Jon Stewart Does Glenn Beck

Much love already flows for John Stewart, but on Thursday March 18, The Daily Show on Comedy Central took it up a notch. In about 15 minutes Stewart put on an all-encompassing and hilarious impersonation of Glenn Beck from Fox News, complete with props, outbursts and a few (fake) tears.
