On “The Colbert Report,” Stephen Colbert said, “Apple co-founder Steve Jobs passed away [Wednesday]. He was a visionary who changed the way we use computers [shows Mac onscreen], listen to music [iPod], communicate [iPhone], and stay awake in meetings [iPad].”
“But the thing I will miss [the most],” Colbert said, “is that no on else could make me beg quite like him.”
Colbert then played a montage of him begging for an iPhone and then, later, an iPad and reported, “It’s a testament to Steve Jobs’ generosity and my celebrity that everything I asked for, I got!”
On “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart was much more subdued, saying, “I always thought, for him to die young, it seems so strange because other people of his magnitude, like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, you sort of feel like we wrung everything out of them – they were old when they died – but with Steve Jobs you really got the sense, ‘Ahhh, we’re not done with you, yet!'”
