The Daily Show on the US's Afghan War Strategy

Matt Tobey — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:13:36 +0000

In just a few short months, the US war in Afghanistan will becomes the longest running war in American history. Some say it jumped the shark years ago, but I personally think it's still better than most other wars these days, even if it's not up to the same quality it was six or seven years ago. All I'm saying is, this McChrystal character seems like he could breath new life into it, and I still look forward to the Treehouse of Horror episode every year.

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.

The Daily Show Correspondents on Riding Animals to Work

Dennis DiClaudio — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:17:13 +0000

Now, one might think that asking people what animal they'd like to ride work would be a silly thing to do, but, as I think you'll discover from watching this video it's anything but. It seems goofy and idiotic in theory, but in practice it just works…

The Daily Show Correspondents on Workplace Romance

Matt Tobey — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:38:44 +0000

From The CC Insider…

I work by myself at home, so you'd probably assume there wouldn't be much in the way of workplace romances going on around here. And you'd be right, though my coffee cup told me yesterday that he heard my microwave hooked up with my ottoman, but you didn't hear that from me. Meanwhile, it sounds like there's plenty of action going on around the Daily Show offices.

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.

I could go into a whole thing about what this exclusive clip is really all about, but, c'mon, would you even believe me?

Exclusive: The Daily Show Correspondents and Their Childhood Dreams

Dennis DiClaudio — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:12:45 +0000

Earlier today, President Obama implored our nation's children to work hard in school so that they might one day be able to realize their dreams. That's kinda nice, huh?

Too bad he wasn't around to help inspire the Daily Show correspondents. Maybe they would have been able to do something with their lives and maybe get on television or something…

Matt Tobey — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:30:58 +0000

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart reported on the rash of ass-kissing emails sent to South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford by media outlets. Who knew Walter Cronkite would be rolling in his grave so soon after entering it?

Last night's Daily Show featured Jason Jones interviewing three Iranian reformers who have all since been imprisoned by the Iranian government. That's right, if you let Jason Jones interview you, Iran will arrest you. Rod Blagojevich must be freaking out.

After the jump, Jon Stewart sits down with political prisoner Ebrahim Yazdi's son.

I-ra-ndecision 2009: The Daily Show Chooses to Treat News from Iran as Though It Were Actual News

Dennis DiClaudio — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:41:22 +0000

Earlier this morning, Andrew Sullivan shared this comment from a reader…

"Over the weekend, attempting to get the latest news on the Iran elections aftermath, I tuned into 'The Situation Room' on CNN. Wolf Blitzer began the program with the latest on the David Letterman/Sarah Palin uproar.

"Meanwhile, last night the Daily Show led off with the story of the Iran elections. They've even had a correspondent actually in Iran the last couple weeks."

To be fair, I suspect that CNN was told that they were supposed to treat this like it was something that actually mattered…
