#35 The Daily Show/Colbert Report
January 28, 2008 by clander
The Daily Show/Colbert makes up a duo that is held in such high regard by white people that to criticize it would be the equivalent of setting the pope on fire in Italy in 1822. It just isn’t done, in fact it isn’t even considered!
White people love to make fun of politics, especially right wing politics. It’s a pretty easy target and makes for some decent humor, but white people are actually starting to believe that these two shows are becoming legitimate news sources.
“Oh, I don’t watch the news,” they will say. “I watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. You know, studies show that viewers of those shows are more educated than people who watch Fox News or CNN.”
White women all consider John Stewart to be the most perfect man on the planet. This is not a debate, it is law.
The Daily Show also features guests like John McCain, writers, policy analysts, and actors. It is comforting for white people to see boring celebrities get interviewed in a funny fashion. It fills their need to do something productive, but also not work that hard at it.
Take note that Tuesday through Friday during the working week, you can break ALL awkward silences with white people by saying “did you see the Daily Show/Colbert Report last night?” At which point they will start talking until it’s time for you to move on to more interesting activities.

I agree completely about Jon Stewart (he’s the reason we get to watch the Colbert Report), but I love Steve Carrell!

I LOVE the Daily Show and the Colbert Report!
I’m black tho.
You’d have to be braindead not to notice how liberal they are. If u want unbiased politics watch C-span.
That being said, the information I got watching TDS and CR had me more prepared for discussion than most of the girls in my AP Gov class.
Also: I find Jon Stewart to be very attractive.
I think Colbert is dead-on as a satarist, and funny. Honestly though, even as a female, lol, Jon Stewart doesnt do it for me anymore. He seems to be turning into a cranky, jewish old man. And who the hell is that Black guy he has on his show? He looks and sounds like a poor man’s Penn from Penn&Teller, cept’ he’s a liberal. Never really found him particularly funny either. Jon Stewart surrounds himself with very funny people though and his show has been a great springboard for others. Props to him for that I guess. But his talent and ability to be naturally funny, are wearing thin now. Steve Carrell, as a film talent, doesnt really do it for me either. Guess he must be a guy thing.
