jon stewart @ merriweather???

why is he coming to merriweather?

probably because IMP offered him a substantial sum of money to perform there.

the next step is to sell tickets to people that want to see him perform, so that IMP can make that money back and maybe even make a profit.

the people that buy the tickets then get to come to merriweather that night, and mr. stewart will most likely tell some jokes.

it's a new system. hopefully it works out.
stewart sucks at stand up to be doing that big of a venue.
stay the fuck home then
All money aside, I bet Seth really loves the personal high of doing his job day-in and day-out. It must be nice to have such an appreciative audience out there.

I think it would be fun to see him. When is he going to be there?
Any time he needs his ass kissed, he need only come to this board. A heckler now and then probably won't bother him.

He'll more than likely perform most of the material from his new album, with some old hits thrown in.
i thought this was John Stewart, from the Kingston Trio.

its the comedian?????

I think the same….and another chance to enjoy Merriweather. If I can get decent seats, I'd go….

I dunno…this whole new system does seem a little complex. I mean do you have a diagram I could possibly see how this works and has it been done before?

okay smartass i understand that part, i just didnt know stewart did stand-up, and even so i would think they would book him at a indoor venue like the warner or something. but hey, more power to merriweather and seth im sure it will sell

but what if, god forbid, he refuses to be our monkey?!?!

by the way, last night's daily show was fantastic, the will ferrel interview was a classic, neither of them ever broke character
me thinks you might want to reconsider calling thatguy a smartass :)

depending on the weather this would be a good show to hang out on the lawn for, give the nice video screens installed out there.
Why not just put your tv out on your lawn and watch the Daily Show?

you see ryan . . . this is a board of "smarties" who enjoy proving their place in the world as being equaled by noone else. tattoos, piercings, and other desecrations to the skin seem to be all the rage with coolness. your initial question didn't gage to some preconceived level of what a nine thirty attitude should be. it should of have gone something like this:

why is john stewart playing at merriweather? i thought he was a comedian, and isn't an outdoor venue in the fall a weird place to perform? wouldn't it have better for him to do a "traveling" version of his show, with others as crutches to his comedy act? maybe even bring back colbert and frank d.
gotcha, okay and yes im am willing to admit the initial question sounded very stupid, i just really couldnt figure out how to word it correctly, so it came out looking very stupid. but still i think that performance may be very interesting, too bad i will be away for college otherwise i would consider going
