The hissing match between Jim Cramer and Jon Stewart comes to a head tonight when CNBC's Cramer is scheduled to be Stewart's guest on "The Daily Show" (10 p.m., Comedy Central).
We say "scheduled" because it was CNBC's Rick Santelli canceling his appearance last week that prompted Stewart to blast the financial news network -- "If I'd only followed CNBC's advice I'd have a million dollars today ... provided I'd started with a hundred million dollars" -- in a clip that went viral on the Internet.
In the days that followed, Cramer sneered at Stewart as a "comedian;" Stewart jabbed at Cramer as a "buffoon." And so on.
Will they play nice -- or will it be a repeat of Stewart's 2004 takedown of CNN's "Crossfire"? Get your TiVos ready.
