With most clips of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report deleted from Youtube, what's left? Viacom doesn't care, as they're already pre-selling the expanded capabilities of Comedycentral.com at the Media Summit conference. CC-hosted clips already have embed capabilities, allowing users to slap the clips on MySpace or blogs, Youtube-style. Of course, you don't get to pick what clips are available, nor can you avoid the occasional bumper ad. Expect to see more of those ads, in fact — otherwise, what's the advantage of spending money to host your own content?
