TV Clips: “A Daily Show” & “Colbert Report: Nothing in the Prompters”
Sorry Charlie (and Katie), but we prefer to get our news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, even sans writers. In these new Daily Show and Colbert Report clips, the Comedy Central pundits show off their high-wire performance skills while showing their appreciation for the “ink-stained wretches” who help put the Emmy-winning funny in their mouths (and Prompters).
In this clip from It’s Always Funny In Philadelphia, Charlie goes on a first date with a little help from Mac and Dennis. What could go wrong?
With Passover/Easter 2012 season having just wound down, the best clip to cover the 2nd biggest convergence of Judeo-Christian holidays in one month is without a doubt this one from The Daily Show.
Standup comic and star of NBC’s hilarious Parks & Recreation, Aziz Ansari, performed the ceremonial “first mow” of the season at the Sheep Meadow. The mow, on behalf of the Central Park Conservatory, signaled the reopening of the Sheep Meadow this coming weekend. Ansari’s Tom Haverford will no doubt be there first thing Saturday morning selling SnakeJuice from a rolling cooler.
