I first remember Jon Stewart from SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATER, hosting an anthology of themed standup comedy clips. I thought he was pretty amusing and hoped to see a lot more of his work. Who knew how my wish would be granted!
I go for bright, witty, creative men with facial hair. And I'm willing to ignore the lack of facial hair in Jon Stewart's case, because he has so much to offer in the other three categories.
I kind of got out of the habit of watching much TV when I got into the addiction that is the internet...but after seeing the clip of the Crossfire guest shot and then THIS, I can see I am going to have to start watching!
Good archive of stuff here (http://www.onlisareinsradar.com/archives/daily_show_comedy_clips/index.php), as well as of course here (http://www.comedycentral.com/timewasters/dl_general.jhtml?show=ds). You can usually find TDS on most of the major P2P file-sharing services, as well. There are a few BitTorrent pages, but I find them woefully out of date.
The truly whacked thing is that Tucker Carlson thought he got the better of Mr. Stewart in the exchange. What a sad, sad man. Still, he ties a mean bowtie.

Really, I always thought he was great, but after watching that "Crossfire," I was ready to kiss him.
What was that old anti-draft saying? "Girls say yes to guys who say no."?
How about:
"Girls say yes to guys who completely shred the bloviating talking heads on their own turf."
Doesn't scan as well, but...
