s JON STEWART AS GLENN BECK large Stewart spoofs Beck, weeps for his appendixKeith Olbermann's recent quip in which he told Fox News host Glenn Beck to "go to hell" was only the beginning.

In an amusing segment Thursday night, the Daily Show's Jon Stewart announced the 11/3 project to commemorate the date of Glenn Beck appendicitis.

"There's a larger more serious point to be made here," warned Stewart. "You may remember that 18 months ago Glenn Beck was hospitalized after botched hemorrhoid surgery. This appendix thing is not an isolated incident," Stewart said, using his best Beck impersonation.

"You certainly won't hear about it in the mainstream media. There's a war going on. The stakes are nothing less than Glenn Beck's internal organs," said Stewart.

He continued, "Apparently the medicine that was good enough for our founding fathers is now considered politcally or medically incorrect," mocking an idea often repeated by Glenn Beck. "I'm not saying this is a plot by Hitler to steal Glenn Beck from all of us internal organ by internal organ by internal organ and then reprogram him to use as a weapon. But isn't it fascinating that I'm the only one with the courage to ask these questions?"

Stewart then leapt from his seat to a chalk board and proceeded to investigate Beck's conspiratorial anatomy.

This video is from Comedy Central's The Daily Show, broadcast Nov. 5, 2009.

    I sent this on to my kids because it is so funny. I suggest others send this on to their family and friends. Beck is a disease, and, as they say in Reader's Digest, laughter is the best medicine.

    Maybe the "Wizard of FAUX" will eventually give the freak a brain."

    Jon Stewart is one funny man.

    Glenn Beck (and I know most people know this already) is a Neo-Con, NOT a libertarian. As a libertarian, I hate it when he calls himself one.

    Jon Stewart is a genius. I laughed so hard my stomach is hurting me. He had the phoniness of Glenn Beck down pat. This is why the Daily Show is the best show on TV and is a true news show. Kudos to Jon Stewart for his masterful performance.
  • It's not the Communists who want to socialize your Nazism — Hahahaha!

    Is that really how Glenn Beck sounds ?
    Has anybody here actually watched the buzzcut crybaby ?
    It seems like a high school talent show skit...
  • sosojoe
    The funniest case of appendicitis in the history of medicine!
  • jcdenton
    I try to watch Glenn Beck every day and Jon Stewart has the weepy fatso mannerisms down to a T!

    Pfft, and Stewart says he's a bad actor. This is one of the greatest things he has done in recent memory.
