“DEMS TAKE HOUSE!”

Last night’s tag-team coverage of the mid-term elections by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central was fun. Here are the segments where these two top-of-their-game pundit comedians overlapped. An interesting bit in there where Stewart seems to be acknowledging that Colbert’s popularity is eclipsing his own.
Stewart is the executive producer for Colbert, so he’s making money from the man. And it’s no secret that Stewart helped Stephen develop his pesona as ignorant, egotistical idiot pundit. I can’t imagine anybody seeing Colbert Report and not getting the joke, but I’m sure they’re out there!
These guys are just great. I noticed the gilt gold frame was GLEAMING when they came back from the commercial break. Colbert is so good at ad-libbing (was he?), in the bit about the “Southern” part of his body. I don’t think Stewart needs to worry about losing his show; the two NEED each other’s shows to play off each other.
