The Daily Show is not my favorite thing: Jon Stewart is often crude and rarely funny; when I catch a snippet here and there, I find myself giggling at his facial expressions and then chagrined as soon as he opens his mouth. Nevertheless, Mr. Stewart may be the most no-nonsense interviewer of this generation, and I always love to see him tearing holes in the deserving. So I give you Jon Stewart's interview with Jim Cramer--because it's pretty great.

One thing I'll say for Cramer: he had serious gumption to go up against the world's toughest interviewer and mediadom's most amazing team of footage collectors in front of a crowd that would only boo and hiss his every utterance. It took balls--balls I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any more.

Here's the unedited interview in three parts:

    So long as the video isn't from YouTube, the on-campus filter doesn't care.

    My favorite part was that bit where Jon said something about us being workers, that the desire to get easy money is simply un-American.

    Fantastic stuff.

  3. .

    BYU blocks YouTube? Why? Is it a bandwidth issue?

  4. Could be. I didn't think of that. But they don't block Hulu or TV channel websites, so I doubt it.
