On tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert took a close look at Fox News' reaction to President Obama's appearance which, naturally, they weren't too wild about.
Jon Stewart Takes a Few Swipes at Rupert Murdoch
Matt Toder · 04/26/12 10:40PMOn tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart caught up on the various government inquiries into Rupert Murdoch in the wake of the hacking scandal that caused him to shut down the News of the World.

The second Jersey Shore spin-off, Snooki & JWoww is set to premiere Thursday, June 21 on MTV. It doesn't look as miserable as The Pauly D Project, so that deserves at least a faint, "Yeah, buddy!"
