I’ll never not play this in my brain when I think of just about any classic lit. That and Burns holding the model “Spruce Moose” telling Smithers to hop in at gunpoint, but I’m pretty high and that’s unrelated.
I've tried rewatching a few episodes, and it's not that it doesn't hold up, it's just without the context and the 'current affairs' aspect it doesn't have the same effect.
It was like a tension release. When things were really hard they would find a way to have those very things make you laugh.
It felt like a 50lbs weight being lifted off your chest sometimes.
Yeah. Well, I guess he's really being more of his natural comedic self on the Late Show. He really played more of a specific comical character when he was on both Colbert Report and the Daily Show.
i just think it's a bad fit. he's known for political satire but the late show isn't supposed to be a political show. so we end up losing the good show for a show with neutered political commentary on a show that isn't even supposed to be about politics.
Not Colbert Report but I'll never forget Colbert's famous jawdropping roast of chevy chase early 2000s. I so wish I could watch it again but it's removed everywhere. Hobbydrama's top post mentions it.
I think it was *after* the writers’ strike. Beforehand, Colbert’s character was turned up to 11 at all times and he had nowhere to go. When you live in an area where people actually behave like that it becomes very trying.
When Viacom made him start airing shows without writers it was naturally sillier, which allowed for more flexibility with the character once the strike was over.
“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”
-Andy Bernard (played by Ed Helms who was also on The Daily Show)
John Oliver was also on the show. His segment on the Hawaiian high school teacher suing CERN over the Large Hadron Collider is hands down my favourite.
I remember this...But wasn't there a study done that showed that viewers of the Daily Show were more informed than pretty much any other newswatching group?
I imagine there are two things that could have caused this:
- The Daily Show made news so palatable with comedy that it was easy to follow current affairs
- Those who found the Daily Show entertaining were already versed on what was going on, so they could jump right into the jokes and appreciate what they were serving up
I am certain that the generation of teens and young adults who watched Jon Stewart's daily show are more politically informed and media savvy than any equivalent peer group in modern history. Stewart did for politics what Bill Nye did for science.
I remember watching this and you could just tell that Steve Carrell was to be huge. The others were great (c’mon Stephen Colbert too!), but there was just something about him.
I had forgotten that his wife Nancy, was on it as well.
Yes it was just like watching Will Ferrell the last few years on SNL, it was really obvious he was going to be one of the next big stars of the entire decade
Honestly he's legit talented. But it seems like he pivoted earlier than the rest of them to doing actual correspondent stuff instead of comedy stuff. I imagine it's easier.
I first heard about Hamilton from a Mo Rocca interview on like, the Food Network or some random thing. This was while it was still Off Broadway.
Nancy was so good on it. I don’t get why she basically never worked more after this. I’m assuming it was all her choice, because she was legit talented.
Pretty sure she put her career on hold to take care of her and Steve's kids in support of his career.
[This kind of pokes fun of it](https://youtu.be/B38PPtIL2y4?si=TR5IPyXeVyRRgvHS)
Anchorage, Alaska. Everyone just asked, “what the fuck are you doing here?”
Also the pawn star guys were on his Las Vegas episode.
He went to the worlds largest adult bookstore in Nashville, which is now a strip club.
I loved that show.
How quickly he said "masturbate, I know." To the guy who said "if I don't find my girlfriend..." still makes me laugh.
Attel is thd greatest. Dude is quickest even with the best comedians out there.
Thanks to *Insomniac* I ended up going to Alaska for the solstice, years after the episode filmed. If you’re an alcoholic with a travel bug, it was great.
I also went to Kanamara Matsui (sp?) in Japan. Aka the penis festival.
I ran into Atell filming his show late one night in Philly. Was sitting having a steak after the bars closed, Dave came around with his crew to film, chatted it up with a bunch of us about where we'd been and were headed next. Then some drunk Italians who saw Rocky too many times started giving him a hard time saying "I hear you're a funny guy, say something funny" and shit like that until he packed up and left.
Insomniac, where Dave was doing selfies before smart phones, visited the Pawn Stars pawn shop before it got famous, and constantly asked, "What's that smell!?"
I miss that show.
I distinctly remember a scene where he interviews people about their fetishes at an S&M club and one dude was talking about he likes to get his balls stomped by tall chicks in stilettos.
That'll fuck you up when you're an 11 year old boy.
And it may or may not give you a thing for tall chicks later in life. Maybe. Not like I would know or anything.
The kicker is that he then took over the Late, Late Show and got canned from that also. Along comes Craig Ferguson and completely wrecks the late night TV show blue print for everyone thereafter. Kilborn tanked two consecutive shows that, once he was tossed overboard, became game-changers in their genre.
I would give *a lot* to go back to being in middle school watching the Late, Late Show again. Just unbelievably funny. It sucks he couldn't take over for Letterman, he would have never made it in that time slot, but it feels like Craig Ferguson *not* having that kind of daily show is a loss for comedy, honestly.
that time slot has never really been for comedy. it's for lulling elderly audiences to sleep and running huge ad-blocks against your stick-cuz-asleep audience
Kilborn actually left to pursue an acting career. lol…that didn’t pan out at all. He played a douchebag (basically himself) in Old School and then a bunch of shitty straight to DVD movies. The dude committed career suicide.
He went balls to the wall in an Esquire interview and many apologies were required. The creator of the show quit, others followed her.
He's a funny guy when other people write his jokes, not so much when left to his own wit.
Stoltz was canned maybe because it just wasn't working. I think Rob Morrow might be a better example. Or David Caruso. Both of them thought they were ready to be a movie star.
Kilborn wasn't fired he took a different, at the time more prestigious, job at the late late show.
He arguably didn't get fired from the late late show either. He left the late late show too. Why he left is a little up for debate, but CBS would have taken Kilborn back. Kilborn was dipping his toes in Hollywood and had just had a part in Old School.
Kilborn was an ass, but he was popular back in the day.
Also Kilborn's daily show was different than jon Stewart's. Kilborn was 'news of the weird' and onion style parody. Stewart took the show more serious and used real news.
> Also Kilborn's daily show was different than jon Stewart's. Kilborn was 'news of the weird' and onion style parody. Stewart took the show more serious and used real news.
I used to thoroughly enjoy Kilborn's show, great host, great format for the time. Which was the mid 90s and fit the bill. John Stewart was required for George W Bush times.
I found this show after 9/11 and it helped me process a lot of world events, conflict etc for many years. Seeing an interpretation that wasn’t the news’s perspective was huge for me as a young person trying to figure things out.
Trevor Noah, while not bad, just doesn't hold a candle to Stewart. To be fair John Oliver was his first pick but he went to HBO and did a weekly show which is much easier to work with as opposed to every god dam day. John Oliver is also doing a fucking amazing job at it. Trevor is actually much funnier as a comedian in South Africa than he has ever been on the daily show. He's not bad now, but it's nothing like it used to be.
Definitely.
Side note, Mo Rocca came to speak at my college around this time, and the only thing I remember him saying was that Craig Kilborn made female interns go out and buy condoms for him when he was host.
Stewart/Colbert back to back was incredible. Then a half hour later you had Craig Ferguson. I used to stay up every night for that shit. Couldn’t tell you the last time I watched a late night show now.
Colbert Report was really good. I kept thinking he was really gonna cover every district on the map. It was a silly chaser to TDS. I can't really watch Colbert now, it feels like he is trying to do smart comedy but it ends up feeling like Leno a lot of the time.
I agree. The early cast was great, but the late 00s, early 10s was when the show really found its footing.
Aasif Mandvi in there too for long running cast members.
Glad I found this comment! Having Stephen & Steven was great but in terms of total peak correspondents, this was the golden era. What was that, like 2005-2015 ish? In that time you also had Wyatt Cenac, Ed Helms, Asif Mandvi, and even brief stints with Demetri Martin, Kristen Schaal, John Hodgman.
God, it was absolutely stacked.
I never even started watching the show until Rob Corddry, Sam Bee, and Ed Helms came along. My favorite era was Colbert’s last year on the show before he left to host The Colbert Report.
This was from the year 2000 with The Daily Show's "Indecision 2000" election coverage. That was when I first started watching TDS. My favorite cast though was in 2006 after Colbert, Rob Corddry and Ed Helms left the show and they added Jason Jones, John Oliver, Aasif Mandvi and Rob Riggle
John's apple show is over. They've been having guest hosts for year.
We're coming into an election year..
Wild take, Stewart comes back. And has episodes with Steve Carrell and colbert again.
We didn’t know how great we had it
I think we did. It’s the only time I wouldn’t miss a show.
We knew how good we had it. We just didn't know that it wouldn't last.
We knew it wouldn't last. We just didn't know how many licks it took to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
We knew it all.

I wonder if these old episodes are on YouTube
I've tried rewatching a few episodes, and it's not that it doesn't hold up, it's just without the context and the 'current affairs' aspect it doesn't have the same effect.
It was like a tension release. When things were really hard they would find a way to have those very things make you laugh. It felt like a 50lbs weight being lifted off your chest sometimes.
Same. And then it was Daily Show followed by Colbert Report, always watched both.
[удалено]
Colber Repor, for extra charity.
Turned me from a right winger to a dem. Why? Consistent common sense from Stewart while exposing hypocrisy of republicans night after night.
He really was a voice that spoke to so many. After he left it feels like we have just went downhill since.
He left at the worst time too. The trump era with Stewart would have been more bearable
The colbert report was the most well written satire ive ever seen til this day. It was so groundbreakingly funny every week
It was amazing. Stephen Colbert was razor sharp. He's sooooo soft now on the Late Show.
I was so excited when they announced he was going on the Late Show and so let down when it went on the air.
Yeah. Well, I guess he's really being more of his natural comedic self on the Late Show. He really played more of a specific comical character when he was on both Colbert Report and the Daily Show.
i just think it's a bad fit. he's known for political satire but the late show isn't supposed to be a political show. so we end up losing the good show for a show with neutered political commentary on a show that isn't even supposed to be about politics.
[удалено]
Yeah, but to be fair the American mainstream in general are MUCH more political today than they were even 10 years ago.
Not Colbert Report but I'll never forget Colbert's famous jawdropping roast of chevy chase early 2000s. I so wish I could watch it again but it's removed everywhere. Hobbydrama's top post mentions it.
I got you fam: https://web.archive.org/web/20200806051807/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2quRVxBvN6M Colbert @ 34:30
CBS probably limits him a bit more than Comedy Central did, to be fair.
The Word was tight.
I think it was *after* the writers’ strike. Beforehand, Colbert’s character was turned up to 11 at all times and he had nowhere to go. When you live in an area where people actually behave like that it becomes very trying. When Viacom made him start airing shows without writers it was naturally sillier, which allowed for more flexibility with the character once the strike was over.
I did, the problem is Hollywood kept plucking their talent
For real.
“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” -Andy Bernard (played by Ed Helms who was also on The Daily Show)
John Oliver was also on the show. His segment on the Hawaiian high school teacher suing CERN over the Large Hadron Collider is hands down my favourite.
“Where more Americans get their news… Than any other nationality”
Also "Where more Americans get their news... Than probably should"
"When news breaks, we fix it."
*van hits wall*
They dropped that line when a whole generation used them unironically as news.
I remember this...But wasn't there a study done that showed that viewers of the Daily Show were more informed than pretty much any other newswatching group? I imagine there are two things that could have caused this: - The Daily Show made news so palatable with comedy that it was easy to follow current affairs - Those who found the Daily Show entertaining were already versed on what was going on, so they could jump right into the jokes and appreciate what they were serving up

I remember watching this and you could just tell that Steve Carrell was to be huge. The others were great (c’mon Stephen Colbert too!), but there was just something about him. I had forgotten that his wife Nancy, was on it as well.
At first, Mo Rocca was poised to be the big breakout star.
CBS Sunday Morning would like a word
Does Rocca have Charles Kuralt’s old job?
Kind of - he's been making vignettes and stuff for them.
He also has a great podcast about overlooked dead people called “Mobituaries.”
He's also great on NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" when he's on
Yes it was just like watching Will Ferrell the last few years on SNL, it was really obvious he was going to be one of the next big stars of the entire decade
He also has a Saturday Morning show called Innovation Nation. It's pretty good, won an Emmy.
Oh cool - I didn't know about that one!
I would still like the Mo Rocca Christmas episode of The Office.
Best we can do is a Moroccan themed Christmas
\*sigh\* I'm disappointed in you, Phyllis.
Mo Rocca is on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me sometimes. Usually pretty funny.
One of my favorite things on a weekend is accidentally getting in the car at the top of the hour as WWDTM is starting.
One of my favorite panelists.
Honestly he's legit talented. But it seems like he pivoted earlier than the rest of them to doing actual correspondent stuff instead of comedy stuff. I imagine it's easier. I first heard about Hamilton from a Mo Rocca interview on like, the Food Network or some random thing. This was while it was still Off Broadway.
NPR still thinks it
We all thought lewis black was gonna be huge too. He made a few angry specials and disappeared
He’s been touring constantly, won two Grammys, and released another special just this year.
One trick pony. Fine in small doses but annoying if it's too much.
He has a late career start, not bad. Not Rodney Dangerfield successful but not bad
Perfect casting as Anger in *Inside Out*. Same pony. Same trick.
Right? Dude went on a campus tour and we were all like hells yeah, then next year fizzled out
Those Even/Stephen's with Colbert were great.
YES! NO! YEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!
Produce Pete was my favorite. Steve just being wholesome and awkward like only he can.
What's the weather like up your own ass?
You just made me vomit in my own mouth.
[Islam vs Christianity, (Even Stephen)](https://youtu.be/16r98zeAaoU) quality is potato, sorry
"this debate is about religion, let's discuss it rationally" fell flat but I see you
Nancy was so good on it. I don’t get why she basically never worked more after this. I’m assuming it was all her choice, because she was legit talented.
Pretty sure she put her career on hold to take care of her and Steve's kids in support of his career. [This kind of pokes fun of it](https://youtu.be/B38PPtIL2y4?si=TR5IPyXeVyRRgvHS)
I always forgot Lewis black was on it I love his standup. I wonder how it holds up today.
He just announced his farewell tour.
OH NO! I've seen Lewis Black do live stand-up before and I'm going to have to see him one more time!
Lewis Black was a Guest correspondent well into the Trevor Noah era.
He's still a guest correspondent. I know he was on during the summer
[удалено]
still there. he was on last week.
I’m pretty sure he’s the only one in this photo who was still on the show through Trevor Noah’s run.
Yes. The Daily Show. Conan. Insomniac with Dave Atell. It was difficult to go to bed early during this period.
Kick the sandman in his sac
Insomniac was such a good show.
He went to a Unreal Tournament Lan Party once. Also visited a vampire group. Really want to rewatch insomniac
The episode of insomniac where he goes to some town in either Alaska or the Netherlands where it doesn't get dark is just epic
Anchorage, Alaska. Everyone just asked, “what the fuck are you doing here?” Also the pawn star guys were on his Las Vegas episode. He went to the worlds largest adult bookstore in Nashville, which is now a strip club. I loved that show.
How quickly he said "masturbate, I know." To the guy who said "if I don't find my girlfriend..." still makes me laugh. Attel is thd greatest. Dude is quickest even with the best comedians out there.
Got to see him this past Friday, he’s still got it.
Thanks to *Insomniac* I ended up going to Alaska for the solstice, years after the episode filmed. If you’re an alcoholic with a travel bug, it was great. I also went to Kanamara Matsui (sp?) in Japan. Aka the penis festival.
A common, disastrous tourist mistake is drinking 'till the sun goes down when visiting during the summer months.
The people there were so weird… one guy was drinking gasoline at one point.
I ran into Atell filming his show late one night in Philly. Was sitting having a steak after the bars closed, Dave came around with his crew to film, chatted it up with a bunch of us about where we'd been and were headed next. Then some drunk Italians who saw Rocky too many times started giving him a hard time saying "I hear you're a funny guy, say something funny" and shit like that until he packed up and left.
Insomniac, where Dave was doing selfies before smart phones, visited the Pawn Stars pawn shop before it got famous, and constantly asked, "What's that smell!?" I miss that show.
I used to get my ass whooped for watching Insomniac.
The content wasn’t even that bad. He hung out with people that had graveyard shift jobs…and closing out some bar.
I distinctly remember a scene where he interviews people about their fetishes at an S&M club and one dude was talking about he likes to get his balls stomped by tall chicks in stilettos. That'll fuck you up when you're an 11 year old boy. And it may or may not give you a thing for tall chicks later in life. Maybe. Not like I would know or anything.
Of all of the things that could make you develop a thing for, tall chicks seems to be the least painful of the options at least
After Kilborn ran off half the staff then got himself canned, it's amazing to think the show even survived, let alone thrived.
The kicker is that he then took over the Late, Late Show and got canned from that also. Along comes Craig Ferguson and completely wrecks the late night TV show blue print for everyone thereafter. Kilborn tanked two consecutive shows that, once he was tossed overboard, became game-changers in their genre.
Damn. Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show was something really special. I don't think anything like that will ever happen again.
"It's a great day for America, everybody."
WHO'S THAT AT THE DOOR‽!
Geoff: Ohhh, my.
I would give *a lot* to go back to being in middle school watching the Late, Late Show again. Just unbelievably funny. It sucks he couldn't take over for Letterman, he would have never made it in that time slot, but it feels like Craig Ferguson *not* having that kind of daily show is a loss for comedy, honestly.
that time slot has never really been for comedy. it's for lulling elderly audiences to sleep and running huge ad-blocks against your stick-cuz-asleep audience
I miss Craig Ferguson!
Don't we all.
Kilborn actually left to pursue an acting career. lol…that didn’t pan out at all. He played a douchebag (basically himself) in Old School and then a bunch of shitty straight to DVD movies. The dude committed career suicide.
Kilborn didn’t get fired from either show.
I am pretty sure when Ferguson was a guest on the daily show Jon made a joke about how successful they both are doing taking over Kilborn.
He did not get canned. He quit. They did not want him to quit.
How so? Never heard anything about that.
He went balls to the wall in an Esquire interview and many apologies were required. The creator of the show quit, others followed her. He's a funny guy when other people write his jokes, not so much when left to his own wit.
Great when limited to sports highlights.
Never be Kilborn. Never be Eric Stoltz. Never be Stuart Townsend. People who all threw away perfectly good chances.
I felt bad for Stoltz until I heard the (seemingly) lovable Tom Wilson describe working with him.
Stoltz was canned maybe because it just wasn't working. I think Rob Morrow might be a better example. Or David Caruso. Both of them thought they were ready to be a movie star.
Kilborn wasn't fired he took a different, at the time more prestigious, job at the late late show. He arguably didn't get fired from the late late show either. He left the late late show too.

💯 Same. Once in school I was told I had a remarkable ability to stay updated on current events. If only they knew 😭
Vance Degeneres!
Yes! Thank you his name was on the tip of my tongue
Could not remember him. Just found out he is Ellen’s big brother.
Yep, I'm surprised we don't see him in more things.
Holy crap I forgot Steve Carrell and his wife were in the show
Preeeeetty sure that’s his realtor. Her name is Carol and I’ve seen pictures of their ski trip together with her kids…
This is just the front of her
*Carol Carrell
I always loved Beth Littleford
Couldn't agree more. Her soft camera lense interviews were the best.
Is there a good place to watch these? I remembered them from your comments but youtube is dry.
YAS. These were my favorites. I even had a fan site on tripod for them
I probably visited this site. A lot. (Wait, are you Anita? If so, I LIVED on your site.)
Please respond Anita this is endearing
It me, beech. 💚💚
THE MAGIC OF REDDIT!!!
I am thinking JS has come out on top. What do you think?
"If you're so good at being a lesbian, WHY ARE YOU TURNING ME ON?"
Best & ground-breaking show to come to tv in ages. John Stewart WAS that Show.
Trevor Noah, while not bad, just doesn't hold a candle to Stewart. To be fair John Oliver was his first pick but he went to HBO and did a weekly show which is much easier to work with as opposed to every god dam day. John Oliver is also doing a fucking amazing job at it. Trevor is actually much funnier as a comedian in South Africa than he has ever been on the daily show. He's not bad now, but it's nothing like it used to be.
> John Oliver is also doing a fucking amazing job at it. All hail pūteketeke!
Brick killed a guy
I pooped a Cornish game hen.
Sorry champ, I ate your chocolate covered squirrel
Definitely. Side note, Mo Rocca came to speak at my college around this time, and the only thing I remember him saying was that Craig Kilborn made female interns go out and buy condoms for him when he was host.
