"The 11/3 Project-There's a war going on in America, and the stakes are nothing less than Glenn Beck's internal organs." http://www.comedycentral.com/

He does a pretty long segment about Glenn Beck being out a couple day's ago, pretending he cares about Beck's health and how anyone ELSE who loves their country should, too. He is spot on with his Beck show impersonation. :D

1. Thanks Jen, I read about
this last night and wanted to make sure I saw it.

Jon has a way of making us laugh at the worst things.:hi:

3. that was indeed hilarious
I wonder if Beck will start pretending to be Jon Stewart.... then again, that would require him to be accurate, honest, and funny and I think that's beyond his skills.

7. They ARE similar...
they both rallied large groups of hate-filled people to their supposed "good causes." They're both dangerous, too. The difference is that Beck has his own news channel to spew his hatred/conspiracies every night.

9. Didn't he have Beck's "style" down perfectly...
from the dramatic pauses, head shakes, arm flailings, crying, "connecting the (non-existent) dots," etc.?

10. From the very few times I've seen Beck...
and always from a source other than FAUX...I'd say he had it down to a hair...:D

He even sounded like him...it was a great performance...:rofl:

12. One of the funniest Daily Shows I've ever seen
Stewart usually does horrible impressions (which he admits), but his Glenn Beck was perfect. It was laugh-out-loud material!

13. I agree...
I was hoping they'd show parts of it on MSNBC today but again there was breaking news. Maybe tonight they'll show some of it. It was hilarious!

17. I think this is actually the first
impersonation of Beck that I've seen and Jon Stewart the last person I expected to pull it off. This will go down as a Daily Show classic.

15. I agree about his other impersonations, what I liked about this was he didn't bother with the voice.
It was all about Beck's lunatic postulations. I don't know how he kept a straight face all the way through.

18. That must be what it was
He's no good at the voices and he makes fun of himself when he tries to impersonate someone, but the gestures were amazing.

16. Yup-just throwing out key words into a nonsensical sentence.
And did you see the blackboard? I paused it and saw how he had Van Jones' name, ACORN, The hammer and sickle, and many other things all connecting to Beck's insides. "It's all there!" :rofl:
