    Daily show pre-9/11

    shows clip of bush at a national park, with just-appointed gail norton, giving a stumblin'-stutterin' (speech), and bush says, "...the cold war is over..."

    Back to jon, and he goes, "And then the president jumped in his time machine and went back to no f* kin shit day and suprised everybody."

    I laughed so hard.

    I think the Daily Show is just flat out amazing. Great work all the time, and in all actuality, I would love to have some of Jon's babies.

    Have questions? You should.

    Thanks for starting this thread eddie's grrl, I can't get enough of The Daily Show or the Colbert Report. I actually get a little bummed out on Friday when I realize I have to wait three days for a new episode! Lewis Black's HBO special Black on Broadway is one of the funniest standups ever and I love his bits on the Daily Show. I really like that new kid on there now too, the one that does Trendspotting, I think his name is Demetri. Good stuff!

    And whoever that was offering to have Jon's babies better get in line!!!!!

    I dont Jon but i know that Colbert is giving his away.

    From the ColbertNation.com

    On sales of his sperm: "The demand for Stephen Colbert's Formula 401 has been overwhelming, and I have to admit I am pooped. I had to make an unscheduled trip to Chinatown, and considering the amount of money I spent on rhino horn and tiger bone, I'm just about breaking even here. So? sorry, ladies, but I'm cutting you off. I've decided to make Stephen Colbert's Formula 401 a seasonal product. Like Mallomars." See you next midwinter, ladies!

    Okay so I watched this really interesting 9/11 conspiracy documentary today, which frankly bummed me out way too early in the morning. It contained lots of news footage, most of it from Fox News (which I never watch) but some from CNN (which I used to watch, but do not anymore.) Long story short ... I realized that in the time since 2001, I now get all of my news from NPR, BBC and the Daily Show. Personally, I think that makes me a fairly healthy individual. I don't want to jump off the roof quite so much any more. So, thanks, Jon. :)

    yep, me, too, pretty much exactly what you said. i also listen to air america, but not as much as when morning sedition was still on.

    plus i read a few good mags, like utne and the nation. but the daily show actually gives me hope for the future. i mean, if we can still laugh, there's still hope! :)

    One of my all-time favorites:

    "If Bill O'Reilly needs to have an enemy, needs to feel persecuted, you know what? Here's my Kwanzaa gift to him. Are you ready? All right. I'm your enemy. Make me your enemy. I, Jon Stewart, hate Christmas, Christians, Jews, morality, and I will not rest until every year families gather to spend December 25th together at Osama's homo-abortion-pot-and-commie-jizzporium."

    Jon on the Israeli elections:

    "Perhaps the biggest surprise of the election was it was the lowest election voter turnout ever -- a dismal... 63.2%. That's the lowest turnout they've ever had. You know what, we shouldn't be bringing democracy to the Middle East -- they should be bringing it to us."

    RACE: THE AFROSPANICINDIOASIANIZATION OF AMERICA

    On Wednesday, The Daily Show will air a half-hour special, "Race: The Afrospanicindioasianization of America." Correspondents Rob Corddry, John Hodgman and Demetri Martin will join host Jon Stewart in examining -- and completely solving -- such contemporary racial problems like bigotry and illegal immigration. It's one episode you'll want to watch in a melting pot.

    "At issue is the video game industry's rating system. Many feel that the M for Mature is too vague... not to mention that it's completely inaccurate in describing anyone who plays video games. They propose a 3-tiered system that would start with D for Dropout, then W for Wastoid and max out at CMB-Child in a Man's Body."

    I loved his comments last night about the minimum wage vote. Our government depresses me sometimes. Or many times.

    Anyway, at least I have the Daily Show to make me laugh. I'll see you on my birthday, Jon! Can't wait. :)

    The story on the Congressional staffer softball league was hilarious and sad.

    to make them seem innocuous...

    Rob Cordry, reporting from North Korea: Did you know that Kim's working on a neutron explosive that burns you from the inside out, leaving you a charred husk of flesh?

    Jon: That's horrible.

    Rob: It's called Long Phat Dik. Worst of all, Jon, when it blows up, it spreads a deadly chemical, Cream of Sum Yung Boy-

    Jon: I'm sorry, Rob, but that's clearly not a real weapon-

    Rob: I'm sorry, Jon, but are you here? Have you seen the factories where they erect the Long Phat Dik? NO, you haven't.
