Comedy Central has recently introduced [TheDailyShow.com](http://www.thedailyshow.com), the new official website for _The Daily Show with Jon Stewart_. Although it gives you information and such, by far the most interesting part of the site is its thousands of free videos of classic _Daily Show_ clips dating back from Jon Stewart’s start in 1999. Although it is by no means complete, it does have a lot of stuff, including the always funny John Hodgman and, of course, Dr. Stephen Colbert, before he had a _Report_ of his own. (Here’s hoping Stephen will get his own site like this someday!) ---

Now of course we must track down our old favorites. Here’s one of mine, Steve Carell’s Very Special Christmas Specials Christmas Special. > **[The Daily Show with Trevor Noah | Comedy Central](https://www.cc.com/shows/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah)** > > The Daily Show is an Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning program that looks at the day’s top headlines through a sharp, reality-based lens. ---

WTF is up with their search engine? Anything you search for, from “Colbert” to “gfhfdh” finds the same 55 videos. ---

This is a wonderful idea- no one’s making any money off the old episodes of this show, and they may as well be available. ---

[QUOTE=thelurkinghorror] WTF is up with their search engine? Anything you search for, from “Colbert” to “gfhfdh” finds the same 55 videos. [/QUOTE] The search engine now works. Although the works of Vladimir Gfhfdh still remain lost to obscurity, I can now fulfill **marshmellow** ’s request: [Royal Pain](http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=108395&title=prince-charles-scandal), featuring Doritos® brand tortilla chips presents Dr. Stephen Colbert and a banana. Here’s one of my favorites: [Getting Pfukked](http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=115448&title=confirm-or-deny), featuring Rob Corrdry. (Names for segments are my own, but I think they fit.) ---

What’s up with this site? I can’t get this week’s show anymore; it’s a week behind. ---

They’re supposed to be getting up pre-Jon years shortly. Even though I prefer Jon over Craig, those clips are still really funny. Stephen had some brilliant moments back then, including a trip to a KKK rally and tempting Bigfoot with a pot of beans.
