The Daily Show LIVE on Inauguration Day
You won't need to wait until Barack Obama's historic inauguration as the 44th President of the United States is old news on Wednesday night to get Jon Stewart and the Daily Show correspondents' perspective on the Inauguration Day events.
The Daily Show is all set to report LIVE on Inauguration Day night (is that an oxymoron?) Tuesday, January 20th at 11 pm.
As such, you won't be faced with a deafening silence on George Bush's forward retreat from office. Nor will you miss out on any of the huge bits of Obama inaudacious audacities of hopeful reality.
Jumbo shrimp.

From which time zone is the 11pm live broadcast? ET?
jim, as a Connecticut Yankee trapped in the redneck hell that is North Carolina, where a dusting of snow shut down traffic, businesses and schools today, I'd have to say you are correct in your assessment that hell has indeed frozen over! lol…and I've been celebrating all day!
Dear Connecticut Yankee Jeanette,
We "rednecks" in the great State of North Carolina hope you find your way back home. We have so many "Yankees" that have moved here for the quality of life and won't leave. Having snow shut down schools, businesses, etc. is a Southern tradition and allowed many of us to stay home and watch the Inauguration. It was a blessing.
We love you Jon.
Reverend Lowery's "when white will accept what's right", and the phrases he said before them, were references to the slogans of 60' s and 70's organizing. He said them again today to signal to the boomers that we've all come a long way (because they remember when the political climate was different and they were organizing for change), and also as a way of suggesting that it is more than time to hand over the reins of leadership to the young organizers who made this day possible. It was a nostalgic moment for those who'd marched alongside Rev. Lowery and they knew what the statement signified for and to them.
It wasn't meant to be a literal reference, I don't think.
Did anyone else notice the resemblance of Dick Cheney in the wheelchair to Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life"?! I thought, "Oh, no, he's going to close the Savings and Loan…"
I thought he looked more like Lord Sith…
Dick Cheney = Mr. Potter from IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE? Definitely saw the resemblance. I was waiting for him to call Obama a "warped frustrated young man," in good Cheney-projects-his-dark-side fashion.
I'm at DFW airport waiting to see if ferderal marshals handcuff and haul GW away. Nothing so far.
To Tanya K:
"Sweep it under the rug"?
You mean like the media swept the war crimes of Bush and Cheney under "the rug" for eight years?
Like that you mean?
What's this about Mr. Potter. Cheney was clearly Dr. Strangelove. I was expecting a struggle with his right arm any moment.
