1. Never heard of him before today. n/t

[cwydro]

3. Me either.

5. Apparently he's the new Pol Pot.

7. Well, I wouldn't know lol.

But his jokes seem pretty lame.

2. I watched a couple of his specials last year and a documentary on him a month or 2 ago. nt

4. Hey. At least MSNBC didn't hire him to do a knock-off at 10PM eastern

6. Saw some clips on Youtube over the past couple of days from various performances.

And, of course, the selected tweets today.

I found him amusing, and his "puzzled by Americans' thing could work nicely at the Daily Show. That's what John Oliver did as well: the perpetual WTF moment.

Having never seen Stewart or Oliver do stand-up, I can't really judge his host-worthiness from that.

8. Wasn't he in "Von Ryan's Express?"

[PeteSelman]

9. None until now.

Not impressed.

They should have just ended the show.

10. I was introduced to his stuff when I was spending a lot of time in South Africa for work

There is no working comedian today, male or female of any ethnicity they could have come up with who wouldn't have upset the professionally outraged.

If I recall correctly Jon Stewart's 90's standup would definitely be considered at the very least insensitive. I recall jokes about the special olympics and use of the "other" f-word.

12. true - Stewart used to be a bit of a pig in the 90s

Lots of jokes bragging about fucking women and going to strip clubs

[Chathamization]

13. Last year: "Jon Stewart cursed me out: I dared question a “Daily Show” warm-up comic’s racist jokes"

Salon. #CancelColbert wasn't too long ago either.

11. I watched an hour long special of his on Netflix last night

I have also watched several of his videos on YouTube. I did not see the Tweets until this morning after I watched his other material and I am glad. His tweets are not representative of his full act, he is a very funny guy with a lot of insight into what it is like to face discrimination.

He grew up in apartheid South Africa with a mixed race family that could not be seen together in public because mixed race families were illegal. A few inappropriate tweets don't change the fact that this guy has a lot of insight into what it is like to face oppression and he can talk about it in a way that will make you laugh while also recognizing the injustice.
