Reply #118: he did a great job

I enjoyed the whole show a lot. It was a little more grown-up and glamorous than it's been occasionally in the past. People didn't wear stupid outfits, they showed respect for the honor it is to be at a ceremony that honors people at the pinnacle of their profession. (Well, okay, the Wallace and Grommit guys had those big ties, and the March of the Penguins guys had those big penguins. Other than that....)

And Jon didn't try too hard, which would have been awkward (and he didn't mug or do his Woody Allen thing--phew! I adore him, but I wish he'd move on from the funny faces. So not necessary). He was professional and grown-up, too. It would have been great for US to see the Daily Show Jon, but that's not what he was hired to do. I think he fit the gestalt of the program absolutely perfectly. I was really happy for him.
