Just to finish off from class. Let's assume, like you suggested, that Stewart was in character for his interview on Crossfire. You argued that such a thing was inappropriate. Stewart can no longer hide behind his character as a comedian, since he has the same sort of journalistic responsibilities.
Stewart has a rebuttal though. He turns to Tucker and says "hey buddy, you're in character too." How can we expect Stewart to appear as a real person on Crossfire, break character (if he is even in one) for the sake of someone else's theatre?

I agree, but just for argument's sake perhaps crossfire brings real people into the theater environment to see how they do. Jon Stewart just took on the role of Jon Stewart from the daily show to cover his own failures
If the role of Crossfire is to bring real people into a theatre to see how they do then it is an incredibly disingenuous program.
What failures does Jon Stewart have? He's half god right?
