It’s not working:

Maybe they need to ask Jon Stewart to come host a YouTube episode from the street.

“If the writers’ strike fails, it won’t be on account of Jon Stewart,” reports Portfolio. “In a show of solidarity with his fellow scribes, the Daily Show host has told his writing staff that he will cover all their salaries for the next two weeks, according to a well-placed source. He has also vowed to do the same for writers on The Colbert Report.”

After a ho-hum interview by his wife Kathleen Matthews on Thursday night’s show, some D.C. media insiders were wondering privately if the Chris Matthews 10th anniversary Hardball bash would live up to all the hype (Patrick Gavin, after all, has been peeing his pants over this one).

Well, we were there, and can answer definitively: yes AND no. Some big politico “names” did not show, which was disappointing for Chris, but lots of people, including Sen. Ted Kennedy, told him they simply adore his new book Life’s a Campaign, copies of which were readily available for purchase at the decked-out Decatur House (which was kinda crass, if you ask us).

Remember when Jon Stewart took Tucker Carlson down a notch a couple of years ago on CNN’s Crossfire? Well, he did it again last night, this time to a very grumpy Hardball host Chris Matthews, calling his new tome a “self-hurt book.” When Matthews tried to defend his writings, Stewart brilliantly shot him down.

“This is the worst interview I’ve ever had in my life!” Matthews ended up shouting; still, he later asked the Daily Show host to appear on his MSNBC program.

“I don’t troll,” Stewart responded with a smirk.
