Presumably most of you have seen/heard about this Jon Stewart/Jim Cramer media altercation. In case you haven't, here are the videos. It all started back on March 4th when CNBC TV personality Rick Santelli backed out on his scheduled appearance on the Daily Show at the last minute.
Shortly after it aired, this video created a stir among the politically inclined public. Apparently the only CNBC personality that reacted was Mad Money host Jim Cramer. Cramer was upset about the claim that The Daily Show made in its CNBC montage. In this next video Stewart admits that Cramer's complaint is technically correct, but rips him to shreds in the process.
After Stewart personally attacked Cramer, Cramer's parent company NBC (technically GE) had him appear on many of their programs to show their support. Stewart played off of this by pretending that his parent company, Viacom, did the same for him.
In this next video, Stewart responds to the media's portrayal of his back and forth with Cramer and announces that Cramer will appear on his show.
Of course, my homeboy Stephen Colbert, formerly of The Daily Show, wanted to get in on the fun.
Here is the intro for the show in which Cramer appeared. It might be better than the interview itself.
After all the hype, here is part 1 of 3 of the interview
I don't know why part one of such an anticipated event would only last one minute and thirty-eight seconds. But let's be honest, it happens. Here is part 2 of 3.
And finally, part 3 of 3. Big ups to anyone that's actually made it this far and is still interested.
This entire situation is very reminiscent of Syracuse University's recent run in the Big East tournament. They, like the videos, started off great, but by the end they ran out of gas while still having their moments.
