Since the Writers’ Strike is preventing me from watching new great episodes of The Daily Show, I was challenged by my buddy Rala to write my own episode of The Daily Show. I suspect Jon and the crew will implement this post haste and cobble together something by… say… Wednesday? Not so much?
Opening segment – rip on Tina Fey for supporting the writers … something like “She looked hotter in glasses” [move to camera 2] Go into the top news story from the Sunday political shows. Bring in John Oliver or Asif Mandvi as a satirical expert. Really – with politics – the jokes write themselves.
Second segment – Flashback segment to The Daily Show from:
Conclude with a brief follow up on those stories: The reinvigorated Democrats still have no balls, John McCain is missing and anyone who’s seen him should call the authorities, and the band Anthrax never changed their name but the War in Iraq did – several times.
Final segment – Guest Tina Fey. Have glasses in gift box on table. Have her talk about SNL and 30 Rock, the strike, and what she really thought of Cleveland. And tell her she’s hot again.
Crosstalk with Colbert – shows empty studio.
Moment of Zen – latest Hillary Clinton faux pas.
How’s that for comedy? Lowest rated show ever? Perhaps.
Popularity: 1% [?]
I think it looks like a HIGHLY entertaining show. But then, I’d watch anything you put together, even if it is mostly a clip show!
P.S. Tina Fey is always hot… just super-hotter w/ glasses…
