comedy for grown-ups
i've been TiVoing "The Daily Show" on comedy central again lately. i forgot just how funny the entire show is. mostly covering current events like politics, the papal election, and havard dorm-room cleaning (gotta see the show), jon stewart and his staff do a tremendous job. the guests they have on the show are always a good interview. the new reporters in the field they have are pretty funny, so the departure of steve carrell and beth littleford has not been too painful.
for those of you who have never watched it, give it a try for a week. new episodes are on comedy central at 11 PM sunday thru thursday, with repeats throughout the day.
DISCLAIMER: this is cable. grown-up comedy awaits, both because of off-color jokes and the fact that you have to actually read news somewhere in order to get the jokes.
DISCLAIMER 2: if you're not 18 yet (ren tukys, and other football players/students who read my blog), make sure you ask mommy and daddy if you can stay up past your bedtime and watch it. (HINT: if you promise to get in your jammies early, they are more likely to say yes.) :D

Coach Burke I’ll have you know that both me and Ren watch The Daily Show religiously. The episode on Monday, May 2nd was perhaps one of the most funny things I have ever watched on TV. Look forward to seeing you and running those gasers. Best prepare in the off-season.

(except stephen colbert’s piece about laura bush’s second show.) ;)
gas up!

I am a loyal watcher. Its the funniest 11 minutes of my day (TiVo + skip most of the boring book interviews).
My favorite part of the show is that they watch C-SPAN for you all day long and find the dumbest thing that any politican did that day and they just show it. And its hilarious. They don’t have to write material.
