showing my age. Sorry for the confusion.

[Kace]

It's okay. Sometimes, the hair's a bit more spikey. Sometimes it winds up like what's pictured above.

And from time to time I just like to get the head shaved altogether. In fact, it's about time for me to get that done again.

[Jane Craig]

Thanks, Mom. :cool:

[wxgeek]

I thought they were all actors.

No, no, no. They could have been actors. But they wound up here.

[wx or not]

No, no, no. They could have been actors. But they wound up here.
But do they have to look good?:eek:

[Diplomat]

And Al Franken is now a Senator.

People can do and be more than one thing, Dippy.

Uh, we know that, Spike.

I'm just not among those who considers Stewart a newscaster or thinks he's particularly original. He seems to be meaner and more egotistical than those he criticizes for those qualities.

[Jane Craig]

But do they have to look good?:eek:

Yes. They don't have to be clear, though.

[Diplomat]

To wit:

Ronald Reagan

Fred Thompson was a successful attorney before he fell into acting, although people forget that. You could also add Tom McMillen, Jack Kemp, Wilmer "Vinegar Bend" Mizell and Ben "Cooter" Jones to your list.

[FD2BLK]

Yes. They don't have to be clear, though.

But would you let them whisper in your ear?

[Audacity]

No.

The correct term is "voiceover models".

Good one, Matt. :cheers:

[Jane Craig]

But would you let them whisper in your ear?

Probably not, but only because I'm busy with my dirty laundry.

[FD2BLK]

Gotta tune in to the bubble headed bleach blonde who comes on at 5

[writer2]

She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
it's interesting when people die

[TokenWhiteGirl]

Gotta tune in to the bubble headed bleach blonde who comes on at 5

I'm actually on at 6.

We're not ALL bad:hug:

[Another side]

It almost HURTS that Sonny Bono has been overlooked.

[Spike]

When has he criticized someone for being mean or egotistical?

And should Jon Stewart be added to The List?

[Diplomat]

Stewart comes across as more arrogant and mean than the people he criticizes--the Crossfire people, the other cable news shows, etc.

As for this "list," I consider the source and his/her issues; I long ago put that person on ignore. Is it now a requirement to like Stewart and his shtick?

[Spike]

Now you don't seem to be saying the same thing. Has Jon Stewart criticized these people for being arrogant and mean?

[Kace]

Crossfire was criticized for, "hurting America." I guess that COULD be considered mean. ;)

[wx or not]

Now you don't seem to be saying the same thing. Has Jon Stewart criticized these people for being arrogant and mean?
Watch the Jim Cramer interview. I've met Jon Stewart. He can be that arrogant.

[Diplomat]

Now you don't seem to be saying the same thing. Has Jon Stewart criticized these people for being arrogant and mean?

Since you didn't understand, I shall type slowly. Yes, he has criticized cable news hosts for being arrogant and mean, given what he has said about several of them.

[Head Janitor]

Jon Stewart doesn't consider himself a journalist. He's said numerous times he runs a fake news show...which of course he does. But as Kace pointed out...in his jokes, Stewart shines a spotlight on what's really happening.
