    Twitter is not news, the show should have probably never been made if not to provoke jokes exactly like this.

    Michael McDonald is ****ing awful. Terribly generically pitifully awful. He has that "soulful" voice that any white guy with 2 even semi-functional testicles can emulate with no effort whatsoever. Try it.

    He's the Michael Bolton of smooth 70's yacht rock.

    No nerve, just flabbergasted that someone would actually think Stewart is a racist. The only way you could possibly believe that is to have trusted the opinion of some lying pundit.

    White-ish is about as racist as Blackish. Not sure why someone would be offended by one and not the other -- but maybe the people who are complaining are also offended by Blackish, idk.

    Have you ever watched the Daily Show? Stewart uses racism as tool when attacking mostly white conservative politicians. As for the rest of the show, there is a correspondent who does a recurring "black" sketch and there are other examples.

    I'm starting to think people get outraged on Twitter so that the media will show their tweets. How r****ded do you have to be to get offended by something so stupid?

    What seems obvious is that you've never watched The Daily Show. His attacks on white conservatives aren't about the race of the people at whom he's poking fun, they are about the stupidity of those people.

    Please, stop listening to what the pundits say, they're lying to you.

    Not racist or funny.

    Two things I've learned here:

    1) People take twitter too seriously
    2) Brad should stick to his day job

    As a minority , I have realized that Black America and extreme Muslims are pretty much on par with each other:

    1. You are not allowed to say anything about them on any level.
    2. They say whatever they want and if anyone disagrees with them, they are labeled ignorant and a hater of sorts.

    I blame white people for fostering this thinking by not standing up for themselves.

    1. People can and do say anything they want about extreme Muslims.

    2. White Americans aren't really under any kind of serious threat that they have to stand up against.

    The key to this is the timing of the statement: before darius rucker is set to hit the stage. Right?

    It was a harmless joke. People are too busy getting offended on behalf of other people. If Paisley was being a jerk about it sure but he was kidding around. I usually don't moan about the PC police but I think this is a little much. I don't see what the problem with calling a freaking country award show "white-ish"

    I am sure Darius Rucker's reaction was something like this:
