    Huckabee Hits Daily Show Audience With Crap About Abortion, Slavery

    Mike "Huckles" Huckabee made his second appearance on The Daily Show last night, holding Jon Stewart to his promise that he'd allow Huckabee to pick the topic. Huckabee chose abortion; Stewart broke out the booze. More »

    Jon Stewart To Mike Huckabee: "At What Point Did You Choose Not To Be Gay?"

    One of the best things about the Daily Show is that Jon Stewart can engage an opponent respectfully and logically without devolving into shouty crackers. Last night, he took Mike Huckabee to task for being against gay marriage. (Reminder: today is Day Without A Gay, when gay workers are encouraged to "call in gay.") Stewart poked holes in Huckabee's rhetoric, arguing that marriage has been constantly redefined in the past 5,000 years. "You write that marriage is the bedrock of our society. Why would you not want more couples to buy into the stability of marriage?" Stewart asked. Huckabee's argument comes down to his conviction that homosexuality is a choice, to which Stewart responded, "I think it's the difference between what you believe gay people are and what I do…I'll tell you this: religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality."

    Arianna Huffington: Blogging Is Like STDs, But More Fun

    Huffington Post ringleader Arianna Huffington was on the Daily Show last night promoting the book on blogging — The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging — that she made her editorial staff write. As Gawker noted, she called for more writers to blog the economic crisis for HuffPo (though she leaves out the part about how she doesn't pay her bloggers), and she also says that that trick to blogging is to "blog your secret passions." Ari's secret love? Cheese. Jon is not particularly impressed by this revelation, and asks, "You're fucking with me about the cheese thing, right?" Clip above.

    Jon Stewart Says Hide Your Poultry: Palin's Back In Town

    "She's aliiiiiive!" Jon Stewart yelps at footage of Sarah Palin in the lower 48. As previously noted, Palin was in Georgia earlier this week, helping to get Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss reelected in a runoff. Jon refers to Sarah as the "GOP's BFD" and adds that Palin apparently "loves everything in Alaska but being there." Unfortunately, Democrat Jim Martin's biggest celebrity supporter was Ludacris, and somehow the man who wrote the lyrics, "Can't turn a ho into a housewife/ Hos don't act right," was not as effective as a couple of well-placed "You betchas": Chambliss won reelection by a wide margin.

    It turns out that it's not just us who miss Sarah Palin's presence on the national stage. She's reportedly fielding interview requests from Oprah, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Barbara Walters and George Stephanopoulos, in addition to calls from talent agents. So far, she's got 800 requests for appearances (just through 2009) and a total of 200 media interview requests. So if you were worried she'd just go back to Alaska and work out that budget crisis, worry no more: She'll be back quicker than Alaska's endangered polar bears. [Associated Press]

    Al Franken In A Skimpy Suit: Prettier Than Palin?

    People gave Sarah Palin a lot of crap for her pageant past, but she's not the only candidate for political office to strut her stuff in a skimpy swimsuit. Behold! Al Franken! The Daily Show found some 70s footage of the potential Minnesota Senator (whose race is still undecided) doing the catwalk in a Speedo and sash. Jon Stewart introduces Franken's pageant turn by saying Franken is "seen here endangering his future political career," but we beg to differ. This could seriously up Franken's support among Chippendales' patrons. Clip above.

    Daily Show: Bill O'Reilly Will Not Be Placated By Mr. Snuggles

    Fox News chief bloviator Bill O'Reilly went deep into enemy territory last night by appearing on the Daily Show. Jon Stewart wanted to make sure Bill felt safe, and so he proffered a stuffed bear named Mr. Snuggles and some cocoa. O'Reilly argued that America is traditionally a conservative, right-center country, but Jon begged to differ. "The progression of individual freedoms, that's the tradition of America. The tradition would say the next step is gay marriage," he explained. To which Bill responded, "That's your Greenwich Village opinion." Even more appalling is the fact that O'Reilly thought Mr. Snuggles was a panda. That bear is white! But I guess it's not surprising that Bill ignores bear identity politics. Clip above.

