Seth MacFarlane's problem with Jon Stewart

Seth sounds extremely civil here while Piers comes off like a desperate teenage girl wanting to go after someone. 

"Let's take him on together! I'm not scared!" Taking on Jon Stewart with Piers Morgan is like taking on Usain Bolt with a broken leg.

So apparently nobody here knows the story behind it, so I'm just gonna put it out there: The thing with the writer's strike was that, unlike other shows Jon was technically in charge of the show, but when it came to the payment they had to work something out with Comedy Central. So he had no Influence on whatsoever; he did run the show after all because of the other employees (camera-men, production assistants and so on). It was a writer's strike, not an everyone-who's-on-the-show strike, but without a show no payment for the other employees. I think Seth's heart was with all the writers over the country, while Jon thought of all the employees on the show. So technically, I think they both have a reasonable point and there is no simple way to solve such a problem. So what happened was, Jon called Seth, explained his point to him, they had a debate, they came to a conclusion, all fine. And then comes Piers and makes a problem out of it... like, seriously dude. They are smart, grown-up men, they can handle it. Btw, Seth's teeth are so white they are blinding me XD

Piers Morgan was just awful. One of the most ignorant/arrogant people in media.

Piers just can't understand that people as intelligent as Jon and Seth can work out their own disagreements on their own without making it a national boxing match, and they did. Funny how it's the comedians that end up being the more mature and respecful than the the serious media personalities.

It would be nice if Piers would shut up and let his guests talk.

I don't think Morgan's parents taught him that speaking over people is rude. Piers, it's rude to talk over people

Jesus Christ, let the man speak. This guy likes the sound of his own voice too much.

Respect to Seth MacFarlane for maintaining his composure and dignity.  It's clear that he really respects Jon Stewart and that, despite disagreeing with Jon, he acknowledges how what he did could be seen as being in the wrong.  Great respect for both him and Stewart. Piers Morgan on the other hand, fuck him.  He was so horrible at his job.  Even in this interview, he's just trying to rile Seth up unnecessarily, and create a feud where there doesn't need to be one.  

I'm no fan of Seth MacFarlane as a person, but he was trying to explain a respectful disagreement, and Piers couldn't grasp that. No wonder they kicked him out of Britain.

Morgan: "if you cant take it dont dish it out" Also Morgan: "you guys are being mean, im walking out of a live show"

I don’t like family guy but Seth is a really personable, smart guy.

In the first minute of this, Seth asks at least 3 times how Piers found out about this; almost everyone back here in the UK will know exactly how Piers found out.

I'm not a fan of Seth, but he handled himself extremely well in this interview. He is very gracious and humble here. Very measured.

goddamn piers morgan is that dude in the background that just screams fight even though he's the weakest looking dude in the group

"How did you find out about this phone call?" Well Seth he probably hacked your phone, that's kinda his thing

Piers just comes across as a sneaky little weasel trying to get Seth and Jon to feud with one another.

Its no wonder Morgan got fired. Hes just obnoxious.

I appreciate how aware he is of situational dis Abel to say he still likes/respects someone who screamed at him and accept it was partially his fault without caving on his POV. A master class of grace from the least likely suspect

gotta admire MacFarlanes diplomacy. because Jon Stewart is a juggernaut and he really is a voice of rationalism and empathy, but I was surprised that he didn't stand in solidarity however I have to admit I'm not totally familiar with the strike and I know Jon Stewart in the past has been on the side of the Working Man so he might have had his reasons
