The Year That Was 2009 (in Daily Show Interviews)
Can you remember all the way back in the last decade when there was that one year that was called 2009 (or something like that)? That was a kinda crazy year, huh?
Well, if you're in the mood to get all retro and hipster faux-nostalgic, here's a bunch of interviews from that year — one for each month — back when the show wasn't even broadcast in high def. (Lo res interviews? That's like the Schlitz of talking stuff. Whatevs.)

Joe the Plumber Eats It in DC Stand-Up Contest
From The CC Insider…
Wednesday night, the Funniest Celebrity in Washington contest went underway, and all of Washington's most famous celebrities people who are sometimes on C-SPAN competed to prove they are the funniest least boring person in Washington. The big winner of the night was Austan Goolsbee, an economist for the Obama administration. There's video of him yucking it up over here, but first Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber of New Lows (don't quit my day job, me), also performed stand-up! And there's video!
I'm not saying Joe's material is awful. I am just saying, as a plumber, shouldn't he be cleaning up shit rather than performing it?

Jon Stewart Interviews Austan Goolsbee: Extended and Uncensored
When I heard Austan Goolsbee was going to be on The Daily Show last night, I was like groovy, baby! But it turns out I was confused. Austan Goolsbee isn't a British spy, he's an economic adviser to President Obama. Still, would it have killed him to throw a couple "do I make you hornys" in?
As with all discussions of fiscal policy, this extended interview contains some NSFW language.
The interview continues after the jump.
The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.
