Who Would You Rather: Stephen Colbert vs. Jon Stewart?

Posted by Emily Farris

 

And we're not talking about who you'd rather watch on Comedy Central. This is a question we've been asking ourselves for a really long time and we still can't come up with an answer.

This took me less than a second:

Colbert.

Jon, hands down. I've been madly in love with him since before Colbert had his own show. Colbert is definitely funny but sometimes his persona can get just a little tiresome, although I love the show. Jon manages to make make sincerity funny, which is harder I think--it's not easy to be a genuinely funny straight man--and he's the trail-blazer and a better interviewer than most anchors on "serious" news. Plus he's cute. So, all in all, funny, sexy, and an asset to American political discourse. Take me now, Jon!

Jon Stewart.

However, I seem to recall this match up was the very first WWYR (soon after Colbert Report debuted).

Colbert.  At the end of the day he hangs it up and becomes someone else.  Stewart is always Stewart.

Definitely Colbert - especially when his hair's done like in his "I'm singing in Korean" music video! ;) LOL

Definitely Jon.

for so long i would have said Jon, but i think the constant self-deprecation has taken away a bit of his sex appeal. Steve on the other hand has such bravado that it makes him probably seem sexier than he is. Also, it's the straight laced guys who are kinky. Remember when he had his female intern count and he got all aroused?

I think I have to answer Colbert. But still wouldn't kick Stewart out of bed.

Colbert...just imagine the levels of role-playing that would go to.

HELLO! they arent asking who you like better or who you think is funnier, they are asking which one you would rather have hot steamy sex with.

JON STEWART EVERY SINGLE TIME

Colbert, no question.  That piercing gaze, the nimble eyebrows. . . that immovable hair.  He's also a very graceful dancer.  I like when he spins.

I thought you'd asked this one once before, too. I have to say that after the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, many of us OWE Colbert no-holds-barred sex. (He'd get my vote anyway.)

a friend and I had this exact argument a few days ago! I'm all Colbert, she's all Stewart.

Mo Rocca...but sadly, since he doesn't have his own show, Stewart. Colbert is cute, but I like Stewart's personality better.