  • women in comedy

    We have one question for our beloved Jon Stewart: where are all the bitches at? The New York Comedy Festival hosted a Daily Show panel Friday with ten panelists, none of whom were female. "Steve Bodow, the head writer, said the panel was not a good representation of the hundred or so people who work on 'The Daily Show.' Many of the producers and the editors are women, even if the writers themselves at this point are all men. The show’s sole female writer, Rachel Axler, just left for California to work on a spinoff of NBC’s “The Office,” Mr. Bodow said. And Allison Silverman, who had been a writer on 'The Daily Show' for many years, is an executive producer of “The Colbert Report.” [NY Times]

    Daily Show: Sarah Palin's So Dumb She Thinks The Alphabet Has 22 Letters

    Ever since John McCain stepped off the podium following his concession speech, various campaign workers have been coming out of the woodwork to hate on Sarah Palin. We've heard the stories by now: Sarah doesn't know Africa is a continent, she couldn't name the countries in North America, she uses the blood of unborn polar bears as an anti-aging serum. Ok, maybe not that last one, but she is getting a drubbing, and Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac adds to the "Sarah Palin is so dumb" chorus with yo mama style rhetoric. "She's so dumb, she thinks the capital of China is Chinatown!" Wyatt says. Clip above. More »

    Daily Show: John Oliver Sniffs Out "The Road To The Doghouse"

    Now that Obama's been elected, we can turn our attention to an even more serious contest: the one for White House pooch. How can we be sure the potential first dog will be resistant to the aggressive Milk Bone lobby? What if they really are palling around with terriers? The Daily Show's John Oliver is on the case, investigating puppy aspirants like Mr. Jingles, who is running on a staunchly "pro-biscuit, anti-barf platform." And unlike a certain Vice Presidential candidate, all of these animals have been thoroughly "Vetted." Heh. Clip above! More »

    Daily Show: Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin Talks Harlots And Hermaphrodites

    Many people have stressed the historical importance of today's election so Jon Stewart decided to discuss Obama and McCain with an actual historian: the Pulitzer Prize winning Doris Kearns Goodwin. Goodwin discussed the negative political slogans of yesteryear, and remarked that McCain's smears are "No where near as dirty as the old campaigns." Apparently Jefferson's opponents claimed that if he won, rape and incest would be taught in schools. Not that Jefferson was so squeaky clean himself: he said John Adams was a "howling hermaphrodite." The worst was reserved for Grover Cleveland, who fathered an illegitimate child. According to Goodwin, people said, "women beware; he's going to have harlots at the White House." To which Jon replied, "Didn't Clinton run on that platform?" Clip above. More »

    Christian Conservative Community Organizer: Voting And Organizing For Obama

    Last night, Daily Show correspondent John Oliver sat down with several community organizers. He also talked to one bonkers anti-community organizing yahoo named Matthew Vadum, who said, "community organizers use crack cocaine in exchange for votes." But enough about that, and onto Liz Shaw, an Ohio organizer who identifies as a conservative Christian and often votes Republican. She deals with hunger issues in her community and helps people conserve and grow their own food. Shaw was so irate at Palin and Giuliani's denigrating community organizers that she decided, "I'm not only going to vote for Obama, I'm going to organize for Obama." Also awesome: the look on ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis's face when John Oliver asks her where the crack is. Clip above. More »

    There's A Reason The Name Tucker Rhymes With…

    The other day I came across an article from GQ about the coaching of Sarah Palin. In the moments after Palin was chosen by the McCain ticket, a team of handlers, led by strategist Tucker Eskew, was called in to prep her for her debut. But the thing is, Eskew was also part of the South Carolina team behind the racist smears made against McCain in 2000. Then I remembered the recent Campbell Brown fracas with McCain talking head Tucker Bounds, and thought about noted bow tie enthusiast Tucker Carlson (pictured) and it hit me: all dudes named Tucker are entitled jerkwads!

    Barack And Jon Joke About Socialism And Sean Hannity

    In concert with last night's infomercial designed to appeal to independents, Barack Obama decided to throw a bone to his base by appearing on the Daily Show. And it was admittedly adorable: maybe it's the semi-comfortable lead he has on McCain, but Obama seemed really at ease in his own skin. He even joshed about his mixed-race background and threw a zinger at Sean Hannity fans. He also said some incredibly gracious things about John McCain, but we decided to leave those out of the above clip to preserve the funny.

    John McCain Puts Women's Health Where It Belongs: In Derisive Air Quotes!

    On last night's Daily Show, Sam Bee took on John McCain's use of air quotes — or, in the parlance of Jon Stewart, "dick fingers" — when talking about women's health at the final presidential debate. We're all just looking for a golden ticket to the abortion factory, dontcha know! And as Bee says, we're willing to go to extreme measures to get there: severe uterine infections, dying, etc. etc. If McCain had a baby growing in his penis as a result of a rape, Bee argues, "he would want it publicly discussed at the same level of abstraction, without concern for his specific 'life' or 'penis.'" She adds, "People can disagree about abortion, but still agree about the unimportance of women's health." Oy. Clip above.

    Jon Stewart Asks CNN's Campbell Brown, "What IS Your Bias Against Bull?"

