Behind the scenes with ‘The Daily Show’ at the DNC
Posted by: | CommentsThe Colbert Report got the spotlight during its shows in Philly, so it should come as no surprise that Jon Stewart gets the lion’s share of the attention now that The Daily Show is on the road for the conventions. Here’s a nice piece from THE USA Today:
Behind the convention’s ‘Daily’ grind with Jon Stewart
By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
DENVER — Forget Rock the Vote. Inside the Pepsi Center this week, the true rock stars are the correspondents of The Daily Show, besieged by politicos and press, posing for pictures and being filmed by fans as they film their fake news reports — or try to, anyway.
“If ever you’re going to get recognized and adulation, it’s going to be at the Democratic National Convention,” says Larry Wilmore, the “senior black correspondent” of Comedy Central’s satirical news team.
. . .
Seriously, y’all, even if you don’t have time to read the article (which you should), you should at least check out the photo gallery. There are some really great photos of Jon and the staff, plus some fun shots of the correspondents standing in front of their respective green screens during the taping of last night’s show.
Major tip of the hat to shamskygirl for the links!

More information about Stephen Colbert and Denver
Posted by: | CommentsWell, this explains a lot. You may remember that we mentioned a few weeks back that there was a possibility that Stephen Colbert might be coming to Denver. Well, the Denver Post has come out and said that “James Warlick, curator of the American Presidential Experience, said he is trying to draw in 20 authors for book signings. They include Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Carter and Jon Stewart. ”
Um, “trying to draw in” is quite a bit different than “scheduled”, kids. *headdesk* So, it looks like for now, it’s still a no-go for Stephen to appear in Denver.
