The break week is a perfect time to see what’s up with the folks over at the Daily Show! The interview with Wyatt is pretty decent replacement for an evening of Daily Show viewing, or you might be able to plan an opportunity to see one of the correspondents live.
Wyatt Cenac (Correspondent, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart)
- Wyatt was the guest on episode 23 of the podcast WTF with Marc Maron. It’s available for download from that site, and also on iTunes. His interview begins during the 17th minute and continues for almost a half hour. Wyatt is so excellent at telling stories, and he also has some great analyses of television. It’s a very long interview, but you won’t want it to end, because there are tons of insights and silly moments. It has my recommendation!
- There’s also an upcoming opportunity to see Wyatt performing live at Penn State, as a part of the College Humor Live tour. It’s December 5, 10:00 PM, at the Paul Robeson Cultural Center’s Heritage Hall. It’s also free of charge. You can read the student newspaper’s article for further information here. It seems like it could be aimed toward a very specific audience, and me telling you I’d go if I were able isn’t a great endorsement, and I’m a real life college student myself.
John Oliver (Correspondent, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart)
- John will be appearing, as part of an excellent comedy line-up, in the show “Tell Your Friends! We’ll Kick Cancer’s Butt!” 8:00 PM, December 8, at Comix. There is a Facebook page for the event here and you can buy tickets at the Comix website. Another familiar Daily Show personality Kristen Schaal is also part of the show. It sounds like great fun, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is unfortunately ever a worthy cause.
John Hodgman (Contributor, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart)
- The San Francisco website 7×7 has a very cool interview with John that coincided with his appearance there earlier this month. He discusses Twitter, meeting fans, and has some pretty amusing responses to other questions. (h/t wren)
Samantha Bee (Correspondent, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart)
- Around the time Sam was appearing on the It’s Satire! panel in Connecticut, The Hartford Courant had an article about her Daily Show work. It includes plenty of quotes from Sam, many of which focus on her part in field pieces and interviews for The Daily Show.
Amy Sedaris (Bonus person, because she’s cool!)
- Amy will be guest-starring on the CBS show The New Adventures of Old Christine on December 9. She will play a woman who Christine treated poorly when they were in junior high. I’ve never watched Old Christine, but I’m so curious I might jump in for an episode to see Amy.
I really love the work Wyatt is doing on TDS — he’s really coming into his own on the show and I’m so appreciative of the Podcast you posted. Thank you, Tiger!

I’ve become a big fan of Wyatt as well. I really love that they list him in the credits as one of the writers, which means he writes for the whole show and not just his own segments. Even though it’s hard to pick a fave correspondent on TDS, Wyatt and John Oliver are definitely at the top of my list :).
