Talk show host Glenn Beck used part of his farewell program Thursday to take a couple of digs at his TV nemesis Jon Stewart.

Beck’s potshots were primarily a numbers game: He compared his own monologue (21 minutes) to Stewart’s Daily Show one (6 minutes); he touted his total air time (42 minutes) against Stewart’s (22 minutes, including guests); and finally, he introduced his writing staff to prove he believes in what he says, because otherwise, how would he be able to talk for so long on the air with so little help?
