Is there anything more amusing than the Daily Show? How about the Daily Show one day later?
This is when I usually watch it, on the couch, scarfing down some food after a long day at the office and a damnable commute home. It really is the perfect antidote for what ails you.
That being said, it's rare for a Daily Show episode to be perfect from beginning to end. There are usually a few clunkers along the way - a flubbed line, a boring correspondent's piece, an annoying guest. Tonight's episode (and by that, I mean last night's episode) started strong on some strong "tossing the salad" spinach scare jokes, moved into a not-so-funny correspondent's piece on the Pope's insensitive comments, and ended with Mr. Ben Affleck.
You may disagree, but the most compelling thing tonight was the Affleck interview. He's a funny dude that just happened to get caught up in some bad plubicity. I'll go see Hollywoodland (if I ever have enough time, money and patience to actually get to the movies).
Also watched the beginning of Colbert. More funny shit. It's definitely hitting its stride and I don't think I can even do it justice with comments. Especially since mainstream media has this one covered right now. Just watch it.
