Comedian-turned-political commentator Jon Stewart can't figure out what's up with social media.
In a conversation with Tom Brokaw for his 50th anniversary on NBC News, the former Daily Showhost talked to the longtime news anchor about the use of social media in today's hyper-connected world.

While on the other hand he says it "connects people in a way that's remarkable."
Brokaw brings the conversation back to television, which as a teenager he found revolutionary.
Watch the clip above for both their thoughts. The full interview airs Sunday, along with conversations with other guests such as Oprah Winfrey, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sheryl Sandberg, Bill Gates, Tom Hanks and other big names.
