Good question. I was just trying to think about possible fallout from the interview...

Are you kidding? The show's ratings in the target demo might be down a few percent, but Cramer's segment is still the highest rated one on CNBC, and it's relatively dirt cheap to produce. Add to that the fact that in show business there's no such thing as bad publicity, and it's easy to see why Cramer will likely be around for a good long time.

This was on CNN ALL day today. I'm dying to see if Stewart tackles that on Monday.

The Stewart interview dealt a huge blow to Cramer's, and CNBC's, credibility. For a show that's not supposed to be 100% entertainment, but largely informative, or even prophetic, I certainly don't see the interview helping Cramer in any way.
