The Daily Show rocks!

So I was lucky enough to snag a friend's friend's extra ticket to the taping of the Daily Show on Thursday and I have to say that as funny as the show is at home, there is such a great vibe being there and watching it live. It is a little hard to hear at the live taping since the crowd tends to drown out Stewart's punch lines (the crowd reaction is very much amped down on the recorded track) but everyone is so excited to be there that it's very easy to get swept up. I myself ended up loudly laughing, cheering and yes booing (come on Bill Kristol!) and watching the show as it aired that night, I swear I could even hear my boos come through.

The whole show was quite good but I have to say I particularly enjoyed this report by John Oliver. Even Jon Stewart, watching it on the monitors from his desk laughed heartily through the report and John Oliver came out for a rousing round of applause during the commercial break. See if you can hear me boo ;)
