Daily Show Toss Recap – week of 3/15/10

Before we go, let’s check in with our good friend Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report…

Salutations, Zoners and fellow Toss fans! Jon and Stephen threw us a bone this week before going into the break. As Colbaby put it so elegantly in the comments: “The all too rare and elusive toss. It’s like when you reach into your coat pocket and find money there: it doesn’t happen often but when it does, it’s exciting.” That is my philosophy exactly, Colbaby! Let’s have a look at the Toss this week:

Daily/Colbert – Passover Parade: Jon is excited for the Passover parade where everyone drinks Manischewitz, gets in a line and marches.

I find this Toss appealing because it feels like they winged the whole thing, or if there was a script it was ditched early on. It’s just Jon & Stephen BS’ing. The Irish vs. Jewish subject is always a gold mine for zingers between the two boys. Stephen is a tease — “I’ll miss you,” he tells Jon unabashedly, and then a moment later he’s confessing that he has his assistant take all of Jon’s calls.

I always feel a little relieved when we get a Toss just before a break; it tides me over. What did everyone else think of this week’s Toss?

    I thought the toss was lovely and I like to think of Jon calling Stephen just to catch up….they are the cutest! :)

    I loved the toss. I always have the strange feeling during most tosses, that they don’t see each other too often, like they themselves look forward to it the most, probably just my imagination :)

    I love every toss they do. I would be happy just watching an episode consisting only of tosses.

    Good toss. I think they really do miss each other as much as we do in between tosses!

    I loved this Toss – it was adorable the way Stephen shook his head at Jon. I always get giddy every time they do a Toss; it’s just nice to see them together on screen for any period of time, really.

    Thanks for putting this up nerdygirl – I missed the beginning of it the other night.

    This was the best toss in ages! Okay they don’t have a lot anymore still – it was so funny and did seem to be almost totally winged. That last part about Stephen’s assistant talking to Jon was a cute cap on the thing.

    I would love a DVD of tosses! I know they teased about doing that once a long time ago.

    Loved that Toss. Always love when they bring up the Jewish/Irish references. Or bash each other through it, it’s hilarious. Love the interaction, love the Tosses! :D

    Was he talking to the audience or to Jon when he said it? What led up to him making that comment?

    It just seems very strange that they would do away with something so popular.

    I’m gonna go home and hide for a while. Maybe take my wife to dinner.
