The mother of all Glenn Beck parodies, via Jon Stewart

| »

Holy crap, that was fast. Here I was, thinking that it’d take at least a day or two before I could find a video of last night’s Daily Show episode that wasn’t from the Comedy Central website – and whaddaya know, here’s Gawker.TV with the piece of treasure. This may just be Jon Stewart’s finest moment: watch as he plays a special introduction and first segment wherein he completely, utterly and hilariously destroys everything that is Glenn Beck, from his loony rhetoric right down to his very character. This is brilliance squared.

[Note – I can’t seem to make the ruddy video appear here despite copying the code. No matter; just go watch it at Gawker.TV, here. It’s worth the diversion.]

Not to steal their line, but this might just make Glennie cry his first real tears ever. This is why Jon Stewart and The Daily Show are so worth watching.
