Daily Show Highlights July 11th-14th

Those of you who were unable to catch the Daily Show this week or just don't have access to Comedy Central missed some great shows. Dem Bloggers, the usual source of our highlights, did not post any videos this week.

However, that doesn't mean no clips are available. Common Bits has many different Daily Show clips available - a number from this week, in fact, but you'll need a BitTorrent client such as Azeurus to download them.

The highlights from each day:

  • Thursday, July 14th, 2005: Jon Stewart looks at Harry Potter 6 and the hype surrounding the new book. Rob Cordrry has a hilarious report on security for the book in which he makes analogies to homeland security. Then Stewart interviews Michael Isikoff from Newsweek magazine.
  • Wednesday, July 13th, 2005: Jon Stewart looks at news networks' coverage of hurricanes. Steven Colbert reports from the "Hurricane News Tracker" Tracker in a hilarious segment. There's a lengthy interview with Bernard Goldberg, a conservative who wrote a book about the top 100 people who are supposedly screwing up America (and only three are conservatives).
  • Tuesday, July 12th, 2005: Stewart does a history of Plamegate and mocks Stonewallin' Scotty McClellan, who had a brutal press conference the day before. Crooks & Liars has full coverage, plus video.
  • Monday, July 11th, 2005: Jon Stewart plays catch up and shows off the new Daily Show. He discusses Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement plans and talks Rehnquist (whom we now know is planning to stay on).
You can always expect to see The Daily Show Highlights every Saturday here on the blog, except for weeks when the show is on hiatus.
