Politics Buzz Jon Stewart interviewed Blago last night and it was awkward, but not, like, Jim Cramer awkward. Quick summary: Blago thinks he's innocent.

A short but interesting discussion about why The Daily Show is generally loved by neo-conservatives. Might also explain why people see the Daily Show as one of the most trusted news shows.
Honestly, forget The Daily Show. This is how I'm getting my political news from now on. Here's #7 in the Auto-Tune the News series and they just keep getting better. This week? “Turning LOLs into OMGs.”

TV Buzz The media is all revved up to see how The Daily Show (and political comedy in general) will thrive in the era of Obama, a president who, unlike Bush, is shaping up to not be an a-hole and single-handedly destroy the country. If all were right in the world, Dubya would get his own segment on The Daily Show, letting us see how funny the guy can be when not, you know, controlling the fate of the free world.

Because a full half-hour infomercial wasn’t quite enough, Barack Obama also made a guest appearance on last night’s Daily Show. Though he generally doesn’t believe in the Bradley effect, he has been going to therapy to make sure his white half doesn’t mess it up in the voting booth.
Politics Buzz It’s been over a year since his last appearance on the Daily Show, but tomorrow night Barack Obama will be back in the comforts of John Stewart’s warm embrace. This will undoubtedly make far better TV than the last three presidential debates combined. For starters, that grumpy old guy won’t be around to ruin the fun with his incessant blinking.
TV Buzz The Daily Show’s fake blowhards and real-life husband and wife have signed with CBS to star in a sitcom based on Jones’s celebrity chef character and his associate, played by Bee. Here’s to hoping they follow in the footsteps of Steve Carell and Ed Helms instead of Rob Corddry (who is still hilarious, despite being given some awful material).
TV Buzz In the age of Obama, Comedy Central is [finally] trying to capture an African-American audience in this sketch show disguised as a newsmagzine set to air before The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (not bad). Rumor has it that Tyler Perry had to be “forcibly removed” from the set when he learned that his name wasn’t attached to the project. Thank goodness too, because we’ll take Grier’s Maya Angelou over towering nightmare Madea any day. (Also, I made up that rumor.)
Yes, it’s what The Daily Show is known best for: recognizing hypocritical blowhards in politics. But this clip, in which Jon Stewart so effortlessly lambasts right-wing luminaries Karl Rove and Bill O’Reilly as they bemoan the alleged sexism being faced by Sarah Palin, is a must-see. And to think: it’s very likely the interns sifting through endless footage at The Daily Show who are quietly rocking the political stratosphere. Go get ‘em, kids.
