Yeah I love Roy Wood's drawl as a raconteur, but I thought Hasan showed the most classic Daily Show presence, especially with his cutting, but affable interview with Kevin O'Leary. Very Jon Stewart, the kind of thing that burned McCain. It looks like he'll be his own downfall with all of that. That whole thing is a tough argument for how much fantasy is to be allowed for, in a comedian's take on subject matter.
Too be fair, when you do sell your schtick as exasperated earnestness mixed with jadedness and then trade in inflammatory fake events of things the could have happened to you, then you kind of become a mirror of folks like Alex Jones. Maybe that's extreme, but I'm kind of standing by it. All that said, and honestly, maybe I'm disappointed because I really, really like Hasan, but his juvenile response and lack of introspection is more than a bit disappointing.
