I used to love The Daily Show, but after a few years Stewart's personality and viewpoints have worn thin on me. The way he grandstands isn't really much more levelheaded than the people he rails against. He just comes off as a an angry lunatic half the time. Colbert, on the other hand, elevates it to performance art. Remember that episode where Stewart was trying to parody Glenn Beck? He was terrible and unfunny. Colbert does the same thing every day and makes it hilarious.
I really felt for Jon when I saw this. He is really sincere in his opinion (and right!) but they mistake him for a clown instead of someone who really has something to say and even has more depht than those two guys. Don't know if he would ever be in another place than the daily show though.Diligent said:

Stephen is funnier, but I like Jon more, just because he gets more to the point in interviews and stuff like that, and it's more fun to see his view on things.
John stewart and steven colbert are two different styles of humor. John stewart is kinda like the onion in that he makes fun of events. Except the events are real and he makes fun of real people who did and said things that were dumb and stupid. It can get really tense as people march down there to give him the whatfor and it turns into less of a comedy and into a real debate that extends further than the shows timeslot.
The colbert report by it's orignal functions is a parody of The O-reily show. You'll see paralells. colbert's act is to be the crazy arrogant pundits that litter television. But he does it so well that it comes off as hilarious and funny so much so that playing along with him actually works to ones benefit hence the colbert bump. The only thing is that there's never a break from acting even with serious people that show up to defend there case. That might be annoying.
Still though. As far as I am concered they are of equal greatness if only for that epic fight they had with Conan O' brian during the writers strike.

Craig Kilborn!
Oh wait, the show actually got better when Jon Stewart became the host. I like Colbert a lot, but I like Stewart just a little better. Just makes me wish they'd do a Comedy Central Roast of Jon Stewart already. With Steven Colbert as the Roastmaster of course.
Jon.
Don't get me wrong, I watch both religiously, but I enjoy how Jon makes real news funny more than I enjoy watching a funny man read the news. If that makes any sense to anyone but me.
