‘The Daily Show’ gearing up for the RNC

I really, really love these guys.

Welcome, Rich White Oligarchs!

Tip of the hat to east-lake.net for posting the photo of this billboard (located at 494 and 77, to greet the Convention visitors).

Here’s hoping that the Twin Cities prove as rich a comedic vein as did New York City in 2004.

      I know, right?! I’m sure it was just a timing thing, but … bummer for Wyatt.

        Yeah we need to see Wyatt at the DNC. Isn’t he part of the Best F***ing News Team? How can they leave him out. I need my Dimitri too.

        This is gonna ROCK HARD!!!!!

        I agree about missing Stewart and Colbert this week. Atleast we can try to survive on reruns. I can go a week without Stewart and be ok. But no new Colbert Report is like a week without laughter. Painull.

          He is part of the Best F***ing News Team but only part of some of the footage – they must have made all the this stuff ages. Always good to be prepared :) So I’m sure he’ll be at the RNC and the DNC.

        i was a little wary of wyatt after his first show, but since then he’s won me over. he’s awesome, but unfortunately the photoshoot for this billboard must’ve happened way before he arrived on the scene. can’t they paste a sticker of him onto the board or something?

      I agree! Where’s Wyatt! I love that recent segment that he did in Florida at the senior citizen home.

    I’m counting the minutes until next Tuesday. And we haven’t seen much of Aasif or Demetri lately — I hope we get to see them do some, umm, err, “reporting” from the convention.

    This is great! Like Lisa, I’m counting the minutes until next Tuesday. I’ve missed Jon and Stephen so much this week and I’m excited about TDS’ upcoming convention coverage.

    The election coverage should be a hoot – here’s hoping that TCR ups their game to match the energy of TDS during the conventions.

    So excited!

    But how come it says ‘weeknights at 10′, instead of 11 pm?

    LOL, “Welcome, Rich White Oligarchs!” They’re really in-your-face about it, aren’t they? I love it.

    such wonderful displays are a danger! I for one would be like WOAH LOOK AT THAT and considerations like the location of my car relative to the cars around me, they would totally fall to the wayside!!

    I too was disappointed by the lack of Wyatt–I think he’s great!

    Fortunately, I didn’t have an accident the first time I saw that billboard! It’s in a prominent spot near the airport, and a lovely site to see.

    Best. Billboard. Ever.

    Although they did one in LA last year, or the year before for their Emmy runup. Something like “Doing Fake News Before Katie Couric”, with a serious picture of Jon.

    TDS absolutely rocks, as does the Best F**** News Team.

    I love it! I hear they have a Daily Show billboard outside TDS studio gives directions to the Hustler club down the street. I love that they apply their brand of humor to everything, including their advertising. Thanks for posting the picture!
