Next week, The Daily Show will be taping in Washington DC as they ramp up to the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. And next Wednesday, Jon Stewart will welcome Barack Obama to the show, the first time a sitting president has appeared as a guest on the show.
It should be an interesting episode, and I imagine they’ll dedicate a pretty sizable chunk of the show to the interview. I also think we can now look forward to loud people on the right criticizing Obama for being desperate and/or not respecting the office of the president, as well as lots of shrill denunciations of Jon Stewart and the rally as extreme leftist garbage or some such nonsense, which will be great.
