Am I the first to post on this? Did you catch it - the gloatingly hilarious, yo-mamma-esque slamming that Jon Stewart laid on the city and people of Boston last night? It was truly a thing of beauty - and it never. freakin’. ended - he really had fun with it. At the end, when he said “and if you think this is in retaliation to all of my writers and crew from Boston who have been taunting me for months - you’re g\*d **n, muthaf** king right it is!!” I just about died. ---

That was funny, but I was much more wrapped up in the three-show-crossover Conan fight! ---

I fell asleep before the Conan part, can someone tell me how they concluded this? He also mentioned that the Giants won the Superbowl! Jon also mentioned that the writers strike might be near ending. WooHoo! Did anyone try the website he listed? I didn’t catch it all. Jim (BTW: The Giants Won the Superbowl) ---

Um, why is it changed to **‘A’** Daily Show now? What happened to the **‘The’**? ---

[QUOTE=Sitnam] Um, why is it changed to **‘A’** Daily Show now? What happened to the **‘The’**? [/QUOTE] On the first show since it went on hiatus because of the writers’ strike, Jon Stewart announced that it wasn’t really “The Daily Show” without the writers; instead, it was simply “ **A** Daily Show”. ---

[QUOTE=Marley23] That was funny, but I was much more wrapped up in the three-show-crossover Conan fight! [/QUOTE] I DVRed Conan last night to see how it came out. Haven’t watched it yet, but it struck me that this bit filled up most of at least 2 of the 3 shows. Much easier than memorizing the bits. I know where Jon was coming from. My brother moved to Boston (we were brought up in NY) and became a Patriots fan (the traitor.) He’s been bugging me all year about how great they are. I didn’t laugh. Much. ---
