The Daily Show and The Colbert Report were NOT in repeats this week until an unexpected (unexpected to me anyway) absence on Thursday night.
What gives?
4 Day Father’s Day Weekend?
Reluctance to cover the Weiner resignation?
Just rewatched the “Moment of Zen” from Wednesday’s episode. Jon says “That’s it for The Daily Show. Join us next week at 11. Here it is, your moment of Zen.”
So, as early as Wednesday, anyway, they knew there’d be no Thursday show- so, it can’t be Weiner Resignation related (unless, Weiner called Stewart on Wednesday- seems highly unlikely).
So . . . a three show week? This is unusual, isn’t it? Do they do three show weeks from time to time, and I just hadn’t noticed before? I figured it was always either a week of repeats or new shows Monday through Thursday.
