Subsequent media coverage of exchanges between Cramer (who had been featured heavily in the original segment) and Stewart led to a highly anticipated face-to-face confrontation on Stewart's show. The episode received a large amount of media hype, and it became the second most-viewed episode of "The Daily Show", trailing only the 2009 Inauguration Day episode. It had 2.3 million total viewers, and the next day "The Daily Show" website saw its highest day of traffic year-to-date.
