Killing Hobos is Funny

Posted by on January 12 at 23:05 PM

Um… John Stewert just killed a hobo on The Daily Show.

The bit was filmed, no doubt, before these guys killed a hobo in Florida earlier tonight.

But all was quickly forgiven, thanks to an Ed Helms joke about Mrs. Alito being forced, as the result of a tragic laundry accident, to wear her grandmother’s couch to the hearings. Hee-haw.

UPDATE: Wait just a fucking minute! Rob Corddry just used the phrase “guy with pie,” a phrase that I introduced in a recent Savage Love! So the writers at The Daily Show will rip off my column but they won’t have me on the show when I’m promoting a book! They’ve referenced Savage Love before—they told their viewers to Google “Santorum” when SpreadingSantorum.com reached #1 on Google! Geez, fuck those guys!

Don't you have to be running for and/or hold some sort of office to appear on that show these days? You could always try for Colbert?

Dude, excuse me, but I introduced the phrase 'guy with pie' in the seventh grade.

Are you serious? They won't have you on? I'm a huge fan of The Daily Show. Since I moved to England 3 years ago, it's one of the few things I can point to that doesn't make me embarassed to be American. But if they won't have you on. . .oh man....worldview crumbling....

Resentment kills Dan. . .It's not like these guys all got together at a Bath
to conspire against thee

Appearing on the Daily Show is Dan's God-Given Entitlement as a Major Celebrity!

I'm going to write a positively *huffy* letter to Jon Stewart about this.

This is an especially heinous sin given Stephen Colbert's recent complaints about not being credited by the AP for his coinage of "truthiness."

What can I say? I was drunk and a touch stoned last night at 11:15 PM when I wrote that post. Of course they don't have to have me on, but it's not like gay marriage isn't, you know, an *issue,* politically speaking and stuff. And I have to admit that I was disappointed because I'm such a big fan of the Daily Show.

But now that I've sobered up, well, a post that I meant to make me look like I was making fun of a sense of entitlement just looks like I got one.

Withdrawn.

This reminds me of when former City Councilmember Judy Nicastro whined when Mayor Nickels took credit for one of her ideas and ran with it.

Get a skin Dan.

*cough*Oprah*cough*

Dan's an author! That's reason enough to have him on the show. Dan, you should keep harassing them.

Even though you've withdrawn, I still want to express my disbelief that they they won't have you on the show. The Daily Show seems like such a great place and you're right up their alley. Hell, you've even been on This American Life, that's like a free ticket in.

What's the deal, Jon?

If they can have Bill Friggin' O'Really and the rest of the right-wing Fox crew on practically every week, they can have some Damn Savage.

The daily show has two types of guests -big stars promoting a movie and those of a political bent. I know you're very political, Dan, but your column and your books aren't so much politcal as they are reflective of being either very sexy, very gay, or both.

Want to be on The Daily Show (and I think you'd be a marvelous guest)? Write a book called "Cornholing Congress."

As much as I am truly concerned that they won't have you on The Daily Show Dan, I must say that I found it rather entertaining (er, upsetting?) to open the link to the article and see a great big advetisement for Disney World flashing at me. It's good to know that although Ft. Lauderdale might not be the happiest place on Earth, Disney World still is...

Of all the nerve. And the Economist didn't credit you for coining "Santorum" as "something indescribable in a family newspaper" either. Bastards.
