So pretentious practically makes me ill to watch him... I sort of feel the same way about John Stewart, his idea of comedy is saying something and mugging for the camera with a look on his face that says "Look how funny I am".... cheap humor and is lacking in any kind of creativity..... Hack comedy.....
John Stewart is hilarious.

His distinguished career says otherwise

I personally find Jon Stewart to be about a thousand times more clever and creative than Bill Maher (and about ten million times less dour and sour, more importantly), but I totally get how people may find either to be self-righteous and/or smug.

Sure they're smug, but I, and thousands of others find them both hilarious

What's a moderate conservative? I thought they went extinct back in the 80s.

Tongue-in-cheek humor IS humor, though. It might not be your particular favorite type of humor, but that doesn't make it less so. Personally, I'll take political satire and sardonic tongue-in-cheek humor over most other forms of humor any day. But I don't deny that slapstick, absurdist comedy, certain types of improv, etc. constitute comedy, just because they're not my preferred style.

You should probably watch your mouth.
