Cramer on The Daily Show


This should be good.

If you've been watching The Daily Show, then you know that Jon Stewart made comments about Jim Cramer (something about Cramer recommending Bear Stearns), and when Jim Cramer was asked about it on a tv show a faux-fight was formed by the media.

Jim Cramer is on The Daily Show tonight.

It was perhaps the hardest lashing Stewart has given to a TV commentator since 2004 when he called Tucker Carlson and his then co-host Paul Begala "partisan hacks" on CNN's "Crossfire," the since canceled political commentary program.

The program opened in mock hype of the confrontation, which caught headlines through the week as each snipped at the other over the air. The show announced it as "the weeklong feud of the century."

In his opening, Stewart announced that it was "go time." He played a video clip of Cramer's Thursday guest appearance on "The Martha Stewart Show" in which Cramer beat a mound of dough, pretending it was Stewart.

Said Stewart: "Mr. Cramer, don't you destroy enough dough on your own show?"

Once Cramer came out for the interview, Stewart wondered: "How the hell did we get here?"

Cramer, his sleeves characteristically rolled up, said he was a "fan of the show."

But the humorous tone — at least for Stewart — changed as the interview continued.
