I actually got the "heads up" about this last night in time to catch the west coast showing.
Cancelling on the Daily Show clearly inspires them to ever greater journalism.
If you didn't see this, you ought to watch it.
Plus, all the kewl kids are posting it, so this way you don't have to go to their blogs to find the links.
Classic television.
Great journalism.

I saw this on the Daily Kos this morning. Fabulous job by Jon Stewart and crew; I never did like CNBC anyway.
