Lately, I have been spending my boring sleepless summer evenings watching old clips from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Now, I used to watch The Daily Show with my dad during the summer back in the day when my mom still allowed political satire in her house, however I didn't watch it religiously. Even though I remember key moments such as Jon's first day back after 9/11 and the Evan Stephvan segments, I still missed a lot. In my digging, I have found a wealth of classic clips that I felt like sharing with others, if just to make someone laugh. Thus, here is the first installment of
Classic Moments in The Daily Show/The Colbert Report History! (Say that in the voice of Jon or Colbert, that's how my mind wrote it.)
Backstory: Once a week (sometimes more), before the Moment of Zen at the end of that night's The Daily Show, Jon will toss it to Stephen Colbert at the Colbert Report. This bit is slightly prerehearsed, in that they test the connection and chat about what they want to say before going live with it. Since I love to see them crack up and Stephen fall out of character, this was the best toss ever:
