I am taking some time off from the "well it looks like we won't get to go home on time after all" news-pundit crowd by watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart election night coverage on Comedy Central. Much has been said recently about the "fake news" show. It's hilarious.

Great references to Tron and any number of other hilarious things. Rob Corddry exit polling aliens in Halo. And the interviews are classic. The best part is these interviews are not set up - their real, just off the wall in the question department.

The looks on the faces of the interviewees are priceless... And Rob even gets them to lick voting booth curtains after speaking to a scientist about what's likely to be found on those curtains when so many people use the booths.

Question by Rob Corddry: "Is it possible that I got genital warts while voting?"

Scientist's answer: "The probability is near zero."

This is so much better than the real news.

Didn't you just cringe when the scientist licked the curtain?

And how did Samantha Bee keep a straight face while asking such in-your-face questions? Come to think of it, they all do that. That's the best -- when any one of the correspondents asks something completely rude in the middle of a mock-serious interview.

Thanks for posting this. The more viewers, the better the country. Jon Stewart's a uniter, not a divider!
