This was the first time that the entire show only had one guest, but Obama is definitely worthy of having his own special show. It is really something that he was willing to go on that show while in office, because it isn't something that people would expect. The Daily Show and Colbert Report are becoming more and more accepted as credible places to take in the news - and some people only get their news from watching those satirical shows.
Obama told Stewart, "Jon, I love your show, but this is something where I have a profound disagreement with you...this notion that health care was timid."
Stewart made some suggestions that in regards to health reform Obama's legislative was timid at time.
Stewart calls Obama his most interesting guest ever. It was great that the entire half hour was dedicated to the single interview with President Obama - and that does show that The Daily Show really is more than just a show to make fun of politics and other news outlets.
The video has not yet been posted online, but hopefully there will be a re-run for those who missed it on Comedy Central, Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at 11 pm et.
The rerun today cut out the most important part of the show - Obamacare. The premium increases that the insurance companies are putting on existing members.
