It was a great one. Stephen actually agreed with Steven's argument, and Steven broke down crying because he didn't know how to handle not-arguing.

EasyEW posted:The original Kilborn-era premise was "parody of lovely local news shows", so the field pieces were pretty low stakes, as with this evergreen Beth Littleford classic from 1996. Hah. Kilborn calling someone else a pig. Even if it's a pig. EDIT: INDECISION 2000 HATH STARTED TECHNICALLY IN OCTOBER 1999. EDIT AGAIN: Beth Littleford just said "cooch" on TV. I guess that's legal. I haven't heard the word 'cooch' in quite a while. Is it spelled 'cootch'? Steve Vader fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Jun 28, 2015 |

While I don't like Mo Rocca, I have to admit, seeing him slowly press a mic into the face of a man that may or may not have been John Bolton, distorting the bastard's face without him paying any attention to Rocca, was pretty drat funny. Especially because it only stopped when someone batted him away with another mic. It's like Maybe-Bolton didn't even feel it.

Even though he was referring to the pre-election process, it was pretty funny and prophetic to hear Jon say, in Nov 1999, that Bush was "magically selected to be president." edit: naked bongo Jon sighting

Oh man do I miss the days before social media. Actress comes on after clip from her show (E/R) is played. First thing she says is, "That guy in that scene with me SMELLED SO BAD IT WAS AWFUL." Even apart from that, though, I've been trying unsuccessfully to put my finger on what's so different about the feel of this show back around this time. Not so much the show itself but the way people interact with each other in conversation during the interviews. Maybe it's the absence of social media, I dunno. Something just feels ... insulated. Hard to articulate. And I'd forgotten how much I missed Public Excess and Al Greenwood The Mattress King. e: bedspread king not mattress king, how dare I Von Sloneker fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Jun 29, 2015 |

A segment on removing the confederate flag from the South Carolina Capitol building. It only took 15.5 years. e: this show is such a time capsule. A story about the first transiting extrasolar planet discovered. We're now up to very near on 2,000. e2: Close to the end of 1999 and we're still doing "Headlines". Also the second time I've heard "Macarena" come up today. kayakyakr fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Jun 29, 2015 |

The indecision 2000 jackets were awesome. I was noticing: they do more actual field pieces. It's mostly low-hanging fruit type stuff, but when they cut to someone, they're actually in Kansas or New Hampshire or London instead of in front of a green screen. e: Paul Rudd has literally not changed in 15 years. e2: Is bob dole the first actual politician to come on? kayakyakr fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Jun 29, 2015 |

I remember an interview from back then where they'd convince those people to go on the show by calling them up and saying they were from "a cable news show". The Daily Show was still low key enough (even though it got plenty of commercials on Comedy Central) that these people didn't know what they were getting into. Of course, a year or two down the road and they'll make that "The most important television show, ever" tag line a lot closer to the truth than they intended it and that tactic no longer works...

Stewart has given several interviews where he talked about how totally astonished they were at how easy it was to get access to the 2000 campaigns. TDS didn't have the "they'll gently caress your conservative rear end up" reputation it now has, so TDS was able to basically tag along to Bush's entire ride.

Earlier during a Bill Maher interview, unless I misunderstood something, I'm pretty sure Stewart and Maher agreed they would vote for McCain (unless they were talking about having to choose between repub candidates).

That was odd. I think Stewart once claimed he voted for George H.W. Bush actually. Plus this was 1999 McCain when he actually had some pretty centrist tendencies. Also the way Jon Stewart used to say "You're watching the Daily Show on Comedy Central" when cutting to commercial is so aggravating I can't stand it.

I think they were talking about Republican candidates. And when I first turned on Month of Zen, Peter Krause was the guest and he called him KRAUSS. Now he's pronouncing his last name "correctly," which still seems wrong. KRAUZ-uh. Man, just be KRAUSS. And hah, he just made fun of the pronunciation. I forgot about Godstuff. I look forward to Godstuff. ... I forgot this is what Godstuff was. What was the thing where Colbert had a spinning wheel of weird God stories and he would hit a button to stop the wheel?

Yeah, if you only know him from his insane right turn swing he made after 2000 as part of a bid to make himself appeal to the base more, you wouldn't know that McCain used to be "the cool Republican". He was the guy who broke ranks with the party all the time in order to speak his mind and there was talk of him running as an independent with a democrat running mate. It wasn't even 9/11 that changed McCain, it was a naked attempt to tie himself to party politics so he could get the 2008 presidential bid. Steve Vader posted:... I forgot this is what Godstuff was.

The impression I had at the time was that he was taken to a conference room at the Republican headquarters and told that if he was a good party member they'd give him the next presidential nominee slot to be available.
