Mick Foley Illustrates the Problem with Congress

Matt Tobey — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:22:21 +0000

On last night's Daily Show, to explain Congress's endless cycle of hypocrisy, Wyatt Cenac brought out Mick Foley, who demonstrated that Washington politicians are really no different from pro wrestlers. Now, that might be true to a degree, but I don't know if it's an entirely fair comparison. After all, who would you rather have babysit your kids, Triple H or Joe Lieberman? Also, wrestlers know how to use makeup in moderation.

Mick Foley's last appearance on the show can be found below.

The Daily Show on the Smart D**kholes at Bank of America

Matt Tobey — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:21:39 +0000

Sure the banks are guilty of some pretty egregious practices at the expense of the most financially vulnerable among us, but let's not be so quick to forget some of the good things credit card companies do. You know, like providing free t-shirts to college freshman and giving Congress someone to hungrily blow other than the defense, insurance, pharmaceutical and agriculture industries.

The Daily Show on the Tea Party Convention

Matt Tobey — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:26:34 +0000

This past weekend of course saw The Super Bowl as well as the big Tea Party convention in Tennessee. But as Jon Stewart pointed out on last night's Daily Show, it was also Ronald Reagan's birthday. The only way it could have been a more patriotastic weekend is if a bald eagle had waterboarded some foreigners with a 200-year-old jar of Betsy Ross's urine. Maybe next year.

Stephen Colbert's take on the Tea Party convention can be found below.

Chris Matthews Is One Scotch Away from Being Ron Burgundy

Matt Tobey — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:33:23 +0000

Last night's Daily Show was devoted entirely to the State of the Union, including the GOP response and the media coverage. And if you saw the SOTU, you know it was a much-needed reminder in these difficult times, that despite our many differences, we Americans have in us the ability to unite behind the common goal of laughing at the boobs in Washington and the boners on cable news. Just as the founders intended.

The Daily Show's coverage of the SOTU continues below. And you can see The Colbert Report's take here.

The Daily Show's Best Ben Bernanke Moments

Matt Tobey — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:25:46 +0000

As you know, the rumors have been all over the place. First it looked like he was out, and now they say he's still in. Of course the biggest question in either case is, how will the markets react? Well, that and will he go back to Jen? I guess all we can do is sit back and wait for Angelina to make a decision. And while we do that, why not enjoy these Daily Show videos about Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke?

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.

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…

The Daily Show Takes on Gun-Toting Obama Protesters

Matt Tobey — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:05:53 +0000

Now that it's clear the armed protesters outside President Obama's health care town hall meetings are trying to outdo each other, it's kind of fun trying to guess how the ante will be upped next. Will someone bring a bazooka? Maybe they'll roll up in a tank. Personally, I'm crossing my fingers for one of those slingshots that's big enough to shoot the Earth into the Sun.

Jon Stewart and Wyatt Cenac Simulate the White House Beer Summit

Dennis DiClaudio — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:19:43 +0000

So, yesterday, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and police officer James Crowley sat down to hash out their differences at the White House. With hilarious results!

Since there is no way known to science to be able to know exactly what happens when a white man and a black man sit down to share a beer, this simulation from The Daily Show may be our closest window into this historically unteachable teachable moment…

Which Foreign Daily Show Correspondent Has the Worst Health Care?

Samantha Bee (citizen of Canadianstan) and John Oliver (citizen of Good Britain) fight over which of their home nation's podunk socialized health care systems is the best at being the worst…

I suppose that if you had to have your testicles surgically moved around onto your back, it would be nice to not have the bills to pay afterward.

Colbert Declares Himself Governor of South Carolina

What did you have in your office's Where the Fuck Is Mark Sanford pool? I had "Getting a back-alley sex-change in Des Moines." Really thought I had a shot too. Better luck next time, I guess. Anyway, congrats to everyone who had money on "Pulling a classic Appalachia/Argentina Whoopsy-Daisy," though don't be surprised if you have to split your winnings with those who had "Transporting endangered species in his rectum" before this all shakes out.

After the jump, The Daily Show's coverage of the Sanford story.

Jon Stewart on Obama at Notre Dame

Matt Tobey — Tue, 19 May 2009 13:45:22 +0000

You know Jon Stewart is a pro because he gets through this entire segment about Notre Dame without stooping to lame hunchback jokes. Which is great, because it's a fine school, and they deserve better. For example, did you know their engineering department is working on state-of-the-art zero-emission car engines? Actually, they're like engines, but not exactly. I guess you could call them quasi-motors.

After the jump, Wyatt Cenac argues that Barack Obama is Cliff Huxtable.

Fox News Thinks Obama and Chavez Touched Wieners

Matt Tobey — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:52:26 +0000

After President Obama's controversial handshake with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez this week, the gang at Fox News whipped themselves into a sexually-dysfunctional froth fantasizing about whether the two world leaders were putting the "head" in "heads of state" back at the hotel.

Tempted as you may be, I cannot stress enough how unwise it is to take this as an opportunity to imagine what happens behind closed doors at Fox News. Trust me when I say that is a bottomless Cremaster-esque pit of horror you can never climb out of.

Wyatt Cenac to Jon Stewart: Obama is Europe's Taylor Hicks

Eric March — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:27:01 +0000

Hey, Europe! Maybe George W. Bush was your Katharine McPhee — blonde, not too bright and bad at giving back rubs. But Barack Obama is your goddamn American Idol, okay? Just buy his album already!
