Movie #2136 ........................."Mark Twain Prize to Jon Stewart 2022 (PBS)

 Movie #2136 "Mark Twain Award Prize to Jon Stewart 2022 (PBS) -- I also missed this when it was on t.v. in June, and so I googled where to stream it and got a resounding PBS --- I didn't kn ow it was a free app you can put on your apple t,.v., so I did and voila --- the Mark Twain prize shows were all there, from Letterman, to Chapell, to Julia Louis Dreyfus --- I'm sure they are all fun, too.  And I have seen most of them, but esp. wanted to see this one, Jon Stewart from the Daily Show because there seems to be so much more to this guy than just comedy ---- and the show did not disappoint;  Wow, when Dave Chapelle starts out , and Stephen Colbert is in the end spot, I don't think you can go wrong with this type of roasting humor.  Jon doesn't like people to praise him, yet there are several comedians in the business right now who owe their success to him, so the job here was to praise him while making fun of him.  I loved it --- it gets pretty blue in spots, but to balance that, there's some moments with firefighters that would break your heart.  I give this also a 5 out of 5 and recommend it.
