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.
