Jon Stewart’s epic Glenn Beck parody will ‘f*ck your ears with the truth’
Source: RawReplay
By Kase Wickman

Jon Stewart, long a hair-clutching foil to Glenn Beck’s hysterics, delivered an epic final blow to the conservative pundit Thursday night. In response to the revelation that Beck would be “transitioning out of his show” later this year, Stewart adopted Beck’s format instead of The Daily Show’s usual cold open, to great effect.

Stewart spent four segments (embedded below) “telling the truth while wearing glasses” and “f*cking your ears with the truth” while theorizing on reasons for Beck’s departure (the world is ending, Jesus is coming, etc.).

Sit back and Stewart’s genius eulogy for Beck’s hysteria. This footage originally aired on Comedy Central’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart on April 7, 2011.

educational, especially to those who have not seen Beck and his antics. Unfortunately, I've seen Beck and his blackboard jungle in action and Stewart couldn't have done a better job. imho

2. Best Daily Show skit ever.
I believe Stewart was somewhat genuine when he expressed how much he'll miss him. Perhaps I should say his writers will miss him because they'll have to work considerably harder now to fill out the show. LOL

3. I saw this and I loved it
but John Stewart has really been hit and miss for me lately, although I really loved the Reagan OS 911 skit.

4. It was such a perfect and biting parody. I hope Beck saw it and frankly I hope he felt some pain...
because he is after all, a totally cloaked anti-semite (Beck).

5. Where there is no sense, there is no feeling.
