Much has already been written in a short time about Jon Stewart’s joke-free monologue on the tragedy of the Charleston church shooting in the US.
Listen for the shift by the audience, awkwardly laughing at early remarks until they realise Stewart speaks the truth.
And then you could hear a pin drop.

What sort of ratings does this get on Comedy Channel? I haven’t seen it much in the Top 20 Foxtel shows.
If there were more smart-thinking Americans, Congress wouldn’t be dominated by the Republicans. And the Gun Lobby’s response is to suggest more guns in churches … crazy.
While this isn’t a political forum you did swing the gate open. Didn’t Obama promise a strong change on gun laws about 15 shootings ago. This was at a time when Democrats held the majority however Obama is largely due to that decline. Stewart’s Also a hard line leftists why isn’t he demanding Obama explain why this hasn’t happened and start moving?
Isn’t all murders because of hate? I really don’t get the term hate crime.
A “hate crime” is one that is motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice.
I know what It means, I just think most murders are because of hate so using hate like this is rubbish. It was a terrorist attack on a African American church.
Think you are confusing terrorism with racial hatred.
No I am not, all attacks are because of hate, even in the vid above he says its a terror attack.
He did well, but I disagree, the U.S. and even oz are not racist. Just because some nut job killed people doesn’t make that group of people racist. that thinking is racist.
We should be more focused on the hate of the church and religion. I also can’t see how he thinks ISIS isn’t as bad as the at home attacks. Isis is far worse doesn’t he remember 9-11
Jon’s point was that Americans care more about external threats than what’s happening in their own backyard.
So they should, 9-11 was much worse. They should focus inwards and outwards with outwards still being more Important
Jon Stewart proves there are some smart thinking Americans.
By copying the intro technique often used by Craig Ferguson
Jon Stewart’s show started in 1999, while Ferguson’s started in 2005. You do the math on who copied who.
