wiegie Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) some of his opening monologue jokes didn't go over too well (which made me find them even more amusing) Edited March 6, 2006 by wiegie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukdown Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Man, you can't be serious. That was great stuff. He will definitely be invited back. That was no "Oprah-Uma, Uma-Oprah" at all. The Cowboy montage was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 My wife and I are thinking he's doing a pretty good job (and we don't know his work all that well). Certainly alot better than some past MC's (Letterman comes to mind.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetlips Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I think he did a great job. The joke that didnt go over well was the Hollywood crowd being out of touch with the real world. Its too true. I still think he will be invited back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 I liked how Jon Stewart called the crowd out on not being as excited as the Three 6 Mafia. I still don't think they will have him back next year. (and for the record, I like Stewart and he has been cracking me up all night--I just don't think the Academy shares my sense of humor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he will be invited back. 1353134[/snapback] I dunno, Bay and Bruckheimer sure seem to know what America likes to see on the big screen - lotsa stuff blowin' up. Unfortunately, no one has re-discovered the early 80s revelation that gratuitous nudity sells, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his fault, but he seems struggling up there. I liked the "I think it just got a little easier for a pimp....". EDIT: And the cowboy montage at the beginning was absolutely hilarious.

dukdown Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) I think Jon Stewart has a job for life if he wants it. His written material, the film montages, and his ad-libs couldn't have been any better. He took one of the biggest rooms there is, and looked very natural without any comprimise. All the reviews on his performance I can guarantee will be top-flight. Edited March 6, 2006 by dukdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 let me be perfectly clear here--this post was not about criticizing Jon Stewart, it was about criticizing the "academy" (I think they should bring him back next year, I just don't think they will) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 "Although, as an avid watcher of the Oscars, I can't help but be a little disappointed with the choice." -John Stewart Reminds me of the Groucho quote "I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have someone like me as a member" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
