In a feud that is grabbing loads of free publicity for both Comedy Central and CNBC, CNBC's stock picker Jim Cramer has agreed to step into the ring with Comedy Central's Jon Stewart tonight on "The
Daily Show with Jon Stewart." He will be meeting face-to-face with the man who has spent the last week pillorying him over his flawed stock picks.
The duel between the two media
personalities started last week after Stewart savaged "Mad Money" host Cramer along with the rest of the CNBC crew for their coverage of the financial crisis. Shortly after, Stewart issued a faux
apology before sticking the knife in deeper by airing clips of Cramer.
On Tuesday, Cramer was defending himself on NBC's "Today" show, saying all stocks are down. He tried to deflect
attention by saying critics should try pointing their fingers at the big boys of finance, like Warren Buffett. "I think the administration should attack Warren Buffett, instead of the little guys who
come on TV and say that the averages are down a lot," he said.
