The Daily Show Appreciation Thread

[impy13]

Having just completed my Indecision 2004 DVDs, I've decided The Daily Show is one of my favorite shows of all time.

Irreverent. Hilarious. Consistent, which is rare to find in comedy. The Daily Show should be required viewing for anyone with a heart that beats. Even the book was amazing.

Show The Daily Show with your love.

Thanks Lila. Watching clips now

My friends tell me I'm the female Lewis Black.
Which I think means I'm due for a heart attack.

But it also means you're funny as shit, so you know, at least you've got that.

I didn't start watching until after the election, so I will definitely be checking out the Indecision 2004 DVDs!

I thought I was going to go nuts during the recent hiatus. I was going through withdrawl syndromes. I can't even watch the regular news anymore without wondering how Jon will snark on it.

 

[Lila64]

I should probably Tivo (Moxie in my neck of the woods) it - love Stewart!

 

[hippy]

I the Daily Show!

I always laugh my ass off... but then I'm also in awe of how articulate and smart and quick Jon is!

One of my favorite segments is "This Week is God"


So much great stuff to say about the show!

Daily Show

Jon Stewart



This is tied with Family Guy as my favorite show on television. Not only are Jon and the anchors constantly hilarious, but Jon doesn't beat around the bush much in interviews, either. I'm not sure if any of you caught the one a few nights ago where he interviewed the author of that book about the 100 People Who Are Ruining America (or something to that effect), but he was actually grilling the guy in some aspects. Though, he never lost his cool, and remained funny, which is why I love him so.

 

[Lancemc]

Have to agree with Hendrix. For me, The Daily Show and Family Guy are tied for funniest/best shows on T.V.

So many awesome Jon Stewart quotes around, but for some reason this one sticks out in my mind most.

"(Not verbatim) One of the top news stories this week is Wynona Ryder's being charged for shoplifting. But, uhh, who really gives a shit?"

 

[unosdostres14]

It was amazing when Jon Stewart went on Crossfire and said that their show was hurting America.




AND THEN HE CALLED TUCKER CARLSON A DICK

 

[VertigoGal]

I agree about the Crossfire thing. That was so hot!

anyway, gotta love the Daily Show. I watch it religiously. To be honest, I've been kinda concerned with the writing quality the past week...however that interview with Bernard Gold-something was pretty hilarious. He was saying how bad our culture was cos we say "fuck" too much, and Jon was like, 'let's look at the big picture, Thomas Jefferson fucked slaves, I think we're getting better!' lol

some of my fav segments would have to be the one on Justice Sunday (that whole episode was hilarious) and any version of This Week in God.

I've got that one on the dvr! My mom and I have watched it twice!


I just love Jon's delivery of all of the news stories! He does the best reaction faces

As they say, it's the best fake news show on tv!

 

[Pearl]

Love the show! I watch it all the time. My favorite segments are when Jon Stewart shows how ridiculous the three news networks can be.
I'm trying to get my parents to watch it, but it hasn't caught on with them.

 

[redkat]

It's the best and Jon Stewart is everyone should get their new from Jon. We'd be a smarter nation

"Great Moments in Punditry... as read by children!"

 

[myusernamehere]

This week in God is one of my favorite segments.



I the book.

"Lemme tell you how we do it in Canada"

 

[Lila64]

'Rove Actually' - This episode just cracked me up. I didn't watch it online, I watched it on TV. I'm assuming they are going with the same one online that I saw. Laughed my ass off. Hopefully you recognize the movie clip (it's from the 60s movie 'Bye Bye Birdie', for those of you too young to know...)

[WildHoneyAlways]

I've been a fan of Jon Stewart since he had a show on MTV. His book America is the funniest thing I've read in a long long time. (the fact that I teach social studies adds extra amusement )

 

[Lila64]

maybe it will become required reading

 

[nurse chrissi]

I love the daily show (am concerned as I tend to get most of my news from the daily show - their synopsis of the Karl Rove story was probably the best out there)

Love "This Week in God" - my favorite was the one where they had the Olive Garden as a sponsor "Where every meal is good enough to be your last supper"
Plus "Zell on Earth" is now a classic (its on the DVD)
Funny, irreverent, smart, witty, brave, with a big
heart

 

[anitram]

Got tix to see Jon Stewart in October for my birthday.

 

[Diane L]

Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show" are fantastic! I like their point-of-view.

If you go to this link: http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/headlines/index.jhtml

and click on 'Inarguable Failure', this is a clip from the show that aired 9/6, the first since the Hurricane (and back from vacation). I watched it last night. Priceless...

 

[IWasBored]

the daily show is comedic (comic?) greatness. if i could ever remember when it was on, i would watch it more often.

 

[Lila64]

In my neck of the woods, it's on at 11:00pm, and re-aired at 1:00am. I'm sure you can surf the Comedy Central site for a schedule (if it's different in other cities/states)

in theory, i could do that.

 

[kellyahern]

It also repeats at 8 p.m. EST.

Can't wait for the hurricane one tonight . (11 p.m. is too late for me ).
