Video - Jon Stewart to anchor Ted Koppel: You make me want to do better

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart appeared at the podium to pay loving tribute to veteran news anchor Ted Koppel at the 28th Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards this week -- but in the process seemed to lampoon the mainstream media.

His shots were not direct. But his compliments of Koppel seemed to be couched in vague criticisms of the rest of the crowd.

"I don't understand how Bob went through the terrible things he went through and is still smarter and better looking than I am," Stewart said.

Of Koppel, he said: "You give me nothing. I work tirelessly. I'm a parasite that attacks artifice. I eat at the foundation of false sincerity, and you give me bubkes."

Koppel is "organic," Stewart said. "You are not able to deconstruct him, because his integrity is real... and I don't like that.

2. Oh yeah, "bob woodward is

smarter and better looking" than Jon Stewart..one of the few lies Jon has ever told, no doubt!

3. "seemed to be couched "

I don't think there's any "seemed" about it. And I don't think it was vague. Koeppel just doesn't give Stewart the opening for pointed satire that all the rest of them do!

4. I watched the entire video, and all I took away was...

Damn, Lara Logan is hot.

5. Bob Woodruff, not Woodward, btw. They need a correction.

Woodruff was seriously injured and survived.
