The Daily Show’s Samantha Bee leaves to start her own satirical news show
The Daily Show’s Samantha Bee leaves to start her own satirical news show
Last month Jon Stewart announced he would be leaving The Daily Show, ending a run that’s lasted more than 15 years and changed the way we consume news. Today it’s correspondent Samantha Bee’s time…
It looks like they are going to dismantle everything and start fresh the same way they did with Stewart after Kilborn left the show. It bums part of me out, but kudos to Comedy Central for not trying to capture lighting in a bottle twice.

maybe it’s a little silly to find oneself so invested in the fates of fictional characters. But consider the last clip of the end credits, in which we see not the characters but the cast members embrace one last time as the show wraps for the final time. It reminds us of something that is tragically underscored by the dedication to Harris Wittels that follows immediately after. Those last moments remind us of the thin line separating the stories we watch from the people who make them. Sure, Pawnee was fictional. But the care and the love that built it never were, and those are what I’ll miss most.
I’m going to miss this damn show so much.

“I always say, "What are we going to do with these cards when I die?” And my daughter, Melissa, said, “Give them to the Smithsonian, they take anything.‘ Anything. And they’re not allowed to sell!”
If these jokes don’t end up in the smithsonian I am going to be very dissapointed. Joan Rivers was a national treasure.
Humor is fundamentally a sense of perspective, and as I’ve grown older I’ve just gone back to the position I had when I was 15 or 16, when I thought most of what was going on was absolutely ridiculous.

The partnership between Comedy Central, a cable cannel owned by Viacom, and Twitter represents the evolving relationship between television and social media. Twitter is often incorporated into programming with viewers using the site as a second screen while watching live television. But slowly, Twitter is becoming an outlet on which to watch video.
Amy Chozick, The New York Times. A Comedy Show That Comes via a Hashtag.
Next week, Comedy Central is hosting a comedy show almost entirely on Twitter, with comedians posting video clips and jokes using the hashtag #ComedyFest. It’s an experiment to get users to watch video directly on Twitter, rather than use Twitter as a second screen while watching TV.

As early as next month, Comedy Central will introduce a free, ad-supported app, called CC: Stand-Up. Designed to look and feel like a cable »
Gorilla Sales Skyrocket After Latest Gorilla Attack
Reports confirmed that gorilla sales have historically risen sharply in the immediate aftermath of a major gorilla attack, most notably after the 2010 tragedy in the small town of Logan, NM, where 14 people, including two 5-year-old children and a 92-year-old woman, were viciously beaten to death by a 12-year-old gorilla who spontaneously attacked patrons of a crowded grocery store.
