I watched TV today for the first time in a long time, and it turns out I picked a pretty good day. I went downstairs to get breakfast today a little before 2000 (I’ve changed my sleep schedule around a lot) and got a bowl of cereal, then sat down to watch tv. What? The Daily Show? Its a rerun right?
Lo and behold, the opening animation introduced it as January 7th, 2008 (rebroadcast of last night’s show)! Somehow, no one told me about this. Last night, probably around the same time this episode was airing for the first time, I was complaining about how I missed the Daily Show. Although, until the writers return, they’ll be broadcasting as ‘A Daily Show with Jon Stewart.’
The Colbert Report took a similar change in title, abandoning the French pronounciation of the show for the American pronounciation, complete with T’s. But then, after these two shows which I missed so dearly, what come on next? Futurama! And then South Park! Hot damn, Comedy Central came out swinging.
