* Jon Stewart's end speech at the Restore Sanity and/or Fear Rally.

* The ''best'' moment for the show, - on 10/27/2010, President BarackObama appeared on the show. That's right - a (self-proclaimed) ''comedy'' show managed to score an interview with a ''sitting President''.

* The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. All of it.

* The ''best'' moment for the show, regardless of how the interview goes - on 10/27/2010, President BarackObama will appear on the show. That's right - a (self-proclaimed) ''comedy'' show managed to score an interview with a ''sitting President''.

* The [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-june-15-2010/respect-my-authoritah June 15th, 2010]] episode, wherein John takes President Obama to task regarding how he promised to end the Bush administration's treatment of detaining terrorists without trial as well as putting a stop to Extraordinary Rendition, only to take both of those things even ''further'' than Bush did. He ends by making a comparison to ''TheLordOfTheRings'', claiming that Obama has essentially become like Frodo did once he reached Mount Doom (especially hilarious since Colbert is usually the one who makes such comparisons).

** And they topped the CMoA that was it's announcement, by having Oprah show up on the show to give every single audience member a plane ticket to the rally.

There's a very, very good reason why Jon Stewart was [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/22/time-magazine-poll-jon-st_n_242933.html voted America's most trusted newscaster]] after Walter Cronkite passed away. Some choice moments:

* There's the time on [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-january-14-2010/haiti-earthquake-reactions January 14, 2010]], right after the Haiti Earthquake, when he called out Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson and Rachel Maddow for their total insensitivity and heartlessness in the face of such unspeakable tragedy. He even responded to Robertson by ''quoting the Bible at him''.

---->''"I went to this place, 'Crossfire,' which is a nuanced public debate show [[UnfortunateImplications named after the stray bullets that strike and kill innocent bystanders during a gang fight]]. So I go to 'Crossfire' and, let's face it, I was dehydrated -- it's the MartinLawrence defense; I hadn't, perhaps, my proper water that day -- and I had always in the past mentioned to friends... and... people I meet on the street that I think that show... uh, '''[[SophisticatedAsHell blows]]'''. So I thought it was only the right thing to do to go and say it to them personally on their program. But here's the thing about confronting someone with that on their show... they're '''there'''. [[{{Understatement}} Uncomfortable~]]! And they were very mad, because apparently, when you invite someone on a show called 'Crossfire' and you express an opinion, they... [[InsaneTrollLogic they don't care for that]]. Apparently, my opinion was not-- I've seen this show! That's all they do is express opinions! They just shout at each other! But apparently if that opinion is not one of [[MyCountryRightOrWrong your standard right/left opinions]], they just... '''bwuh!''' I told them that I thought their show was... uh... hurting America, and they came back at me pretty good. [[EpicFail They said I wasn't being funny]]. I said to them, 'I know that. But tomorrow I will go back to being funny, and your show '''will still blow'''.'"''

-->'''Jon Stewart''': That's right! The guy they're painting as a sinister money force ''owns'' part of Fox News!
