Jon Stewart Addresses the Results of the Iowa Caucuses

Matt Toder · 01/04/12 11:39PM

On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart had his chance to address the results of the Iowa Caucuses. He paid special attention to the candidates' speeches, making sure to highlight Marcus Bachmann's doggie sunglasses shopping spree and Ron Paul's obscure reference to a couple of Austrian economists. Stewart also had some choice words for winner Mitt Romney and his public persona which he purchased along with his victory.

Jon Stewart Catches Us Up In Advance of the Iowa Caucuses

Matt Toder · 01/03/12 11:31PM

Tonight's Daily Show can't comment on the Iowa caucuses on account of having been taped earlier today but that didn't stop Jon Stewart from breaking out his "White Man's Sampler" box of chocolates and breaking down the candidates. The plain one is Romney of course, the one filled with nuts is Bachmann and the one with the terrible cherry concoction inside is, naturally, Santorum.

Jon Stewart to the Republican Electorate: 'Don't Do This'

Matt Toder · 12/15/11 11:46PM

On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart used his last show of the year to deliver an impassioned plea to the people who have made Newt Gingrich the latest frontrunner for the Republican nomination; it boiled down to, simply, "don't do this." Stewart trotted out footage of other prominent Conservatives who have major problems with Gingrich but it doesn't seem to matter. After all, nothing can undo Gingrich's greatest quality: not being Mitt Romney.

Jon Stewart Pits Romney Against Obama To See Who Has the Bigger Sack

Matt Toder · 12/14/11 11:54PM

On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart pitted Mitt Romney against President Obama in the only category that truly matters: ball size. Each man has a legitimate claim to the prize, Romney for suggesting that Newt Gingrich is inconsistently conservative and Obama for asking Iran to return the downed drone that was spying on them. The competition was most certainly stiff and, in the end, President Obama won by a hair.

Jon Stewart on TLC's Disappointingly Terror-Free All American Muslim

Matt Toder · 12/13/11 11:56PM

On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart took a look at the controversy surrounding TLC's new show, All American Muslim, and the Tampa-based group that hates it. Because the Muslims depicted in the show aren't shown to be terrorists bent on destroying America, the Florida Family Association can't abide it. Like most zealots, all they want is their stereotypes reinforced. Is it too much to ask for Bravo to whip up a season of the The Real Martyrs of Jalalabad? Sheesh.

'The Daily Show' Botches a Camel Stunt

Jim Newell · 02/23/11 03:17PM

The Daily Show's coverage of the protests in Madison, Wisconsin hasn't used any of its rumored "camel footage" yet, and this YouTube clip may show you why. The show thought it would be funny to bring a camel to the protests on Monday, presumably as some sort of joke about how the issues there are so puny compared to what's going down in the Middle East. But Madison blogger Jack Craver got footage of the camel slipping in the ice and slush, moaning, and falling down along with the barricade surrounding it. Daily Show correspondent John Oliver briefly walks in front of Craver, too, suggesting he turn the camera off. Oh, that John Oliver! (Yikes.)

'Daily Show' Hurts New Jersey City's Feelings

Adrian Chen · 11/21/10 03:54PM

Last week, the Daily Show mocked the town of Bayonne, New Jersey, in a spoof of Sarah Palin's Alaska. Jason Jones' Bayonne featured Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones taking in the city's Russian hookers and industrial wasteland. Bayonne is pissed.

Larry Craig Totally Tricked By The Daily Show

Adrian Chen · 06/02/10 10:44PM

Ha, ex-Senator Larry Craig sent out an email saying that he would be appearing on The Daily Show, but that "they won't be discussing the past"—i.e. his gay restroom sex scandal. Uh, has he ever seen the show?

Tracy Morgan Crazies His Way Through Daily Show Interview

Adrian Chen · 04/15/10 10:45PM

Tonight, Tracy Morgan gave a hilariously shout-y interview to Jon Stewart on The Daily Show that played out more like the first draft of some forgotten SNL sketch, centering around $75 Morgan says he's owed by Toby McGuire.

Fun with Fox Racism

Pareene · 01/06/10 12:47PM

Sometimes it takes a wacky comedy show montage to remind you how completely ok casual racism still is on the TV. Last night's Daily Show featured this Glenn Beck classic, on how dirty and stupid Indians are.

Wyatt Cenac On Dating

Anderson Evans · 01/05/10 09:00PM

Daily Show Don Juan, Wyatt Cenac, explains to a comedy-club audience that his "dick and balls are pretty open-minded when it comes to religion..." Whether it's political satire, or just talking about Jewish princesses, Wyatt is a smooth comedic operator.

Conservatives Prove Evilness of ACORN

Pareene · 09/16/09 02:12PM

Whoops, Jon Stewart didn't get the liberal media memo about never ever saying anything bad about Democrats. Did you watch those hilarious ACORN tapes? They are proof that everything Michelle Malkin has ever said is true.
