John Stewart communicates a sincerity that the rest of the correspondents and hosts haven't really managed. They mix in a bit too much smugness or something. I find them all fine in small doses, but only John Oliver has really matched those moments where John Stewart looks at the camera and seems to be pleading with ALL of the American people. He had a way of criticizing without being elitist.

Stewart has been doing this for decades, he literally invented it

Everyone else is playing a character, he just goes up there and talks.

Like, obviously they're not the same. They have less experience than Stewart if you added them all up together
