Master and Disciple: Jon Stewart and Trevor Noah

This is from a few months back --- June 25, 2020 --- and is a great heart-to-heart, exchange, and mutual admiration between two of the greats of comedy.

Notable from comments:

[A]ll the people that Jon Stewart hired are now at the top of their game and have their own shows: John Oliver , Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee, Hasan Minhaj, Trevor Noah .. all of them can be traced back to Jon Stewart . He has an amazing eye for talented people.

Not just seeking out and attracting, but developing and motivating. Un underappreciated aspect of Stewart's greatness is that he's shaped the next generation of comics. Packing the court jesters, as it were.

A great insight into art, craft, politics, and respect.

This brings to mind Stewart's own interview with George Carlin, in 1997:
