The Daily Show 2008
A Daily Show with Jon Stewart
---
01-08: Jon's strike solidarity... unibrow?
---
01-09: John Oliver... present due to the potential threat of deportation? Â Man, that makes Stewart's uncomfort about returning to the... err, a show seem like nothing.
---
01-10: John Oliver on again tonight. Â I wonder if, due to the circumstances mentioned yesterday, he's the only correspondent?
---
01-11: Nope. Â Mandvi, Riggle, and Jones were on tonight.
---
01-14: Fareed Zakaria, making his three-hundred seventh Daily Show appearance.
---
01-15: Jon and John Bolton were much more civil tonight. Â Not like their arguments about Lincoln during his last appearance.
---
01-16: Too bad he couldn't have the show run long like Stephen did last week; the third of that Jonah Goldberg interview we saw was pretty interesting.
---
01-17: Ahaha, a look back on the Lewinsky scandal of a decade ago, "10 Suckin' Years". Â The retro clips of Jon Stewart were great. Â "Jon, your younger brother was very talented."
---
01-21: I think tonight's guest gave too little credit to the stories and traits newsmen assign to candidates. Â He said by the time one got recognized another would be there to replace it. Â However, things like "Al Gore exaggerates" and "John Kerry is a fake" went on for a good year.
---
01-22: So they've sent Jason Jones to Iceland to get their troop to return to Iraq.
---
01-23: Jason Jones on his failure: "I'd let down my country. Â Also the one below it." (HE IS CANADIAN HURF BURF.)
---
01-24: Tonight's guest: the "hot lady" in the "hot lady/bald guy" pair they were recently talking about financial shows being.
---
01-28: It's... A Daily Show. Â But nothing in particular leaps out.
---
01-29: Jon agrees... that was a pretty lame State of the Union.
---
01-30: Jon Stewart is very short. Â Also, they had to pull all the Giuliani 9/11 jokes they could this time, since they won't get as many chances. Â "After finishing 9th and 11th in Florida" ... "He made the announcement at 11 after 9, Giuliani Standard Time"
---
01-31: I should really write these things sooner, because backwriting this entry from February 5th, I can't say much what happened.
---
02-04: Ménage à awesome.
---
02-05: Jon... never quite competent with the props. Â Getting that fire extinguisher expellent all over his legs, ahahaha.
---
02-06: New Daily Show poll organization... featuring pretty well every single current correspondent. Â Making death threats.
---
02-07: If Mitt Romney continues his campaign... the terrorists win. Â Also, an Ed Helms repeat from late 2005.
---
02-11: On Hillary talking about eating hot peppers: "Her campaign may not be on fire, but I'm guessing her anus is."
---
02-12: It somehow seems appropriate that frequent The Daily Show guest Bill Kristol would make an appearance on A Daily Show before its demise.
---
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
---
02-13: The The is back!
Actually the first thing I noticed that signaled a return to normalcy was Jon's show-beginning doodling. Â "He's writing!" I said, "On a script!"
---
02-14: (I forgot to comment again.)
---
02-26: Ahh, the good old post-Oscars Jon-bashing. Â Lowest ratings ever? Â Ouch. Â To misquote Jon Oliver, "Two years ago when you gave a basic cable performance, millions watched. Â Now when you give a world-class performance, you bring in a basic cable audience."
---
02-27: Nobody drinks condom coffee like Jason Jones.
---
02-28: The youth-based version of the TDS election street team was even more ridiculous.
---
03-03: The flow of the Hillary interview was totally blown by the satellite lag and them talking over each other.
---
03-04: I want to watch Riggle's do-or-die primary show. Â "One will win. Â The other will get their head chopped off and shit down their neck!"
---
03-05: Jack Nicholson's Hillary ad is crazy. Â Jon's fake one is crazier.
---
03-06: Boy oh boy, more of their filthy filthy animations. Â This time with Michigan's mitten and Florida's... Dangleschlong. Â Not to mention that dirty Upper Peninsula.
---
03-10: Rob Riggle vs anti-Marine forces.
---
03-11: Ahaha at Lewis Black. Â Says he's not been on the show much lately, but when news broke about a prostitution scandal there was a helicopter at his apartment to rush him to the studio.
---
03-12: Nice "Tainted Gov" trailer.
John Oliver says prostitutes are Spitzer's Achilles heel, if Achilles's heel had been on his penis.
---
03-13: New contributor, Kristen Schaal.
Guest Dana Perino. Â They're really racking up those press secretaries.
---
03-17: Ahahaha, Aasif's financial report done during a jump from a building.
Wilmore on Spitzer's replacement: "People thought they were eleting a white governor with a black sidekick. Â Now the sidekick is governor? Â Imagine if Ernie Hudson became lead Ghostbuster. Â Most customers would rather have a ghost in their house than Ernie Hudson."
---
03-18: New segment: "The Govs Must Be Horny". Â Let's see if they can get through all 50.
---
03-19: This just in: Jon Stewart to die at the end of March 2008 from the great plague.
---
03-20: The return of the long fake hands! Â Last seen correcting Huckabee on his closeness to the nomination, now correcting 2003 Rummy on the shortness of the war.
Nice faux-(diamond commercial) for a 5th anniversary gift for Iraq.
They're on tonight! Â Dick Cheney: International Man of Misery.
Hey, a toss!
---
03-31: Jon predicts a Mets year of 162-0.
Ahaha. Â Bush threw out the first pitch on "Boo day".
---
04-01: Non-notable.
---
04-02: Monsters of Nostalgia tour? Â I could go for that.
---
04-03: Jon really lost it during John's recitation of ribald names.
---
04-07: got mlk?
Ahaha. Â Riggle as a CG dolphin with breasts called Beowulf Porpoiseburg? Â This show has come far.
---
04-08: Not notable enough to remember some days later when I write this.
---
04-09: I love "Iraq Me Dave Petraeus".
Even Future Jon uses the fake hands.
Ahahahaha... Stephen confuses Petraeus hearings with Battlestar Galactica.
---
04-10: Oliver's documentary on the... maturation of Fox's political views from one heavily criticizing executive power to one heavily in favor of executive power was quite interesting.
---
04-14: Jon's new word game: Take everything Bush says will happen to Iraq if we leave, but change it to saying that's what would happen if we invade, and it's true. Â Part of his nonexistent book Sad Libs.
---
04-15: Bush administration torture group: People for the Ethical Treatment of Nobody.
---
04-16: Bush to Pope: "Awesome speech."
A... field piece? Â They have them on this show?
---
04-17: Jon to ABC's debate runners: "Stop doing my job!"
---
04-21: Thank goodness Larry Wilmore is there to interpret blanguage for us.
Also, Barack showed up (via satellite). Â That's both shows consecutively (not counting the weekend).
---
04-22: Hill-rod? Â Seriously?
---
04-23: On Clinton's number games: "That sounds like a giant If You to the process."
---
04-24: I wonder how comfortable McCain will be coming back to the show, now that he's under greatly increased scrutiny from the team?
What a penis-ful episode.
---
04-28: Ahahaha. Â Penis theft panic color alert chart.
The Reverending Story
---
04-29: Aasif really seems to be enjoying GTA IV.
Ahaha. Â A PSA for dry humping.
---
04-30: One story stretched to eight news cycles: "Festival of Wrights".
Nice hat, Stephen!
---
05-01: Jason Jones: Pretty horrible person.
---
05-05: A Charlie Brown Gas Tax Holiday
These political advertisers... wow, such scum!
Stephen renounces Jon as his pastor.
---
05-06: R. Kelly impersonator is back!
The Pollies are great.
Fareed Zakaria. Â And why not.
---
05-07: McCain makes a much better talk show guest than presidential candidate.
---
05-08: Lewis Black on stimulus: "I wonder what I can invade for $600."
---
05-12: If this interview with ex-Undersecretary of Defense Doug Feith were being covered on The Daily Show, I think their graphic would say "Feith Club".
---
05-13: Mind of Scalia... that would probably be better.
Indecisionski 08avich

---
06-10: Gitmo: Least popular Sesame Street muppet ever.
Ahaha. Â Enhanced Makeover for a Guantanamo cell.
