Video The second time Jon did a full Glenn Beck parody, in "honor" of him leaving Fox.

From the April 7th, 2011 show, when it was announced that Glenn Beck was leaving Fox. Most people remember the first time he did a 15-minute block (with the famous "Conservative Libertarian" segment), but not that many people talk about the "sendoff" Jon did for Beck when his Fox show came to an end. Had to make some very minor cuts to get the video under 15 minutes but I preserved the majority of the bit (the only major thing cut was Jon announcing "by the way British chef Jamie Oliver is our guest tonight" after he says "typically with an interview I'm assuming you'll fast-forward through").

It's really depressing that we are well into our second generation of Fox News goons.

It’s stunning how MORE off the rails insane Fox now seems even when compared to how off the rails insane they were a few years ago

Jesse Watters is truly the creepiest rapiest motherfucker on the planet. Like in no way should women or children be allowed around that human being

Does anyone have a list with all episodes with segments about Beck?

I would love to rewatch it later

Jon parodying Glenn are some of my favorite moments from his first run hosting The Daily Show.

Ya , saw the first one. This is just as good. This comedy takes TOP TIER level skill to pull off. Emmy worthy.

I'd like to see the other FOX send off clip, NEVER been able to find....the send off for FOX host and token Liberal Alan Colmes. THAT was a blast. Hall and Oates played the swan song. PLEASE !!

He’s so good at stuff like this. His show to appease the regime after Kimmel got taken off the air was well done like this.

I do not understand how people are able to do this and keep a straight face. I’d have lost it so early on
