5. A bit on guys questioning Geo. Washington's

service and character - a la swiftboat vets...

Can't remember the title of the bit, but it was funny. And pointed.

Started by talking about the negative campaigning. Said Bush was criticized for not defending Texas well enough against Arkansas, and Kerry for not getting wounded enough...

Well, it was funny when he did it!

[Pirate Smile]

2. Did he win or is he hosting? What did he say?

[Zen Democrat]

9. He WON!!!!!!!!!!

For Best Variety Show??? Is that what it is?

[Eric J in MN]

22. I wouldn't describe "The Daily Show" as a variety show

(there are no singers or jugglers) but it's nice they won.

[REP]

27. Category is "Comedy, Variety OR Music Program"

The Daily Show won the Emmy for Best Comedy, Variety or Music Program
The Daily Show writers won the Emmy for Best Writing for Comedy, Variety or Music Program.
Jon Stewart was nominated but did not win for Best Individual Performance in a Comedy, Variety or Music Program (lost to someone I've never heard of).

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. I only got a glimpse of the text on the screen

when they announced The Daily Show won. It must have been a comedy series then? It's not a music show. I wouldn't call it a comedy "series" either. :shrug:

10. That was AWESOME.

Very cool. I hope they put it on the website.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

11. Won for writing.

[NYCGirl]

12. And Howard Dean read the names of the writers nominated!

Have I said lately that I love that man?

[Melodybe]

13. I love that Dean is friends with the folks at the Daily Show

It just makes my heart just a little warmer for both Dean and Jon.

Yay! for the Daily Show.

[Cha]

14. THey had Dean at the emmys?

Thanks!

[NYCGirl]

15. Howard's bit was on film. (eom)

[redstateblues]

21. I'm impressed with Dean's media moves-Monday Nite Football

now this. He is not sitting still. I must admit, I love hearing the scream

[madfloridian]

23. Here is a link to his Democracy fest scream upon request. Funny

http://sf4dean.com/gallery/album45

He is actually requested even on college campuses to do it. He does it briefly. Guess he might as well.

He is in the album here with the Florida Dean Dozen, Rob MacKenna from Tampa.

This was the first Democracy Fest this year. Already another planned for next year.

This video is just plain fun.

16. Jon's book #1 on Amazon now! n/t

[AlCzervik]

17. Peter Boyle with his Kerry/Edwards pin on! He didnt win but the camera

panned to him a couple of times.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

18. The Wizard Rules!

[monchie]

19. I just watched "Young Frankenstein" again last night...

...and Peter Boyle is screamingly funny as the monster, particularly in the "Puttin' on the Ritz" scene. Glad to see that he's on the side of the good guys.

[Shopaholic]

20. The end of the George Washington SBV parody was called

something like Rowboat Vetrans for Veracity. The funny bit was seeing someone labeled a "Colonial Trollop" saying "George Washington really slept here!"

[kskiska]

24. If you can, watch Peter Boyle in "Joe"

It's a '70s picture set in the hippie era with Boyle as a hardhat. I think it's Susan Sarandon's first picture. Terrific performance by Boyle.

26. Why Do They Even Bother With Other Nominees For Comedy Etc Writing?

Jon Stewart and the other Daily Show writers are hands-down the very best in the business today. I didn't watch the awards, and I'm not surprised they won again, but that doesn't stop me from being very happy for them all!

[REP]

28. Jon At The Emmys:

Culled from various internet sources:

7:03 Daily Show double winner Jon Stewart denies reports that he may jump ship to CBS to succeed Craig Kilborn on the Late Late Show. "I'm very happy where I am."

7:04 And today's second "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis" award goes to the reporter who asked Stewart, "What makes a woman happy in marriage?" His classic retort: "I'm sorry if I gave you guys the wrong impression, but I'm not a woman."

7:05 Stewart is asked to comment on Britney Spears surprise weekend nuptials. His response? "Who gives a f--k." Hey, this bitter-funny thing is contagious.

"I can categorically tell you how false that is. I'm very very happy here I am. Three cheers for basic cable. Huzzah. Huzzah. Huzzah." -- Jon Stewart reassuring the "Daily Show" team that he has no intention of taking over for Craig Kilborn on "The Late Late Show."

[Gore1FL]

30. John is bigger than Kilborn ever was

The Netowrks kill the commedians that go there -- Maher and kilborne both.

[REP]

31. Plus Jon Recently Signed a Contract with Comedy Central

He *can't* go anywhere without a fight, and I don't think he wants one. He likes his schedule (one week off each month) and the relatively free range he gets there.

Kilborn was never as funny as Stewart, though - not much to kill and Maher just got unfunny all on his own, long before the flap over his 9/11 comments and backpedal.

[Piperay]

32. That was TERRIFIC

I wish Move-On would use that for in an ad to help Kerry. :thumbsup:

[bermudat]

33. Is someone going to post that clip?

[Justice]

34. Samatha Bee

George did not cross the Delaware, he spent the night here (as she drew her hand down across the front of her body). So funny.

I hope he plays it on the show tonight.

[cmf]

35. I saw it!

I turned on the TV just in time. My poor husband was brushing his teeth and missed it.

"Look at how he's standing? Who stands in a skiff boat? That's just poor boatsmanship!"

I laughed MAO!
