Jon Stewart's emotional Daily Show monologue is available as streaming video and as a transcript.

Given the sassy, sarcastic nature of The Daily Show, it was difficult to imagine an appropriate getting-serious-for-a-moment segue back into new programming after the September 11 attack. I could not have prepared myself for, let alone expected, the emotional honesty with which Jon delivered this monologue. The admission that the obligatory "overwrought speech of a shaken host" is more for the benefit of the host than the audience grounded the monologue in a way the monologues of other media personalities haven't quite managed. Through his personal honesty, Jon discarded the artifice of the TV celeb trying to find something appropriate to say, and I can't think of a more appropriate way for a media personality to respond to this tragedy.