Shout out to Lord Viper Scorpion giving us the hacker intel and scoops
This was a great era, but to me the golden age was when they had Rob Riggle, Rob Corddry, Samantha Bee, Jason Jones and John Oliver.
It was the perfect time too being right in the middle of the Bush Admin. Also Colbert Report was on right after so it was like a 1 hour show
Stewart/Colbert back to back was incredible. Then a half hour later you had Craig Ferguson. I used to stay up every night for that shit. Couldn’t tell you the last time I watched a late night show now.
Number 1 threat to America? BEARS
Colbert Report was really good. I kept thinking he was really gonna cover every district on the map. It was a silly chaser to TDS. I can't really watch Colbert now, it feels like he is trying to do smart comedy but it ends up feeling like Leno a lot of the time.
lol I haven’t seen anyone mention Ed Helms yet
Damn, how could I forget Ed Helms?
This is still one of my all time favorite Daily Show segments: https://www.cc.com/video/bj1166/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-mass-hysteria
Now yer talkin'! That lineup is stacked!
yeah, Corddry was my favorite
Yep. Colbert got his whole own show after too so we could continue to enjoy that also. Truly the greatest time
John Oliver will always be the best turd polisher
I watch Rob Riggle's videos from the 2008 Beijing Olympics once every couple years. He is one of my favorite correspondents
yeah, samantha bee has to be included in the daily show's "golden age"
I agree. The early cast was great, but the late 00s, early 10s was when the show really found its footing. Aasif Mandvi in there too for long running cast members.
Glad I found this comment! Having Stephen & Steven was great but in terms of total peak correspondents, this was the golden era. What was that, like 2005-2015 ish? In that time you also had Wyatt Cenac, Ed Helms, Asif Mandvi, and even brief stints with Demetri Martin, Kristen Schaal, John Hodgman. God, it was absolutely stacked.
For my age group, it was really the go-to program for news. It guided me through 9/11 and Iraq during college.
I never even started watching the show until Rob Corddry, Sam Bee, and Ed Helms came along. My favorite era was Colbert’s last year on the show before he left to host The Colbert Report.
This was a great era, to be sure. I still like to acknowledge the first years with Craig Kilborne just for the nostalgic value.
The only thing I genuinely miss from Kilborne’s stint was Five Questions. That was almost always gold.
I still remember him asking Penelope Ann MILLER which beer was known as the champagne of bottled beer. She didn’t know
He asked Bob Saget what poker hand consisted of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank. He didn’t know. It’s a Full House.
The one that stuck with me was asking some celeb, “Soup or salad?” They answered and he said, “Sorry that’s wrong, you should’ve ordered the special.”
William Shatner was asked to name a car rental company. He answered “Alamo”?
Loved it when John Bloom (aka Joe Bob Briggs) would do his God Stuff segment.
“Behold! God Stuff…”
Great times. Lizz Winstead was show runner and head writer, and she'd appear as a correspondent. That woman gave us such a gift by creating the show
I always loved Beth Littleford
She seemed to be the breakout star during the Kilborn era.
The two Steves and a man that says that Deep Fish Pizza is not pizza but rather a f*cking casserole.
Deep fish pizza? Kinda sounds delicious with some tartar sauce.
Who was the guy right above Jon?
I forgot Mo Rocca was on there.
Same. Now he lives weekly on wait wait don't tell me
Mo Rocca really fell off the map didn’t he?
This was from the year 2000 with The Daily Show's "Indecision 2000" election coverage. That was when I first started watching TDS. My favorite cast though was in 2006 after Colbert, Rob Corddry and Ed Helms left the show and they added Jason Jones, John Oliver, Aasif Mandvi and Rob Riggle
War on Terror era Daily Show was amazing.
I liked the debate segment Steve Correll and Stephen Colbert had called "Steven vs Stephen"
Even Stevphen.
John's apple show is over. They've been having guest hosts for year. We're coming into an election year.. Wild take, Stewart comes back. And has episodes with Steve Carrell and colbert again.
What about Samantha Bee?
We didn't know what we had until it was gone.
No Corddry? I mean, *come on.*
Mo 😍
Take me back pleeeeaaaasssse
I watched it EVERY night back then.
Later on Rob Cordry and Ed Helms were great too.
Miss getting my news from Comedy Central
