Why: Jon was on fire tonight, staying consistent throughout and giving a hell of a performance. With correspondent John Oliver, the back and forth between them about the World Cup was intense and fueled with rage, ending with a back and forth of loud bleeping noises. And while I expected more from the "angry black man" piece with Larry Wilmore, once it reached the Samuel L. Jackson Scale of Black Emotion, the win was cemented. Because Obama should float right around the Snakes on a Plane level of anger for the McChrystal situation, as snakes most assuredly do not belong on planes.
Loser: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"
Why: The streak had to end eventually, and with such quality outings from the last two days, the stakes were high. That's not to say the episode was particularly lacking, but Stewart just trumped Colbert this round. Colbert (and this seems to be a trend... one which I've noticed in my grand total of three days doing this) had a better interview, with the creator of Pandora proving much more interesting, solidly beating out Stewart's White House doctor one. Colbert may shine with his next installment of his fallback position segment for Thursday, but we will have to see.
Final Tally:
Colbert: 2
Stewart: 1
