Please, please, _please_ let’s keep this out of the pit. Two things I can think of off the top of my head-- Gonzalez resigns and, of course, Senator Craig. What else do you think they’ll mention tonight? Holy crap! I **put** it in the pit. I meant to put this in Cafe Society. They most likely will not mention this faux pas on the Daily Show Tonight. ---

Asking for it not to be put in the Pit and then actually starting it there is really more Colbert-esque than _Daily Show_-like, IMHO. ---

Craig’s going to be the lead tonight I’m sure (probably with a John Oliver segment on “gay bathroom signals”). I thought of DAILY SHOW immediately when, in response to “Osama’s Sweatin’ to the Hadiths IV: Electric Jihadaloo” tape last week Bush responded "“If al Qaeda bothers to mention Iraq, it’s because they want to achieve their objectives in Iraq, which is to drive us out.” I can hear Stewart mentioning how {formerly TDS guests} Michael Scheuer, Noam Chomski, and Grecian Formula are also al-Qaeda alligned since they all figure in the tape as well, and thus by extension TDS itself. ---

Well, they did the Craig story. Nice to see Corddry again. Wonder if he’s back as a regular. ETA: Moment of Zen was priceless. ---

I don’t understand why they did the bathroom stall with a green screen. They can afford to send a guy to Iraq for real, but they need to fake a mens room? ---

“Gay don’t work that way” Oh Jesus, that whole, “Trapped in the Closet” part killed me… Great show. I also thought Colbert was great too. ---

[QUOTE=RandMcnally] I always thought those green screens were just a joke? [/QUOTE] You mean the using of them? No, they really do do most of their location pieces with one. Re the OP, they missed Tony Snow’s resignation. (I mean they missed it when it happened. I don’t know if they mentioned it last night as I haven’t seen the ep yet.) ---

Riggle went as part of a USO show and included some film as part of the trip he would have made anyway. And yes, the green sceens are part of the “fake news” joke. ---
