Jon Stewart As Glenn Beck
"I've always promised you that if anything were going to happen that would threaten your very existence on this planet I'd let you know about it in a very melodramatic way," Glenn... er, Jon Stewart said on the April 7 episode of The Daily Show. Stewart dedicated that night's show to Beck's departure from Fox News, formatting The Daily Show as a direct parody to the conservative pundit's own program. Clownish facial expressions? Check. Unnecessary arm flailing? Check. Pregnant pauses? Unusual camera angles? Excessive shouting? Stewart had them all. "I'm not a prophet, ladies and gentleman," Stewart said at one point, while slobbering on his Beck-like reading glasses, "I'm just a man trying to kill 22 minutes 4 nights a week 42 weeks a year." He then proved emphatically that Glenn Beck was sent here by Jesus and that Obama's birth certificate proves that he's secretly a Mayan. Wait, are we sure this was a parody? This sounds like a typical Glenn Beck episode to us.
