Probably the majority of you Hubsters, particularly of the American persuasion, are spending today reflecting on the events of and after September 11, 2001. Regardless of your age at the time, your ethnicity, or your location, Sept. 11th profoundly affected all of us in ways that still continue to unfold even ten years later. Undoubtedly it was a day that, as it has been constantly and consistently stressed, changed our nation forever.
However, as much as there was tragedy, was there also heroic patriotism and true American resiliency. This resiliency was crystallized in the magnificent monologue that Jon Stewart began the The Daily Show with on their first show back after the event, on September, 20, 2001. Jon Stewart seems to, in the clip we are going to present here, express the deep sadness, frustration, and yes, the hope, that New Yorkers, Americans, and the world at large were experiencing at the time.
And just because it’s funny, take a look at this clip which occurred shortly after the return to shows on TDS, which features Stephen and his waveringly-unwavering trust in post-9/11 Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
What are you thinking about today? Do you have memories from The Daily Show, or were there specific media figures whom you felt captured the zeitgeist of America on that fateful day (or the days that followed)? Do share in the comments.
