Don't call it a comeback . . . .
My first thought: Wow, I don't think I've ever seen the real Big Russ smile before. Certainly not so much.

One of the most intersting things about that performance was the huge gap between the audience's perceptions of him (warm and enthusiastic) and his own demeanor (stiff and uncomfortable). Maybe it was the satellite feed. Or maybe it's because he's the Jewish McGovern. Either way, he looked like a TV ad car salesman forcing a smile and trying unsuccesfully to walk that line between serious and jovial. The audience response suggests that Dems are looking so desperately for someone, anyone, to put up a fight for them that they're willing to look past major deficiencies of charisma and effectiveness.
I usually watch these things the next day on the comedy central website, and this interview has yet to be posted. This made me think there was something controversial said, but I guess this isn't the case?
TG--The only possible "controversial" aspect of the interview was how, um, friendly Jon Stewart was to Russ Feingold. He thanked him for his efforts on the NSA issue, etc. Maybe the corporate overlords were concerned that this was, well, kind of partisan? But I don't know.
