Regis Philbin hosts the hottest game show of 1999, so in the year 2000 Jon Stewart finally gets to play. Will Jon score the million for his worthy charity?

DECEMBER 29, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! With a president selected and Jon gearing up for vacation, the Daily Show finally settles in for a final week full of holiday cheer. With five stockings hung by the fireplace with care (also included: one menorah!), Steve Carell is haunted by an old wartime flame, Vance buys his friends porn, and Jon breaks Stephen's arm to show how violence is wrong. Happy Holidays to all, and to all a good elephant butt to the face.

DECEMBER 27, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! In a massive week for America, The Daily Show accepts its fate – George W. Bush will be the 43rd POTUS. To suit the occasion, there are a number of iconic pieces popping up – a saga is completed as Colbert delivers his The Man Who Would Be Boy King speech to great applause. Justice Kennedy's brain is deemed too close to call, The Daily Show with Steve Carell is canonized, and Ira Glass declares Jon the journalist of the moment (whaaaaat?)

DECEMBER 26, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! The Freaky Zone has failed us delivering one of the worst weeks of the year at such an important moment. Carell has a stinky vagina, Mo busts out Fake News, and we cover the man with the longest fingernails. Also, Lewis Black goes to jail – which is strange.

2017 was the most remarkable year in history, until 2018. In these 12 months comedy was re-defined in the Trump age. Political satire of quality was never more available and the pull of escapism was never stronger in film and TV. Scandal wrecked the lives of marquee names in the entertainment business, and another few legends departed to that great gig in the sky. For a moment we had two best pictures, and not nearly enough szechuan sauce. We break down every moment that might make you chuckle with funny man Miguel Sanchez for 2017: A Year In Comedy. Originally recorded December 30, 2017. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

DECEMBER 15, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! In a crazy twist - Steve Carell is somehow more the president than either Bush or Gore, simply because he declared it. Yet between the canned interviews and the returns of Lord Viper Scorpion, Andy Kindler, and Meeve Quarrel – there's a lot to hate. Jon was felt up by Al Gore? Lewis Black talking robits?! The Wrinkling of America!!? It's sink or swim for the Freaky Zone… and right now we're going down.

DECEMBER 14, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It's what everybody is talking about – Little Nicky Week! Just kidding, there was that whole "not having a president still" things too. As Adam Sandler pops by to hock his wares, Indecision improbably continues with Dirty Chads, FL lawyers, Fox News and The Sunshine Wait. While we do get gold as Colbert and Carell swamp scripts as political hacks, Jon also interviews a VHS tape, Vance investigates a shit stick, and Mo Rocca watches Turkeys fuck… oh boy.

Scott White, poster boy for seasonal depression, comes into Vic's Holiday Time Cheer Bunker to spread grievances of the most joyous time of year. There's gripes with parking problems, bad gifts and getting too fat. But, Scott also shares his ritual Christmas Movies and Vic spouts out a few terrific TV episodes to catch. Originally record December 3, 2017. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

DECEMBER 5, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It all leads up to this – election day 2000! As Colbert beats into your head DON'T VOTE, the bland face-off of Bush v Gore comes to a head… and history is made. In an live hour long, Jon juggles full team coverage, Charles Doty, Bob Dole and a Florida too close to call. As the night closes out, a stalemate awaits – culminating in the best episodes of the show yet. There's shirt sweat, baby's first steps, bleary eyed frustration and a theme song. But for a year that started in the Sunshine State with Elian Gonzalez, it's only fitting it returns to the spotlight for the biggest clusterfuck in electoral history – welcome, to the Freaky Zone. Senator Arlen Specter, Bob Dole, Richard Belzer and Michael Moore guest.

With the election but a week away, Jon Stewart's future Peabody-winning satire series is pulling out all the stops – we've got white hot pieces on clowns, the Olympics and the Fashion Bug. Seriously.
