      Daily Show Evolves Into True Force

      (Newser) - Oh, what a difference eight years makes.

      Clinton Insiders Offer Post Mortem

      (Newser) - The New Republic asked (anonymous) Hillary Clinton camp insiders why their candidate isn’t booking her ticket to Denver: “I just don't think she was hungry enough for it …It wasn't really until the 10-in-a-row loss that she started doing stuff like Saturday Night Live and Jon Stewart.” “Devastating vulnerabilities such as Obama's associations with Wright and Ayers were not unearthed by the campaign's vaunted research team in time.” More »

      Clinton Yuks It Up on Daily Show

      (Newser) - On the eve of primary contests that could sink or save her campaign, Hillary Clinton turned up on The Daily Show for some good-natured ribbing from host Jon Stewart.

      Short of Jokes, 3 Comics 'Brawl'

      (Newser) - A trio of writerless comics nearly tussled on TV last night in an apparent effort to boost tepid ratings, Radar Online reports. Stephen Colbert started it on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," where he grumbled about Conan O'Brien; Conan then walked in and threatened both with a brawl. The source of their faux ire? Which one had "made" Mike Huckabee. More »

      Stewart, Colbert, Head to Head

      (Newser) - Steven Colbert got his start on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, " but has he, with "The Colbert Report," eclipsed his mentor? To settle the debate, the Los Angeles Times pits the comedians against each other, comparing their interview styles, humor, guests, books, segments, stunts, and more.
