Sad News Hits the Fake News
We got cranky last night when we discovered The Daily Show was a rerun. Now we feel bad about that.
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) — An employee of the Comedy Central program "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" has committed suicide, leading the network to suspend production of Monday night's episode of the program, a spokesman confirmed.
Bill Clarey, 25, took his own life over the weekend, according to the network. A former "Daily Show" intern, Clarey also worked as a receptionist at the program's offices in New York.
That's horrible, in every way, for all involved. A Daily Show spokesman confirms to Gawker, however, that the show will return tonight. Which is hardly solace, but still.
