Did I hear The Daily Show correctly last night? I swear that I heard Jon Stewart say “Fuck” without being bleeped. When the guest mentioned Bill Clinton Stewart said, “I swore that guy was a fucking robot” (or something along those lines). Did anyone else catch that?

I believe that the 11pm broadcast of The Daily Show is bleeped less (or not at all) than the reruns during the day.

I heard it too. We TiVoed the midnight (Central time) broadcast, which often is not bleeped like the 10pm and daytime broadcasts. Comedy Central shows uncensored movies after midnight too, so I guess they figure \*The Daily Show \* isn’t any different.

I heard it too. “I _knew_ he was a fuckin’ robot!” I did a double-take, rewound the DVR and listened to it a few more times to be sure.
