Triumph of the stoned slackers
October 8th, 2006 by Will
I know it’s not exactly new news that The Daily Show is big BIG time right now. But yet it still surprises me time and again when they do yet another thing that was just unimaginable all those years ago that I first started watching the show.
Like when the show started winning Emmy’s and Peabody’s.
Or when it started drawing guests like Bill Clinton.
Or John Edwards, who used it as a forum to officially announce his presidential candidacy.
Or John Kerry coming in at the height of the 2004 election.
Or when Jon Stewart hosted the Oscars.
Or Colbert giving the final address at the White House Press Correspondents dinner.
So what now?
How about the PRESIDENT OF PAKISTAN?
This just astounds me. A sitting leader of a nuclear power that is on mixed terms with the US (as noted in his answer to the Seat Of Heat question) sitting there chuckling at Jon Stewart’s jokes.I mean, it’s a good thing no doubt.
But… I don’t know. Wow?
