They invited him onto a "serious" show and he wanted to be serious. Carlson didn't like what he was being serious about and instead of addressing it, acted like a dick. The only reason why either of the two were "stumped as to what to do" was because they had absolutely nothing to say to counter the criticism.

After several attempts to get Stewart to engage in the show's dynamic or to otherwise"be funny" (to which he replied "I'm not your monkey"), Carlson suggested the obvious - that having such a high-handed, lecturing, self-important twit scolding everyone at the dinner table would not be very much fun.

The show's dynamic? I thought debate
was the show's dynamic? Is he only allowed to respond to direct questions on their show? Where is the proper forum for him to ask them why they aren't doing their jobs as "journalists?"
By the way, Carlson must have been talking to you when he made that last comment because it only makes sense to the purposefully stupid. If you look real hard at the tv the next time you tune into Crossfire, you will notice that they aren't sitting at a fucking dinner table.

Stewart is more self-deprecating than Carlson could ever hope to be. Clearly you don't watch anything he does.

BTW - does anyone else here recall what a pussy Stewart was - many years ago - when doing a show on MTV that purported to "retire" the song Ice Ice Baby. Much like Stewart on Crossfire, Rob "Vanilla" Ice Van Winkle decided to ignore the concept of the show and go off-script and trash the set. Stewart was speechless and almost looked like he was going to cry. Et tu, Jonnne.

Yeah. I saw it. Vanilla Ice took a fucking bat to everything on the set and I think everyone in the room thought he had lost his fucking mind because they were making fun of him and his video to his face. Shit was flying everywhere. And I think Stewart (and others) were reacting to it in the funniest way they could. Exaggerated fear.
And the fact that you added this to your post shows to what lengths you will go to not prove a point.
