Anyone Watching the Daily Show?

[GiovanniC]

Okay, stupid question. Everyone's watching.

Did you catch the segment with that moron with the movie "Michael Moore Hates America"?

[sandraj]

1. Yes

Too funny.

2. What did they say? nt

[sandraj]

4. Basically

Samantha Bee followed the guy around with a camera. He was trying (unsuccessfully) to find Michael Moore and turn the tables on him for his movie. Moore had a couple of humorous cameo appearances in the bit.

5. Did anyone else see the picture of the hot tub?

I saw it posted here recently, it was from a gathering of DU members. They replaced one face with the face of Senator Kennedy.

6. Are you serious???

[RichV]

7. Yep.

Mike's cameo was hilarious. And I noticed that Colin Quinn has apparently been replaced by that Crossfire parody. YEAH!

[West Coast Democrat]

11. What Crossfire parody?

that sounds funny!

[RichV]

12. Called 'Crossballs'

Guess it's on for a couple weeks in Colin's slot, at least. I have no problem with that. I really despise Tough Crowd.

[sandraj]

17. I thought that too

But Colin will be back in 2 weeks (unfortunately)

[ms.smiler]

10. Yes, I recall two pictures were posted.

[GiovanniC]

15. Parody of Crossfire and Hardball

And it is hilarious. But you gotta take it with a grain of salt. They aren't serious, but they go out of their way to offend their guest expert.

14. Huh? Are you sayijng a photo of DUers was shown on

Huh? Are you sayijng a photo of DUers was shown on "The Daily Show?"

[ms.smiler]

19. Yes, the same photo I saw here recently.

There was a gathering of DU members, a barbecue in someone's yard. A day or two later, someone posted additional photos from the gathering. They were taken at night. DU members were in the hot tub. The Daily Show replaced the face of the fellow in the middle who was surrounded by other DU members. I've been trying to locate the two photos using search but I have yet to find them.

20. so a "Daily Show" producer reads this message board?

[tom_paine]

25. Undoubtedly. Some of my most tinfoil stuff makes it there

Of course, many others are saying it and it's not tinfoil, but for ",ainstream" like the Daily Show it can be treated as no other.

More than once I've been watching the Daily Show and hearing my (our, as it is likely me and many others) stuff and how it might appear to others.

Wouldn't surprise me if Stewart himself reads and posts at DU.

I've prpbably called him a Freeper.

:evilgrin:

Sorry, John! Great work you do! Keep it up!

13. There's Some Moron

Who is trying to make a "documentary" called Michael Moore Hates America.

The whole idea is to film an epic quest to try to get an interview with Michael Moore. On the off chance that Michael Moore granted the interview, the movie would end with this kid pissing himself. But Michael Moore won't grant an interview for a faux-documentary called "Michael Moore Hates America". I wonder why that is?

Samantha Bee follows him around as a hot-dog vendor, an old couple, and some others refuse to talk to this kid on-camera, basically making him look like a serious loser.

Then, Samantha talks to Moore's lawyer, saying (paraphrase), "Doesn't the First Amendment guarantee this kid's right to force Michael Moore to talk to him?"

The lawyer disagrees. Samantha asks "What about the second amendment?"

The lawyer says, "The gun amendment?"

Samantha says, "What about the third amendment?"

The lawyer says, "There's no amendment that can compel someone to talk to anyone."

Samantha says, "This Constitution thing is for shit."

Then, Samantha laments how camera-shy Michael Moore is. Michael Moore is standing behind her in the shot.

They then proceed to show this moron kid in more zany hijinks because the kid is basically an unbelievable idiot.

8. I loved it!!!

:D It was so funny that Samantha Bee ditched them to go get champagne with Moore, heh :D

[Still_Loves_John]

9. I love how Moore

was in it but didn't elevate the guy by talking. Great bitch slap.

[ms.smiler]

21. I found the photos - would someone please confirm?

Bleachers7 posted the pictures in the thread, "It's hot tub party night for the mods. I have pictures." I'm certain it was the first picture and that I recognized Skinner and JulieRB.

[starroute]

22. You mean these?

Certainly looks very similar -- but don't all hot tub party photos look the same? (And surely those weren't real DU photos, were they?)

[Norquist Nemesis]

23. OMG! It was the 2nd one!!!

I've never seen the pics before and had no idea they originated in here!

edit: oops! misread who was pasted LOL

Yes, it definitely was that pic on the Daily Show. :)

[BlackVelvetElvis]

24. Maybe a coincidence but...

I've noticed a few original jokes and gags from TDS that I heard on DU first.
Great minds think alike?
