During the 2000 Republican convention:
Bob Dole is doing the expert convention thing with Jon Stewart when someone (I think it was Mo) announced breaking news from the convention floor. They cut to a live shot and it’s Elizabeth Dole with a message:
“Bob, I’m going to be here about another hour. I need you to get our thing from the hotel because I want to get out of here by midnight. I don’t want to get caught up in the crowd.”
Cut back to Bob and Jon laughing hysterically.
just reading this one made me laugh out loud.
I LOVE JOHN STEWART!!!
BTW, if you have the opportunity to see Lewis Black live, GO!
Worth every freaking penny. (wasn’t really that much, but SOOO worth it)
Sigh. I remember the original thread where you announced that. I’ve been here way too long.
BTW, I heard a rumor that Jon Stewart may be leaving. Any truth to that?
Post-election Indecision 2000 was absolutely classic timeless hilarious, and the two bits above–the Caligula coronation, and the Tribunal of Eeeevillll–were the best. Stephen Colbert is a genius.
non-election runner-up: Colbert’s report from the Olympics, that turned into a Nazi rant about breeding a race of super men.
Cite! Cite!
He was wearing a costume, a fairy IIRC, something with wings, anyway, at a geek…er…some kind of Con.
This was from the Kilborn era. Remember when that gay cruise ship was refused port by the Camen Islands? They did a bit about that and then Kilborn reports that the gay cruise shippers were so mad that they made up T-shirts with the slogan: “CAMEN MY ASS!”.
He goes on to say that they tried to get a statement from a member of the staff of the ship but couldn’t tell who they were because everyone on the ship was wearing a sailor’s outfit.
Look, dave, you may dream of me in a fairy costume (you pervert!), but that’s not what I was wearing. It was at Gaylaxicon 2000, the annual national GLBT sci-fi convention (that year held in Washington, D.C., and that I’m running in San Diego in 2004), and I was in the costume masquerade as James from Team Rocket, a Pokemon character (and what I did to Ash Ketchum on stage was suitable only for a queer con 
).
So nyeh. Freak.

I can only take so much Lewis Black, and each Basck in Black segment is perfect in length. He had me in stiches with the begining and end of the universe deal where the Starbucks was across the street from a Starbucks. Hi-freaking-larious. Favorite Back in Black right there.
Favorite Daily Show: Maybe a reall good Ad Nausea, right now, something I can’t stop thinking about from the daily show is one of their commericials…
Jon:Other news programs try to create controversy .
cut to clip of other news program doing just that
Jon:Here at the daily show, our anchors actually hate each other.
Stephen Colbert insults the new guy w/ glasses
New guy returns insult
they fight
cut to the Daily show title with a voice over like “Daily show, weeknights at 10pm”
Colbert and new guy right outside the building insult each other once more.
Mo Rocca comes out of the door and notices those 2
Mo:Huh, I though the dousche parade was in town next week.
Mo just takes off running before they can even respond
they chase him
In the recent election coverage, the Ta-DAAA Ballot.
Lord, I laughed so hard milk came out of my nose . . . and I wasn’t even drinking milk!
Yeah, that was hilarious! And the color wheel graph with a different color for each candidate in each congressional district!
I so mad at Comedy Central though. They used to show the previous night’s show weekdays at 6pm. Now I can’t catch up if I miss it at ten.
**fuckers![/sub]
hmmmm…I forgot what I was coding…dammit!
that is what 12:30 am is for…
No, thats what Tivo is for. My favorite line was when John went to a clip of Bush making a speech outlining his plans for future legislation etc. Bush says something along the lines of-- Our country has been exposed to unprecidented dangers of terrorism, a collapsing job market,corporate scandals…Then Jon breaks in and says Yes and this is just my FIRST YEAR! That man cracks me up, Plus as a recent item his Daily Show rock cartoon on midterm elections was a keeper
They weren’t against him. They cheered like crazy because they were happy to see that he enjoyed GTA3 as much as they all did.
Definitely Steve Colbert’s Nazi rant at the winter olympics.
“Blonde hair gives power, Jon”
Also, any Back inBlack segment.
