Jon Stewart is very upset about Glenn Beck's appendix

jonstewart_beck_video_290.jpgJon Stewart devoted a good third of "The Daily Show" Thursday to a topic that's front and center in our national conversation: Glenn Beck's appendix.

OK, so maybe that's overstating the gravity of the Fox News host's appendicitis a bit (it hit Beck during his radio show Wednesday, and he's reportedly doing fine following the surgery). But don't tell Stewart that.

Upon hearing the news, Stewart and his writers concocted a spot-on parody of Beck's style that somehow connected his appendicitis to ACORN, Hitler and outdated medical knowledge. Blackboard, reading glasses and emoting all included.

It's really better seen than described, so have a look for yourself.

One. of. the. most. hilarious. segments. EVER.

Easily going down as one of the best in TV comedy history.

Anybody who sees this can never look at Glenn Beck in the same way again.


As a long time fan of THE DAILY SHOW but unfamiliar with Glenn Beck I had such a WTF moment: I thought Stewart and his writers lost it but I was willing to give them one.


Richard, just search for "Glenn Beck cries" on YouTube and you will find all you need to know about Glenn Beck.

Stephen Colbert did a "9/12 Project" (more Beck-created lunacy) parody called the "11/31" project which is another classic spoof.

The scary thing is that so many conservatives take Glenn Beck seriously.


If you love living in a free country, maybe you need to pay attention to Glenn Beck a little more before the Commies in the White House have us all eating with chopsticks and working in slave camps!! Fact is fact baby! Wake up before it is too late!!!


Thank you, "realist" in AZ, for proving our point.

And I do prefer to eat my sushi with chopsticks, your point?


Stewart is an overrated idiot. This skit sucks.


Beck makes me wanna punch myself in the face. And i watched that last night i laughed soooooo hard.


I’m so happy to be out of his crazy body!!. Thanks John, for another Emmy Awards material!


Beck is a bit crazy, but most of what he speaks of is true. Stewart is Obama's little *****, anybody that talks bad about Obama, stewart goes ape **** over and attacks like a wild dog. The left will always look to take Beck because he simply points out where they are wrong and does it in a very smart home hitting way, that gets people involed. But that being said, john is funny, it's a shame he doesn't mock Obama, there would be a lot of material to use, but he is a lefty and supports those views, whether the issue is right or wrong.


If only Stewart could get Beck's ratings.....
