I know that Jon himself doesn't really think of himself or his show as competing with the "real news".

...I agree, he hasn't competed with the real news. He and his show were way better than the "real" news. To such an extent that to say they were in "competition" is laughable.

The "real" news blathers on about drivel that corporate interests and juggernauts like Murdoch and Trump want us to hear about. And when it isn't doing that, it trying to shovel and spin enough horseshit to fill a 24-hour "news cycle". Garbage in, garbage out.

In trying to be a satire or parody of the "real" news, Jon Stewart has actually helmed a show that really informs, yet does it with wit, logic, and some amazingly real insight.

So, thanks for being my primary source of "news", be it fake or real, for the past 10+ years Jon. Enjoy your retirement or whatever comes next -- nobody deserves it more than you.

Eh, I don't really get what everyone is going on about. Yah Bill Maher comes off as a bit of a dick most times, but isn't that kind of the point of his show in the first place? It's not an interview show, it's an opinion/discussion show where him and his guests are often shouting over each other at times.

On top of that he's also a comedian. Jon Stewart will try and get a laugh when he can during an interview as well, granted he's more subtle about it.

To me this was a very standard interview for Maher, possibly even more retrained than usual. You could definitely argue he's not a good interviewer, but I guess that depends on what your expectation for a Bill Maher interview is.

He's not just going to sit there and let the person blab on for the entire 8 minutes (very short of amount of time for a decent interview in the first place). Bill's whole persona is someone who has a very specific opinion or slant or bias if you will and he's made a career out of speaking his mind in an 'in your face' kind of way. Obviously he's going to interject here and there and steer the conversation towards an area that appeals to his audience/pet topics.
