Jon Stewart's 'The Daily Show' run tastefully mixed news, comedy
Colin Remick
@Crems4
This week, Jon Stewart announced on "The Daily Show" that he would retire sometime at the end of 2015, ending perhaps one of the most respected, thoughtful and well-done tenures of any newsman in history. Having a job in which one makes fun of the news, or at least spins it in a humorous way, is not easy and is something that may seem more appropriate for an SNL skit than a nightly news show. However, over the better part of the last two decades, Stewart has been able to make his show a beacon for journalism that remains fresh and well done.
Stewart took over "The Daily Show" in 1999
after a brief and largely uninteresting spell under the host Craig Kilborn, best known for his brief role in the film "Old School." At this time, "The Daily Show" was a fledgling program on a network that relied almost solely on "South Park" and "Beavis and Butt-head" for any sort of viewership.
Most importantly, however, was that the early incarnation of the program was much less politically inspired, rather basing its comedic content on character-driven humor and sketches. When Kilborn left amidst a small amount of controversy, it was unclear whether the show would continue. Then came Stewart.
At the time, Stewart was best known for his roles
in films like "Big Daddy" and a brief appearance in "Half Baked." He had also hosted several late night comedy shows for Comedy Central since the mid-90s. He was known as one of the most poignant guys in the business, interested not in fame or massive comedy specials, but rather in a quest for truth and conveying it in a comedic and understandable way. In order to do this, Stewart took on a much deeper role in the production of the show than Kilborn had attempted by acting as both an executive producer and a lead writer.
Through his show, we get comedy in one of the most original forms, presented to us in a way that is genuine and funny but truly thought-
Six unlucky movies to watch this Friday the 13th
provoking as well. We also got to see the early work of actors and newsmen like Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert, who both acted as correspondents in the early, formative years of the show.
Stewart blurs the line between comedy and news. He makes us question what we are hearing and how it is presented. In a new media age of overdone segments, big transitions and any and all attempts the big news corporations tried to shift viewers' attention from what was really happening in the world, Stewart brings it back and makes it real. If Colbert introduced us to the true limits of satire, it is safe to say that Stewart introduced us to the depths of sincerity.

BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD
Renowned director Sidney Lumet's final film blisters with tension from
There's a whole series of gory slasher flicks named after the unlucky Friday the 13th, but chances are you're worried about things going inexplicably wrong all day instead of fearing Jason Voorhees. In hopes you don't get the short end of the stick tomorrow, you can watch these films about other people's lives unraveling instead.
MARGIN CALL
A phenomenal ensemble including Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons and Zachary Quinto star in this Wall Street thriller about an investment firm that realizes the impending 2008 market crash the night before it happens. There's a powerful air of dread and helplessness flowing throughout it as these big-wig suits and traders realize the doom about to befall everyone.

A SERIOUS MAN
GRAVITY
Disaster strikes a space shuttle and newbie astronaut Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) goes through zero-gravity hell, in real time. Every option for survival she embarks upon brings her closer and closer to death in one edge-of-your-seat obstacle after another. The unparalleled, virtuoso continuous shots and stunning special effects put viewers right in Stone's terrifying perspective with a nerve-grinding intensity earthly experiences can't match.
This underappreciated Coen Brothers dark comedy slams hapless college professor Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) with one unfortunate problem after another, his misery unfolding in a clever and transcendent rhythm. Larry's wife asks for a get (a Jewish divorce), the vote on his tenure looks unfavorable, he's being blackmailed and the hilariously odd advice from his rabbis only leads him to more questions.
Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke's livewire performances as brothers who set up a robbery of their parents' jewelry store, which goes terribly, deathly wrong. The characters' lives then spiral uncontrollably toward destruction in the suspenseful aftermath.
THE HUNT
A child's lie has huge consequences for a small Danish community in this haunting, masterfully executed foreign drama, so powerful it stays with you for months. After a kindergarten says her teacher (Mads Mikkelsen) molested her, he becomes the target of a vicious witch hunt by the townspeople — even his friends — as they turn against him, while he
tries to prove his innocence before his life completely falls apart.
WAKE IN FRIGHT
This surreal Australian thriller from 1971, lost to time until 2009, shows the unnerving psychological breakdown of a teacher in the blazing, wild desert Outback. Stopped in a barbaric town and waiting for a plane, the teacher gets drunk (like all the other citizens) at the behest of a policeman and subsequently gambles all his money away. Then he falls in with a group of unhinged ruffians, is forced into a brutal kangaroo hunt and suffers even worse in the savage sun.
