The Daily Show with John Stewart

[Jonah Weiland]

I'm curious how many of you here watch the Daily Show regularly. Four days a week? When you can? How often do you watch?

Me, I've got the TiVo recordining every episode. Drives me nuts when they go on vacation, though, and don't feed any listing information to TiVo. Then my TiVo ends up recording every episode they show each day, which means it records five+ episodes a day unless I tell it not to.

Hey, look, it's Jonah, the CBR prophet! ;)

J-Bone, you know I love the show and I'm looking forward to the "Stephen Colbert Report" starting this week.

Colbert seems like a bit of nerd... hmm, CBR interview in the waiting?

Really!? I thought the whole thing was just a joke

[Inkthinker]

I watch it every day that they've got a new one.

I usually watch it as much as I can. Which translate into 3 or 4 times a week. As much as I like Conan O'Brien, I like the Daily Show more just because it's so topical.

[clayholio]

I catch pretty much every episode. There's not a whole lot else that I watch on TV, and especially not at that hour, so yeah.

I'm looking forward to "The Colbert Report," mainly because that means I won't have to change channels at 11:30 every night.

[Harry Angel]

It drives my wife crazy because she would rather watch Friends reruns, but I try to catch it every night it's new.

[Tommy]

I watch it Daily. Personally I think it is a lot better than most news shows since tthey call people on the B.S.

[Sanagi]

Whenever it's new I make the effort to watch it. I hope the Colbert Report is good. He's hilarious on every show I've seen him on(see also Strangers with Candy, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law), I just hope his humor isn't spread too thin by having his own show.

[ragnarok_2012]

I watch it when I can. Ends up being something like once per week. I'm also a big fan of Stephen Colbert's work on TDS, and I look forward to his new show.

Though his real name isn't Colbert. It's Ted. Ted Hitler. :D

[Greg Hatcher]

We never miss it. It's set to tape. We do skip the reruns, but our ritual is to rewind the tape from the night before when we get home from work and get caught up during dinner.

Then we watch Jeopardy. Because we are, in addition to being political junkies, enormous nerds.

[Dark Galaxy]

Every day it's on. It makes me laugh. Gives me hope. Sends me off to dreamland in a good mood. The Daily Show is good stuffs.

[Grant]

I haven't watched since I canceled cable. I miss it though.

Are you referring to the Viggo Mortensen interview with the audio clip of Colbert showing himself to be a LotR fanatic?

I catch the show as often as I can, but my enjoyment of it can vary greatly depending on the segment. All too often they seem to put the humor second, and go for a much more editorial tone.

This is most evident when they show a clip of some recent White House press conference, and then show an older clip of someone (possibly the same person) saying something different. It actually tends to be rather good editorializing, and something that other news editorialists ought to do more often, but it's not terribly *funny*. This was a particular problem during the height of the Valerie Plame hubbub, where the Daily Show devoted a whole darn episode to the topic. The episode made a lot of good points, but outside of a silly Samantha Bee segment, I don't think it made me laugh once.

I was watching tonight's Daily Show. The guest was Bill O'Reilly. I was just wondering who else watched it, and if you thought O'Reilly seemed a bit drunk. I mean, he was practically picking fights with the audience.
