NBC would have offered The Daily Show's Jon Stewart 'virtually anything' to step into the role of Meet the Press host, believing that he could liven up the Sunday morning political format.
Just one month after Chuck Todd took the anchor chair for the weekly news program, reports have surfaced that the network had in fact been desperate for Stewart to front the show.
But whatever money or deal was put on the table, comedian and media critic Stewart has resisted NBC's advances and remains at his post on Comedy Central.

A figgin' comedian. If you are still watching meet the press, stop it. Dont feed the beast.
Please leave comedy out of politics.
"leave comedy out of politics" ..you are joking, yes?!
When there are clowns who still think the Sun revolves around the earth 'representing' us in science committees ..it's comedy - albeit tragic comedy.
BTW: the best way to watch FOX news is on the Stewart show.

I've stopped watching all the network news casts because you can no longer trust what they say. Seems like all they do is feed both government and corporate propaganda. The news is totally left leaning, and it doesn't matter what network you watch, its all the same news feed to them by the government. Whats worse is all the drug commercials from the drug companies trying to sell you something that has side effects worse than the disease you were diagnosed with!
F jon spewart.
