From the home studio of "America's Sweetheart" Jesse Thorne, meet the comedic guru Ben Karlin. In this interview for Jesse's show, The Sound of Young America, Karlin tells us how he went from making peanuts as The Onion's Chief Editor to becoming an eight-time Emmy Award winning television writer/producer. Jesse talks to "the man" about being lead writer on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report and his new endeavor as an author of a book called "You Too Will Get Crushed" which, if we judge by past successes is poised to be the next step to Karlin's total takeover of comic media.

I loved this. The daily show is awesome, Tucker Carlson got ripped from head to toe by Jon Stewart when he was on Crossfire, "I am not going to be your monkey", that was the greatest line. And I am not 100% sure but after Jon ripped him about wearing a bow tie, I haven't seen Tucker with a bow-tie since!

i don't understand the what the problem is with jon stewart offering his honest opinion on crossfire? isn't he soft & cuddly enough on the daily show? karlin seems to think that satire is only a comedic device. i've always felt that speaking truth to power whenever possible is of paramount importance...but that's just my opinion!)
