don’t be dissing Jon Stewart on any blog Esther is involved with or you will find yourself writing little stories about Amy Winehouse on some blog that is even more obscure than Jewlicious.

Ouch! And I might i add, “YUCK!”

Is that your attempt at humor Chutzpah or are you really that bitter about Tom?

I {heart} Jon Stewart. And I’d be happy to {shofar} him.

Stewart did fine. Who watches the Oscars for the host, anyway? When he brought Marketa Irglova back out to say her thanks, though… *sigh*.
I say funny, self-deprecating, intelligent sweetheart with integrity, you say whiny sissy. Whatever. What do you get out of calling successful people ugly names anyway, beth?

Yoseph! First of all, Mazal Tov! Mazal Tov!! I can’t even begin to address what you are writing here. Go take care of your new baby and her Mom. Who cares about Jon Stewart??? What’s an Oscar compared to a new baby girl?

The writers strike was probably a factor in Stewart’s heart not being in the production. We’re all talented when we really want to be, and very capable of being unimpressive and boring when we hate whoever is wicked enough to be watching our evil show, when it does seem wrong.

Gaydolph Titler was ridiculous.

Speaking of something else Jewish people like? Being self-depricating to the point of self-loathing!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, hosting the Oscars is a thankless job. There's no way to do a 3-4-hour broadcast where so much of the content is boring and do it in a way that's new and exciting. Ellen, Chris Rock, Stewart, even Billy Crystal...these are very highly-skilled, funny people. But the Oscars are an institution, and institutions aren't good with change or innovation, generally speaking. And given the months of "will they have an Oscars or won't they" because of the writers' strike, I think Jon did a fine job. Who can forget the failed campaign of Gaydolph Titler? (Within an hour of the broadcast, there was already a t-shirt, courtesy of Bangitout.) BTW, you know something else Jewish people like? Jon Stewart.

Yes… I am still trying to get a tv network or cable niche station to broadcast my annual DARYL AWARDS ceremony, in which we give a statue to the best Jewish films of the year. Our clip segment in 2008 will be historial uses of binoculars and yiddish accents in English language films

Larry, things get drab when the cover starts losing content people can relate to. There are people who cannot relate to religious customs / ceremonies just as there are people to who those customs / ceremonies are meaningful. The Oscars used to be the film award event, now there seems to be some kind of film award event or another every weekend.

Possibly people become less and less interested in “the same procedure as every year”.
