    Jon Stewart single-handedly got CNN’s “Crossfire” ( featuring a not-yet-fully-crazy Tucker Carlson) cancelled just by going on the show and doing his thing.

    In the final exchange before a commercial break, Carlson remarked that he thought Stewart was “more fun on your show, just my opinion.” Stewart responded, “You know what’s interesting, though? You’re as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.”
