Craig Ferguson, SCG,* only has guests on that he gives a s*&t about as well. He says as much early in this segment from "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me"
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5449674 This wasn't always so with Craig, and probably wasn't with Stewart. There's a couple of really bad Jon Stewart interviews (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Posh Spice) from earlier in Stewart's tenure that suggest as much. I'd guess it shifted to the current situation (or Stewart became more disciplined about actually reading the books/watching the films) by the time the 2004 election season heated up.

I agree, and it applies across the board. I could be wrong, but it seems like Jon Stewart is the only guy who is allowed to book just the guests he gives a sh*t about. -- TV or Not TV ....
