Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart are...

Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby.

Much like the relationship between Colbert and Stewart, rarely does a conversation about Sidney Crosby not include some mention of Alex Ovechkin, and history will undoubtedly judge these 2 in comparison with one another. While some have taken solid stances in favor of one or the other, most agree that the real point is that they are equally exceptional. Recently, they've begun a string of dominance during awards season, in terms of both nominations and victories, and its safe to say they will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Also like Stewart and Colbert, Crosby and Ovechkin find themselves performing on networks that don't provide nearly enough exposure for their vast talents, and all four have become household names despite relatively low ratings. Crosby is the most like Stewart, a cerebral talent who makes everyone around him better despite lack of ideal size, and critics of both claim they are too soft. Ovechkin, like Colbert, is a brash and in-your face persona whom critics say place too much focus on themselves.
