Stewart responds to critics with rally proposalAfter facing criticism for his recent Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in Washington, D.C., Jon Stewart has come up with the perfect solution to keep everyone happy: Another rally. On last night's episode of "The Daily Show," Stewart aired the grievances of left-leaning critics, including "Real Time" host Bill Maher, who claimed the rally was about nothing, and Keith Olbermann, who said Stewart created a "false equivalence" between the services of MSNBC and Fox News. Stewart then joked that he will hold another event on November 13 to make it right, calling the occasion "the Rally to Determine Precisely the Percentage of Blame to Be Doled Out to the Left and the Right for Our Problems Because We All Know That the Only Thing That Matters Is That the Other Guys Are Worse Than We Are and/or Fear." On a more serious note, Stewart, whose October 30 rally drew crowds of over 250,000, added, "Contrary to what some people may believe, I do think the rally was about something, just not necessarily what they wanted it to be about or what they think it’s about."

According to Deadline.com, the network has ordered a pilot for "Man Up," a half-hour family show in which 57-year-old Allen would play "a guy fighting for his manhood in a world of women." Following the eight-season run of the hugely popular "Home Improvement," the funnyman went on to star in films such as "The Shaggy Dog," "Wild Hogs" and the blockbuster "Toy Story 3." However, Deadline.com reports that the Golden Globe winner has been eyeing a return to television for quite some time and has taken meetings with writers in recent months.
