Jon Stewart to Remain at 'Daily Show'

Whoever runs for president in 2008 will be covered by Jon Stewart (news) on "The Daily Show."

The star of the Comedy Central mock newscast has re-upped for four more years, the cable channel announced Thursday.

"A lot of people like to get out when their show's still going well," Stewart said. "This gives me the opportunity to beat this thing into the ground."

Besides hosting "The Daily Show," Stewart serves as an executive producer and writer. His contract had been set to expire at the end of this year.

8. Please be careful: don't let the Rightwing know.
They think that the Daily Show is a parody. Don't let them find out that it's the only true news show on TV! ;-)

9. Yeah, he's my favorite Fake News Show host
The competition these days is getting so fierce. I trust Jon Stewart to give me the real news.

Just yesterday they were beating themselves for letting the Government out fake them with the latest Medicare ads.

Go Jon Go!!

10. Love Stewart, but what is with all the r-wing guests recently?
I mean one after another after another. I know sometimes they just hang themselves, but they're obviously looking for an image upgrade (from stodgy to funny and hip) and he seems awfully compliant. Geez, I can see those assholes on FOX any time; why give 'em so much air on TDS?

Which I regard as a national treasure, b.t.w.
