Today, Jon Stewart sat down with Bill O'Reilly for a frank discussion on a range of issues, the first part of which aired tonight. Inside, video of the highlights, including Stewart's opinions on President Obama's performance and Fox News' reputation.

Tonight was the first half of Jon Stewart's two-night appearance on The O'Reilly Factor. We were very excited: Would Stewart bust out a smackdown of Jim Cramer-sized proportions? Would Bill O'Reilly lose his shit? Was it being broadcast in 3-D?

Today at Gawker.TV, Channing Tatum explains how he burned his penis, Gordon Ramsay fights with his contestants, Marky Mark's ab workout, Bruce Jenner has a laugh at Fox News' fact-checking, and Jon Stewart re-imagines a Jewish Scooby Doo.

Ever wonder what going on the The Daily Show is like? Here's a rundown from recent guest Ethan Watters, author of Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche. This post was first published on The Rumpus.

Jon and Dr. Bagelman, the Hasidic-bagel-puppet, met up in the bathroom at the "Story Hole." They watched some disturbing children's cartoons produced by Hamas. Dr. Bagelman counters these anti-Semitic cartoons with his own retelling of a classic cartoon: "Jewby Doo."

Washington Post conventional wisdom repeater Howie "Howard" Kurtz wrote a column about Jon Stewart yesterday and—OMG—Jon Stewart totally mentioned it on TV last night. So Howie Kurtz wrote a story about that fact, for the newspaper. Real journalism.

Depending on your views, last Friday, President Obama hectored the House Republicans or calmly (smugly?) explained to them that everybody needs to grow up and act their age, not their shoe size, if they wanted to actually get anything done.

Remember when Chris Matthews said that stupid thing about Obama after the State of the Union last night? "I forgot he was black for an hour tonight." Well, Jon Stewart and Wyatt Cenac made fun of this tonight.

Earlier this week, Jon Stewart slammed Keith Olbermann in a Daily Show "Special Comment" for Olbermann's patently mediocre, ridiculous, immature, hyperbole-strewn commentary-cum-namecalling as of late. And last night, Olbermann responded in typical Olbermann fashion: like an asshole.

Tonight, while David Letterman and Jay Leno were busy insulting each other, Conan O'Brien did everything he could to piss off NBC: the return of the Masturbating Bear, a $1.5 million prop and a bombshell dropped by guest Adam Sandler.

Has it really been a year since Obama was inaugurated? Not yet. In 22 minutes it will be, though. Tonight, Jon Stewart and Larry Wilmore took a look back at Obama's first year. Key lesson: We need new Obama jokes.

Today at Gawker.TV, Jeff Zucker makes an appearance on Charlie Rose, Alyssa Milano's steamy 80s workout video, Jon Stewart tears apart his own political party, The Bachelor's latest humiliating rejection, and Jennifer Lopez tries her hand at stand-up comedy.

Last night the host of The Daily Show let out his frustration. It seems his own party's management of majority leadership leaves something to be desired, especially when it comes to Massachusetts.

This evening's late night lineup definitely delivered the drama. For the first time, Jay Leno went after Conan O'Brien, before being DESTROYED on his own show by Jimmy Kimmel. O'Brien continued to go rogue, Letterman didn't let up, and more.

Not that they shouldn't cover it! But that they should not use this tragedy to advance their particular ideological points. Tonight on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart made this point in a humorous way. Also slammed: Pat Robertson.

Jon Stewart does a lot of things right. Last night, though, he blew his chance to eviscerate John Yoo—author of the Bush torture memos. But tonight he made everything right with this charming mea culpa.

Today at Gawker.TV, Mariah Carey's latest crazytalk, Lady Gaga swings by Launch My Line, Meredith Vieira envies Gerard Butler's rack, Jon Stewart's George Lucas interview, Michael Cera chills in the hot tub with the cast of Jersey Shore.
