Hail Satire! with Vic Shuttee

SEPTEMBER 27, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! After a year and a half of bliss, it finally had to happen to Jon Stewart's Daily Show: Our First Major Departure. Beth Littleford had been with the show longer than Jon, since 1996 under Craig Kilborn's watch, she became the unofficial Queen of the Correspondents, racking up over 150 appearances under two very different hosts. With Beth's sign-off, we also begins something of a new tradition – the Good-Bye episode, an art of closure Jon and company get very good at. As we endure the final bETh, we also get a peek at the Kilborn years like never before, with a piece from Nov '96. Tracey Ullman, Kyle MacLachlan, Jane Leeves, and Michael Rapaport guest, and in 2017, we talk about the premire of The Opposition with Jordan Klpepper, the new SNL featured players and the Jimmy Kimmel effect on Health Care.

Long have we been cowering the dark, but now we see the light… the Rich Brown era of terra is coming to a decisive end. But that wiley trickster still has some havoc to raise, even as we begin the great pivot toward our big bad in Gov. George W. Bush. As John McCain demurs, Jon Stewart rallies! Frank Decaro delivers another great Film Review, Andy Richter is nearly poached by a very jealous Jonny and the confounding debut of new Daily Show regular Tom Johnson! Wendie Malick, Jesse L.

In his sneakiest move to date, Rich Brown strikes back – merging our favorite part of TDS2000 (Mr. Steve Carell) with the unholiest of unholy traditions (THE RACIST DAILY SHOW TRANSLATOR), and our dismay shows no end. Thankfully, there are bright spots as Steve Carell goes undercover as a Pizzaboy, Mo Rocca el talkos to Hispanics, and THE AMAZING RETURN OF DAVE BLOG. S. Epatha Merkerson, Luke Wilson, Julie Warner, and Eric Close guest, and we learn that Jon's name is Elian Stewart. Oh boy.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As more political guests begin to join Jon on the couch, the era of Just Barely Television continues to be shaped, this time by Senator Arlen Spector, who offers the prophetic slogan "On a serious note, if this show can sustain one." There's an oddball PBS Pledge Drive parody, an all-hands-on-deck Good Morning AM Daily and seemingly never-ending battle over some stellar footage of an elephant seal. Samantha Mathis, and Diamond Dallas Page guest, while Vic and Chandler debate whether to name their time-traveling Delorean after special guest Stanley Tucci. Tweet your vote!

It's new graphics week on the Daily Show, as Jon finally tosses Craig Kilborn's rusting "Headlines" bumpers.
