  • inactive, on 02/24/2009, -1/+39Hugh Jackman can do it better.
  • Feep, on 02/24/2009, -2/+21I always wondered why my dick doesn't rotate. Now I know it's because I'm from the equator.
  • penguinofspades, on 02/25/2009, -0/+19doesn't mean much coming from the guy posting in all caps on digg...
  • Lavarock, on 02/24/2009, -7/+25Was Assef in slumdog?
    Probably. I think they were all in it.
  • davidg11, on 02/25/2009, -1/+16Really?

    Then you apparently a newbie who never watches this show.

  • drunknmunky1, on 02/25/2009, -1/+13Canadian Mirror: http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/the-daily-show-wi ...

    Jon Oliver comes on just before 6:00
  • Zcrubby, on 02/24/2009, -4/+14Aww, poor Jon..
  • grimlenn, on 02/25/2009, -0/+9*except for Hugh Jackman, of course.
  • Syphex, on 02/25/2009, -0/+7Such a full life you clicked on a story about it, in order to tell everyone you have a life (in all caps no less)!
  • kommit99, on 02/25/2009, -6/+11Man can Jon take a Joke or what !!! They don't come better than Jon
  • goatworship, on 02/25/2009, -1/+6It never ceases to amaze me that people can't detect sarcasm without it being implicitly stated, which ruins the whole point. /s

    Did you really think that pjpark (or anybody else on this planet for that matter) wasn't aware that Obama is the current president of the United States?
  • fancywares319, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5i think there's a good website showing how a dick should rotate...try meatspin.com
  • ctabone, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Turn your monitor on first.
  • sleeknerve, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4yesterdays show was actually really funny, but whatever.
  • grimlenn, on 02/25/2009, -1/+5Well, maybe not him directly.. But all those assorted clips of the media and/or the president doing something stupid are always funny.
  • davidg11, on 02/25/2009, -4/+8Boy is that Hugh Jackman talented or what?

  • stisaac, on 02/25/2009, -2/+5Oh right, I remember that. It was in the video I just watched.
  • nogayskthx, on 02/25/2009, -1/+3no your wrong.
    other than ill people and children, i don't think you could find someone in the states that doesn't know Obama is president.
  • filthysize, on 02/26/2009, -0/+2John Oliver = Best Daily Show correspondent since Colbert's leave.
  • adeelarshad82, on 02/25/2009, -1/+3this was hilarious. john's a great entertainer.
  • inactive, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1Um... ok.
  • ThsGuyRightHere, on 02/26/2009, -0/+1Psst... Jon Stewart has made fun of Obama.
  • goatworship, on 02/25/2009, -2/+3Screw John Stewart. (if hugh jackman isn't available.)
  • davidg11, on 02/25/2009, -2/+3Brother?

    You the British guy from LOST?

  • qwer777, on 02/25/2009, -1/+2anyone have a mirror? im just getting a black box where the video should be.
  • namezod, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1pedo bear can do it better.
  • Risingashes, on 02/25/2009, -1/+1I loved the part when the audience 'oooo'ed when Oliver called Jon the Bush of comedy- like it was the greatest insult that could ever be uttered.

    It's funny cause it's true.
  • silent128, on 02/25/2009, -2/+2lol i love the YOUR wrong comment. How do you know, have you spoken to every person in the US? Please don't make blanket assumptions and think that you can ever claim you are correct. Also you assume he is even from the US.
  • Altair27, on 02/24/2009, -8/+8I actually tried to watch the Oscars back when I heard Jon was hosting them.

    This year, when I found out it wasn't him, I just read the results afterward and saved myself a few hours of commercials, fancy clothes, and people thanking their parents.
  • bonerfide, on 02/25/2009, -1/+1Always thought John Stewart was overrated.
  • TitoBob, on 02/25/2009, -4/+3He could have come back with, "Well, if I'm George W. Bush, that makes you my Dick... Cheney" and then play the Emperor's Theme as a composite of Cheney/Oliver rolls out on a wheelchair...
  • inactive, on 02/25/2009, -4/+3John stewart IS NOT FUNNY, my god, he thinks his Jerry Lewis impersonation is the greatest thing ever.

    I feel bad for him, he's running on fumes now because he can't/won't criticise obama and he's doing a ***** job of being funny now.

    Look at how Colbert is doing without bush, now look at Jon.

    One makes you laugh, one makes you groan.
  • gavinhudson, on 02/24/2009, -12/+11I've never seen Stewart take that kind of abuse. I almost wondered if it was partially unscripted ribbing. Darn funny, though.
  • uniqueminer, on 02/25/2009, -8/+7Nobody does political satire better than you Jon. Good work brother!
  • silent128, on 02/25/2009, -3/+1Yes i could. There is plenty of retarded people on digg and there does not seem to be any hint of sarcasm or really any point to make a sarcastic comment like that since it makes no sense. I have heard and seen stupider things then not knowing who the current president is.
  • zsavior, on 02/25/2009, -5/+3Wow He got Roasted on his Own Show. HARD Freaking CORE!
  • grimlenn, on 02/25/2009, -5/+2Are you... serious? You can't be serious... He can't be serious, right?
  • grimlenn, on 02/25/2009, -5/+2No, that just means that your dick should rotate clockwise.
  • inactive, on 02/25/2009, -12/+9It will be nice when Bush is finally out of office.
  • Hotmonkas, on 02/25/2009, -6/+2who cares if he can't sing or dance
  • inactive, on 02/24/2009, -6/+2Hugh Jackman, the guy's amazing!
  • silent128, on 02/25/2009, -6/+2lol way to stay up with the events of the world. He hasn't been in office for over a month.....
  • danthepiercer, on 02/25/2009, -9/+4few people annoy me as much as john oliver. yes, im aware that this is his character, but ***** man, do you have to succeed so admirably at being an annoying twit?!
  • REBECCAFRIEDMAN, on 02/24/2009, -9/+3I'm not his biggest fan, but you have to feel sorry for him after getting that kind of unflattering comparison to Hugh Jackman.
  • gozroth, on 02/25/2009, -14/+7I watch The Daily Show every night, but I've NEVER found Jon Stewart that funny. smart? yes. funny? not so much.
  • AmidTheSnow, on 02/25/2009, -10/+1As if I needed further evidence that Jon Stewart and Stephan Colbert are and always will be completely irrelevant.
  • nfenetee8, on 02/25/2009, -11/+1Lame
  • inactive, on 02/24/2009, -35/+2YAY FOR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT AN EVENT WHICH I DIDN'T WATCH BECAUSE I HAVE A LIFE
