I love the Daily Show, and also the Colbert Report. But they suffer from one major flaw...
They take more vacations than George W Bush. Does anybody else think that for a salary equivalent to the GDP of a small country that perhaps they could actually do the show and not stick us with repeats so often?
I understand that comedy is hard, but so is news and those guys seem to be able to go a month without a vacation. Plus there are all kinds of backups. I enjoyed Rob Cordry as host. And once Samantha Bee gets back it would be fantastic to have her host a show. Or Lewis Black.
C'mon guys, even NPR only begs for money twice a year.
If I didn't love the show so much it would not hurt as bad to be stuck with repeats.
