TV Buzz This was brilliant. Stephen Colbert surprised Jon Stewart at the end of tonight's “Daily Show” to demand back the Super PAC he gave Stewart control over while mulling a fake presidential bid. Stewart's refusal to honor Colbert's request led to an epic foot chase, culminating in… you know what? Just watch.
Music Buzz Why So Serious? Long before he hosted “The Daily Show” and changed his last name to Stewart, Jon Leibowitz attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. And judging by this newly unearthed photo—purportedly of Stewart at a 1982 Dead Kennedys concert in nearby Richmond—he wasn't afraid to join a mosh pit. (via Gawker)
TV Buzz “A moon base? Your solution to being accused of grandiosity is 'Give me eight years and I'll have a fucking moon base.'” Just hours after enduring a debate night beating from Mitt Romney over his idea for a permanent colony on the moon, Newt Gingrich received a similar smackdown from Jon Stewart on Thursday night's “Daily Show.”
Culture Buzz Tweets from the widely followed accounts that appeared on Sunday evening suggest a connection to Anonymous. Unfortunately, the hackers' tweets were far, far less interesting than the usual fare from either show.
Politics Buzz “Get your names right, Bill!” Stephen Colbert opened tonight's “Colbert Report” with a segment about the easy to get around “non-coordination” rules applying to Super PACs. Specifically, Colbert hit back at BuzzFeed — and editor-in-chief Ben Smith — for questioning the legality of his coordination with Jon Stewart, who took over the Super PAC Colbert created once he announced his possible run for “President of the United States of South Carolina.” Me-ow!
Politics Buzz Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are making a complete mockery of U.S. election law by stretching the limits of what can be considered “non-coordination” between presidential candidates and the Super PACs that back them. They're also making history.
Food Buzz The Daily Show host blows some of Stephen Colbert Super PAC's cash after deciphering clues candidate dropped during his television interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
TV Buzz “I'm sorry, ma'am, but we don't make a violin that small.” On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart skewered CNN “Early Start” anchors Ashleigh Banfield and Zoraida Sambolin for a horribly misguided, cringe-inducing segment called “Wake 'Em Up” in which they prank call random famous people at 5:00 AM. So this morning, Banfield did what any rational, able-to-take-a-joke person would and took it in stride. HAH JUST KIDDING. (h/t Mediaite)
TV Buzz Embarrassing doesn't even begin to describe this. CNN recently premiered “Early Start,” a morning show anchored by Ashleigh Banfield and Zoraida Sambolin. It features a segment called “Wake 'Em Up,” during which the ladies prank call a random famous person at five-something in the morning, because WHAT THE HELL? To see just how badly things went—twice!—check out this clip of Jon Stewart laying into Banfield and Sambolin on tonight's “Daily Show.” (via Mediaite)
Culture Buzz Ryan Gosling, Jude Law, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Matt Damon, Usher: a handful of these guys can still be classified as heartthrobs. Others, such as Carson Daly, Fred Durst, Sisqo, Brendan Fraser, and the like… perhaps not so much.

Please, please don’t do this. Stewart insists that while Republicans are craving another Ronald Reagan, Gingrich is more like if Reagan had been “abandoned as a child and raised by a family of cactuses.”
Celebrity Buzz Jon Stewart tried to hijack Jon Huntsman's Twitter Q&A by telling Daily Show fans to submit questions for Jon Hamm under the same hash tag. Here are but a few of the submissions about “Mad Men” and general dreaminess asked of the former Utah Governor and presidential hopeful.
Politics Buzz Herman Cain's Libya brain fart provides another hit of gaffe-crack for The Daily Show.
Donald Trump is angry at Jon Stewart for his “racist” rant about Herman Cain. Now setting aside Donald Trump's great history with the African-American community, do you think Stewart was being racist? (via gawker.com)
