10、图尔特？他是目前电视上最流行的喜剧演员之一。他对于政治和政府的悲观看法引发了嘲笑，思考甚至愤怒。他有聪明机智，经常会出现和一些政府政策的碰撞。他的整个表演致力于取笑出现在政治上的愚蠢的行为。但是，让他的节目如此成功是他拥有以他的才智来讲笑话的能力。“这不仅仅是喜剧，”一位媒体专家说。他的言论对美国大量的观众产生了很大的影响力。他有很多政治力量。最近斯图尔特是一个在政治方面的新闻节目嘉宾。在主机记者询问斯图尔特对美国公众的责任的时候弓发了一场激烈的辩论,。斯图尔特争辩说,虽然他节目的脚本内容在本质上可能是具有政治色彩的，但他的主要义务是娱乐。然 而，主机记者强调出他表现的政治影响。争论最终以两党
