Was Jon Stewart’s MPA gig just a warm-up for the Oscars?

Beautiful people, brace yourselves. It seems that Daily Show host Jon Stewart will be hosting this year’s Oscars, and if the Magazine Publishers of America debacle at Advertising Week is any indication, the results won’t be as pretty as the folks in the audience, excluding Jack Nicholson. (You remember, Jon told a roomful of advertisers that magazines sit at the “kid’s table” of public discourse.) I for one am psyched, particularly following Stewart’s irreverent take on broadcast self-censorship during the 2005 Emmy Awards.
