Jim Cramer was back on The Today Show for the first time since last week's extended interview on The Daily Show—where, by most accounts, he served as doormat for Jon Stewart's extended chastising of his and the rest of CNBC's behavior throughout the economic meltdown. And like a kid who sticks his tongue out once his parents have left the room following a spanking, Cramer took the opportunity this morning to finally stand up against Stewart's attacks.

After days of building (1, 2, 3), last night was the much-anticipated meeting between The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and CNBC's Jim Cramer. Cramer was well-behaved and contrite—granted, he was on Stewart's home turf—but Stewart did an excellent job of questioning Cramer's and CNBC's role as "financial experts" and wondering why CNBC can't do more investigative reporting, instead of cheerleading.

After Jon Stewart skewered CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday night's Daily Show, Cramer had to defend himself—and levy some barbs at Stewart—on the Today Show as well as MSNBC's Morning Joe yesterday. Naturally, that gave Stewart and the Daily Show writing and video research staff yet another opportunity to go after Cramer as well as various NBC sister networks last night:

Forget Fox Business as CNBC's bête noire—CNBC is now up against an offensive from The Daily Show. Last night, Jon Stewart addressed the interest in last week's Daily Show takedown of CNBC and CNBC personality Rick Santelli. It was suspected that Stewart's rant (and accompanying video) was because Santelli had bailed on appearing on the show, but Stewart explained it was planned for Santelli to cause him "le discomfort." And Stewart got to have some fun with that other shouty CNBC guy, Jim Cramer.