    We've been fangirls of Campbell Brown since she accused the McCain campaign of sexism for treating Palin like a "delicate flower," and we heartily enjoyed her appearance last night on the Daily Show. Brown talked about her show, No Bias, No Bull, being pregnant with baby number 2, and her throwdown with McCain spokesman/Megan's hate-fuck fantasy Tucker Bounds. If you'll recall, after Brown's confrontational interview with Bounds, McCain canceled an appearance with her CNN colleague Larry King as punishment. Bounds wasn't answering Brown's questions, and Brown was incensed. "It's a waste of my time, it's a waste of the audience's time, and I just don't want to hear it." Preach!

You see, just like Governor Palin, Nancy is trying to separate the "real America" from the rest of us brie-eatin' baby-killin' Satanists.

    Michelle Obama On The Daily Show: "I'm Not Soft On Barack"

    The first half Jon Stewart's interview with Michelle Obama last night was anything but relaxed. Jon asked Michelle about Bill Ayers, and she was adamant about sticking to the more pertinent economic issues. Michelle said she no longer reads newspapers because she wants to focus, and when Jon made a Sarah Palin-not-reading joke, Michelle barely cracked a smile. Of course, we can't even imagine what tremendous pressure she's under, so it's not Michelle's fault that she doesn't seem happy-go-lucky. However, in the second half of the interview, Michelle seemed much more at ease, and she spoke about her relationship with Barack. Jon observed that Michelle seems to look Barack objectively, so that she can give him advice as if she were an average voter. "If I don't believe you, I'm not voting for you buddy!" she joshed.

    Sarah Vowell Slams Republicans For Being Frenemies With New York City

    NPR darling and essayist Sarah Vowell was on the Daily Show last night and the Oklahoma-born Montana State grad had a bone to pick with Republicans who have been ragging on New York City. Palin et. al. pay lip service to New York's bravery in 9/11 and then call us "elite" and unpatriotic behind our backs. Underminers! "They wrap themselves in our attack and then they leave and talk about what snobs we are," Vowell complained to Jon Stewart. And then she said maybe the most awesome thing I've ever heard on the Daily Show: "If the East Coast Is American enough For Al-Qaeda, It should be American enough for them." Preach! Clip above.

    Congress Explains Economic Woes With All The Depth Of A Chris Farley Movie

    Oh, Jon. You're always there for us during a time of crisis to make lemonade out of life's fiscal lemons! And like that marginally coherent lemon metaphor I just used, Congressmen from both sides of the aisle are making cheesy, nonsensical comparisons when discussing the financial crisis. In the Daily Show clip above, they liken the country's financial woes to cowpies, undertows, bartenders and traffic. Stewart compares their rambling to Chris Farley's sales pitch in Tommy Boy, and the similarity is so apt you don't know whether to laugh or barf. I can't wait for the Spade/Ferrell ticket in 2012!

    Peggy Noonan Waxes Hypocritical On The Daily Show

    Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan went on the Daily Show last night to complain about "professional political operatives" who "manipulate" the electorate. Oh, you mean like that time you wrote a column about how "brilliant" and "transformative" Sarah Palin was and then later that day were caught on air saying that Palin was unqualified and choosing her was "bullshit"? Also: Jon gets adorably angry about Republicans bashing New York City constantly. Probably because he's just a biased "Upper West Sider." Clip above. More »

    The Daily Show Kibbitzes With Jewish Grandmas In Florida

    Happy New Year, fellow Heebs! Last night, Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenak ran footage of his trip to Florida to watch last Friday's Presidential debate with a bunch of elderly Jews. It was awkwardly funny, especially when one dark haired lady who kept screeching, "I watch Fox News! It's fair and balanced!" got shot down by the other biddies in the room. What's not so hilarious, except maybe in a cringing way, is the casual racism displayed, especially by the one woman who says Michelle Obama is built like "a horse" because black women have "big tuchuses." You'll want to bury your head in your arms just like Jon Stewart does. Clip above.

    The Daily Show: Bill Clinton Defends His Obama Love (Or Lack Thereof)

    Many people — including a very vocal Chris Rock on Monday night's Letterman — believe that the Clintons, especially Bill, have not been enthusiastic enough in their support of Obama. Last night Slick Willy himself went on The Daily Show and defended himself to Jon Stewart. Jon has this tendency to be a leeetle starstruck when the big guns come on the show, and perhaps he didn't press Clinton hard enough on the issue. However, Bill said, "Hillary has already done more for Obama than the Democratic runners up in the last 40 years combined." True, false, or exaggeration? Clip above. More »
