New York vs. Philadelphia: Who Has the Douchiest Fans?
You might have thought the World Series game between New York and Philadelphia the other night was huge. Well, Jason Jones and John Oliver from The Daily Show are here to prove that the real competition was between the fans — battling it out for the title of American sports' douchiest fans. It was a really hard one to judge, as you will see.
Jon Stewart Calls Out Obama on Don't Ask, Don't Tell
On last night's show, Jon Stewart pondered whether gay people frighten Americans more than terrorists. Why else would Obama stall the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), turning away openly gay Americans ready to fight for the country?
The official word from the Obama administration is that they have too much on their plates right now to figure out how to let gay Americans serve in the military.
Jon Stewart to Bill Clinton: Are You Batman?
Just like Jon Stewart, I was wondering what the heck must have gone through Bill Clinton's mind when he met North Korea's Kim Jong Il with hopes of securing the release of journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee. Well last night, the former president chatted with Jon about the whole ordeal. My favorite part came when Jon asked Bill about his role as Batman, since, you know, Clinton acts as an international superhero these days.
Rachel Talks Heartache and Time Travel but Not Josh Lucas
Rachel McAdams signed autographs outside of The Daily Show's studio in NYC yesterday. She's out promoting The Time Traveler's Wife after Wednesday's big premiere with Brad Pitt, where Rachel opened up about wanting to be a mother and heartache but refused to answer questions about her rumored split with Josh Lucas. Buzz wasn't loving the movie, which opens today — check out her interview with Jon Stewart below.
Jon Stewart: Most Trusted News Person Among Neocons?
There's evidence that Jon Stewart is not just the most trusted person in news among laughing liberals. In a recent New York magazine article, neoconservative pundits says they too love the fake-news anchor for his intellectual curiosity.
Republican national-security hawk Cliff May was pleasantly surprised when he appeared as a guest on the program notorious for its cracks against the Republican party.
Jon Stewart: So You Think You Can Douche?
First acknowledging that he made a living bashing George W. Bush, Jon Stewart explored how cable news personalities are currently attacking President Obama. On last night's Daily Show Jon premiered a new segment — called "So You Think You Can Douche" — featuring highlights from Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Lou Dobbs.
Is Jon Stewart the Most Trustworthy News Person?
When Time Magazine asked the question — "Now that Walter Cronkite has passed on, who is America's most trusted newscaster?" — the number one answer was journalist comedian Jon Stewart. Brian Williams came in second place, followed by Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric.
Jon Stewart on the Birthers: What Is Going On Here?!
People won't stop talking about President Barack Obama's citizenship this week. News sources from Fox News to CNN are inexplicably giving air time to the so-called "birthers" — people who believe that the president was not born in the United States and that his official Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake. On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart explored the (comical) evidence supporting the theory that Obama is not only the first black US president, but also the first non-American president, while trying to answer the question I keep coming back to: "What is going on here?!?!"
Jon Stewart: White Men Can't Judge
Supreme Court confirmation hearings are typically boring, but Jon Stewart found a way to make Sonia Sotomayor's laugh-out-loud funny on last night's Daily Show. Jon took on Republicans, who "want to register their distaste for the nominee" without seeming "as racist as the nominee herself." He didn't spare Democrats, either, as a few of them got a tad bit emotional about the nomination.
Jason Jones Gets to the Truth One Joke at a Time
I've been finding the segments The Daily Show's Jason Jones taped a couple of weeks ago in Iran exceptionally enlightening. His visit with an Iranian family last week did more to reveal similarities between everyday Americans and Iranians than any high-level diplomatic effort could have. Using humor, Jones shows how ridiculous stereotypes about Iranian people are.
