Jon Stewart to Take 12-Week 'Daily Show' Hiatus to Direct First Feature 'Rosewater,' John Oliver to Fill In | Deadline

popculturebrain:

Stewart wrote the script of ‘Rosewater’ based on Maziar Bahari’s book ‘Then They Came For Me: A Family’s Story Of Love, Captivity And Survival.’

EGOT! EGOT! EGOT!

OMG

And when you read about it, you find out the film is actually going to be something deadly serious (and for which Jon might feel personally responsible, hm)

No, I’m actually looking forward to John Oliver hosting, he is for sure the best choice (though someday I’d like to see Jessica Williams take a shot at it)

John Oliver discussing Rick Santorum’s overly honest conservative dogma.

Ha, I just posted this and then saw that Andrew Sullivan had done the same on his blog.

WHOA.  Awesome story is awesome…and stars a lawyer who has only been a lawyer for eight months.  Against Bank of America.

Five MILLION stars

I think this is, honest-to-God, the funniest thing I have ever seen John Oliver do.
