Caller on @BrianLehrer compares Jon Stewart to a Shakespearean fool b/c it's always the ones laughing who tell the truth. (God, I miss NYC.)

.@ditzkoff points out parallel: Comedy Central has chosen Trevor Noah, who's at similar (unknown) point in career as Stewart was at start.

Jon Stewart very much went after cable news. Trevor Noah has said he'll go less after cable news + more after @Buzzfeed, explains @ditzkoff.

@BrianLehrer I was an intern at #JonStewart Crossfire episode. It was my moment encapsulating how the Daily Show affected my view of media

@BrianLehrer will never forget the tension & awkwardness in studio. Neither hosts, audience or producers knew whether to laugh or worry
