Jumping into a live stream on Whatnot reveals an immediate sense of energy, joy and community. It's an interactive environment where audiences can watch a seller move through an entire product inventory in a single live show, faster than most traditional store funds sell in a month.

As the largest dedicated live shopping marketplace in the country, Whatnot features thousands of sellers building thriving businesses across categories ranging from fashion and beauty to electronics and sports cards. Whether it's an established brand or business yet to exist, anyone can sell here.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:35)
You're listening to Comedy Central.

**Bernie Goldberg** (2:53)
Let me speak directly to Jon Stewart for just a few seconds. And I know he watches. He's a big fan of the show.

**Jon Stewart** (3:08)
Guilty as charged.

**Jon Stewart** (3:11)
I watch it every night with all my friends. Continue Mr. Goldberg.

**Bernie Goldberg** (3:22)
When you had Frank Rich on your show, who generalizes all the time about conservatives and republicans being bigots, you didn't ask him a single tough question. You gave him a lap dance. You practically had your tongue down his throat.

**Jon Stewart** (3:43)
Guilty as charged.

**Jon Stewart** (3:46)
Was that televised? I don't want to say anything, but Frank Rich hasn't been on the show since 2006
I mean, since I gave Frank Rich that lap dance, I don't know if you noticed, but I went back in the champagne room with Bill Kristol, like, five times. And if you watch this show, as it appears you have, you must remember me and McCain... like bunnies.
But I guess that's besides the point.
Here's the point. You can't criticize me for not being fair and balanced. That's your slogan. Which, by the way, you never follow. Which brings us back to the essence of the whole go-sh** yourselves piece.

**Bernie Goldberg** (4:27)
You're just a safe Jay Leno with a much smaller audience, but you get to say the F-bomb, which gives your incredibly unsophisticated audience the illusion... You're generalizing. The illusion that you're courageous and that you're a renegade, but it's only an illusion.

**Jon Stewart** (4:44)
Wait, wait! I'm not a courageous renegade? But I've always considered myself the Lorenzo Lamas of late night.
I thought my audience was elitist. Are they elitist or unsophisticated? Or unsophisticated in their elitism? Look, I'm sorry I told you to go f**k yourself last week, and that other time, like six months ago, I told you to go f**k yourself. I know that I criticize you in Fox News a lot, but only because you're truly a terrible, cynical, disingenuous news organization.

**SPEAKER_10** (5:15)
Oh, wait, no, you know what?

**Jon Stewart** (5:16)
That's...

**SPEAKER_9** (5:16)
no. That's the wrong approach.

**SPEAKER_10** (5:19)
That's the wrong approach.

**Jon Stewart** (5:21)
That's not... I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna be confrontational. I want to take a minute to talk directly to Bernie Goldberg.

**SPEAKER_11** (5:46)
I mean, you're not Dick Morris.

**SPEAKER_7** (5:47)
Yeah, what is wrong with that guy?
