New 'Daily Show' Site Offers 13,000 Free Videos

by Switched Staff on October 19, 2007 at 05:14 PM



For many young Americans, the 'Daily Show with Jon Stewart' is the only source for news. Until recently, 'Daily Show' addicts could only access a limited number of clips from shows past on the Comedy Central Web site. Yesterday, though, the Daily Show launched a beta version (meaning not finished) of its own dedicated Web site visitors mine through a 13,000 video clip archive of segments that go all the way back to 1999 (the year Stewart replaced original host Craig Kilborn).

For now, the site offers roughly 7,000 clips for viewing online, with the rest to come by the end of the year. Unfortunately, whole episodes will not be available, but let's face it, the show is sometimes uneven anyway, so why not stick to the best stuff?

Luckily, it's easy to find: Searching through the content using tags such as "Indecision 2000" and "George W. Bush" or "Iraq" is the most effective way to bring up a treasure trove of old footage.

Die-hard Stephen Colbert devotees, for example, will find over 500 clips to wade through. We searched for Colbert's "This Week in God," our personal favorite, and were greeted with a chronological list of specific clips -- "Falwell Law" and "Girls Gone Humble" -- we could watch.

Frankly, for 'Daily Show' fans, the site rocks. And it's free!

For those interested in reliving the painfully awkward Lynne Cheney interview, your search awaits...
