Inspire Pharmaceuticals is an attractive stock, partly because it may be a takeover target, celebrity investor Jim Cramer said during his "Mad Money" TV show on Friday.

Inspire's larger partner Allergan has said it's interested in expanding and could consider buying promising products and companies. It would be easy for Allergan, with a $20 billion market cap, to absorb the much smaller Inspire, with a market cap of $560 million, Cramer noted.

Buying the Durham company would give Allergan new revenue from Inspire's treatments for eye diseases. It's also working on an experimental medicine for cystic fibrosis with the hopes of expanding into the market for pulmonary diseases.

Inspire "gives you two ways to win," Cramer said. Allergan already pays royalties to Inspire for the dry-eye drug Restasis, "so a merger here just makes sense."

While Cramer's rapid-fire rants and speculation don't cause big stock jumps as much as they once did, he remains popular with some investors who follow his recommendations.

The much-anticipated Stewart-Cramer showdown on The Daily Show last night certainly lived up to the hype. Stewart was armed and angry. Cramer was nervous as a cat, and made minimal effort to defend himself or his network (CNBC).

The Mad Money host barely argued anything Stewart threw at him, readily agreeing with most things he said. You had the feeling by the end of the show, if Stewart had suggested Cramer was responsible for 9/11, Cramer would have politely apologized. Still, it was exciting to watch someone call these guys out on their negligence.

Here's the recap.

They've been talking serious smack all over TV this week, but tonight they man-up and meet face to face.

Jim Cramer will appear on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight, and the two could either fight to the death or work out their differences. I hope for their sakes there's a third option. Cramer told Martha Stewart (no relation to Jon) on her show today that he's "nervous" about the meeting. "You should be nervous," Martha assured him. But according to Stephen Colbert, he shouldn't worry. Colbert bet Stewart $5 that Cramer would "mop the floor" with him tonight.

The Daily Show airs at 11pm on Comedy Central, then again at 1:30am and Friday at 10am and 8pm.
