Barack Obama to Do the Daily Show on Wednesday

As this election winds to a close, Barack Obama is ramping up, with an appearance on The Daily Show on Wednesday and a rumored appearance on SNL this weekend.

A major-party Presidential candidate doing The Daily Show just days before the election?

Dude, when Jon Stewart started out his silly little fake cable-news show, who would’ve thunk it? Amazing.

Above, find a clip of the last time Obama appeared on The Daily Show.

  • oh wow that’s a big compliment to jon

    i LOVE LOVE LOVE the daily show! and am so glad that finally it’s online so i can watch every episode

  • Hey I like the Daily Show too but no fair giving Jon Stewart credit for starting it. It was around way before he showed up. He just made it better.

  • silly little fake cable-news show????

    Is there a news show in the US that isn’t fake.

    There is not one show doing a good job, they are suposed to inform
    and let the people make up their own opinion,
    Not tell them what they have to think!

  • Beet! Jon Stewart didn’t “start” The Daily Show. He’s great and everything but give credit where credit is due! Craig Kilborn hosted it for two years, and it was created by Madeleine Smithberg and
    Lizz Winstead.

  • Jon Stewart didn’t start the Daily Show.. the original host was Craig Kilborn… back when it was just called “The Daily Show”. just FYI

    :)

  • jon stewart is way less funny than he used to be, especially with his tiring little gay boy giggle. obama should have gone on colbert, who can still make you roll on the floor laugh.

  • You mean when Jon Stewart took over the pre-existing silly little fake cable-news show from Craig Kilbourn?

  • plus, obama’s just doin’ this to try to get the jews on his side as everyone know that jon stewart is jewish. and it won’t work, because the jews know this guy is gonna take money out of their pockets and they ain’t about to let that shit happen. higher capital gains taxes, higher minimum wage, etc….no fucking way. plus, when they aren’t having to be all P.C. and shit the truth is they aren’t that keen on blacks, unless of course they can sign them to a record contract. my guess is there’s gonna be a tidal wave of jewish voters that have mccain surfing his lilly white ass into the white house. no jew in their right mind would vote for obama, unless there was something in it for them. and there ain’t.

  • How can anyone not love Obama after seeing this? He is obviously incredibly intelligent and a true leader. I like what he said about judgment versus experience. Someone who can make good decisions for the country is all I care about.

  • There isn’t one prejudice that you fail to exhibit, censorthis. I guess you are an equal opportunity bigot. And you obviously know nothing about the Jewish people and their history. So you just give your self a big old pat on your back. The Jewish people are one of the best educated and humanitarian groups in this country. And they have nothing to fear from Obama.

  • you’re right. i’ve actually never met a jewish person, that i know of. we don’t have them here in iceland, so i’m just basing it all on what we were taught in school as a child or the people that portray them on television like that archie bunker guy. i don’t really think jewish people have anything to fear from obama. at least not until he’s elected. but just in case maybe you should print your post so you can refer back to it someday when hiding in someones attic writing in your diary.

  • @censorthis

    Jews historically tend to vote Democrat, and, for the most part, they love Obama. He will sweep the Jewish vote easily. I love that you live in Iceland, and you have never met a Jewish person, and yet you think you have some idea as to what type of people American Jews are. You’re painfully misinformed, my dear.

  • Don’t trip, ThatLisa, I’m quite sure the reason why you don’t get the guy is ’cause he’s obviously full of shit. I’d be willing to wager large sums of cash betting that he doesn’t live in Iceland, so that’s a little online fake-personality/identity lie right there. People like this get off on riling up controversy on other people’s blogs and sites like this one, just for the “fun” they get out of all the feedback and attention they receive for the outrageously offensive shit they come up with to say. Fuck these kind of people, I say.
