Huh? What?
To commemorate the departure of Jon Stewart as host of The Daily Show there is a 42 days long stream of old episodes.

Where?
Here.

Can I watch it?
~~It seems to be region-free.~~ Someone at Comedy Central hates fun and the stream is now region-locked. Bastards.

What year is it?
As of the latest edit; We've entered the post 9/11 world. See this (estimated) schedule for more updated info.

Why?
To see a cultural phenomenon take shape and see the start of comedy greats as Vance DeGeneres, Adrianne Frost, Bob Wiltfong, and many others. (Or if you're so inclined; Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms, and many others.)

Is it funny?
~~So far, it's pretty decent. Also, pretty different.~~ Yes. It very much is.

Will you bump the thread when we get to the Bush election?
I better. Or, well, someone better.

watched a clinton state of the union address segment earlier this morning. it was pretty funny but stewart at that stage was definitely more interested in taking swipes at everyone than actually making a point.

i'll be checking it out throughout the month. it's a pretty cool thing!

xxracerxx · Jun 27, 2015

Can't wait. I was watching from the start (by this I mean since Craig), can't wait to watch some of this.

Emperor Bohe · Jun 27, 2015

this is pretty awesome. I wish that CBA/Worldwide Pants did this with Letterman too.

explodet · Jun 27, 2015

Dang, an "Elvis" piece with Carell.
This show sure has changed, eh?

Fugu · Jun 27, 2015

This is excellent. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

border · Jun 27, 2015

Damn, I was hoping that this would be for some of the old Craig Kilborn episodes.

Is there any way to watch this stream on a TV set? I have all consoles.

Ziltoidia 9 · Jun 27, 2015

Amazing watching this episode with Eric McCormick. The tone has completely shifted on the gay issue.

dehydratedbabies · Jun 27, 2015

This is really cool, thanks for posting it! I forgot how different the old format used to be. And it's always bizarre to remember that both Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert were on this show for a long time.

vatstep · Jun 27, 2015

Bookmarked. I can't imagine I'll watch this for long stretches, but it'll be amusing to pop in every once in a while and see where they're at. Really neat idea, and it's nice that it's free for everyone.

Dishwalla · Jun 27, 2015

Been watching this off and on since this morning, it's pretty cool to see the old topics of the day, kind of like the old SNLs. His episode with Ed McMahon that was on a couple of hours ago was great.

Those same three or four commercials they show are pretty annoying though.

Rhomega Beta · Jun 27, 2015

Forgot about this today because of the big SCOTUS decision, but wow, Jon has black hair, and talking about Monica Lewinsky!

Dishwalla · Jun 27, 2015

Hopefully someone bumps this when the 9/11 reaction episode is coming up. I'll try, but I can't make any guarantee.

He does have Seven of Nine on right now, that's interesting.

Extra Sauce · Jun 27, 2015

This is great. So happy it's not region-locked.

Did anyone notice how far they jump ahead between each episode?

Circle Jerk · Jun 27, 2015

Oh man, this is so weird.

Extra Sauce · Jun 27, 2015

They just made a joke about Stanley Kubrick's death the weekend before the episode. This is trippy indeed.

berzeli · Jun 27, 2015

Ian McKellen just talked about Gods and Monsters (amazing film btw) and the topic of being gay and specifically gay marriage came up; "There are a lot of things you can't do in this country as a gay man". And now you can, it just took sixteen years.

Also jokes about Kubrick's death from a then contemporary perspective feels weird.

A Human Becoming · Jun 27, 2015

Frank Decaro is not funny.

I almost forgot that the Daily Show had this guy on. Yeah, not really laughing.

Young Jon Stewert... so weird to see this.

He comes across as so arrogant. I guess his comedy become more humble with age.

MrCunningham · Jun 27, 2015

Pez dispensers worth gold when the Y2K shit hits the fan!

Jon Stewart has shoulders... either that or his head was smaller.

The format of the show really has changed.

Oh man, exclusive jokes from the Dailyshow website! EXCLUSIVE JOKES!

Agreed on all fronts. This is great and CBS/WWP is foolish for not doing this over the summer as everyone expected them to.

Mechanized · Jun 27, 2015

Uh, is this streaming the audio of someone typing/clicking as well? Maybe it's just my setup.

A Human Becoming · Jun 27, 2015

Interview about Baby Geniuses. Oh boy.

Frozenprince · Jun 27, 2015

I think after he stesp down, they should put up an archive of every episode for people to view.

Did I hear Jon Voight correctly? Was Jon Stewart really in Baby Geniuses?

Oh man, Generation X talk. Dem Gen X-ers.

Internet hate. Blacks are the real Jews?

Frozenprince · Jun 27, 2015

FUCK is this making me feel old.

exmachina64 · Jun 27, 2015

Wow, they're talking about the Twelve Tribes of Israel now.

Edit: It's weird to see Jon Stewart with all of this young energy.

No. Jon Stewart worked with his daughter in a movie.

Ah ha.

exmachina64 · Jun 27, 2015

Seriously, Jon Stewart's hair is mostly black in this time period.

Frozenprince · Jun 27, 2015

A live Sammy Hagar concert.

Yep it's the 90's alright.

Ecotic · Jun 27, 2015

It always amazes me how much less beaten down and tired he looks in these early episodes.

Hale-XF11 · Jun 27, 2015

Oh man, how could I forget about Beth Littleford. I had such a huge crush on her back then.

Extra Sauce · Jun 27, 2015

Holy shit they were still making "Larry King is old" jokes fifteen years ago.

This is when it was just riffing on pop culture.

It started to beat the ever loving hell out of him when it turned political.

Sadly true.

Roller Derby is back! This was before Beyblade.

Dude was born old.

Frozenprince · Jun 27, 2015

Good god this is so 90's it hurts my soul.

HOLY SHIT WTF WAS SAMMY HAGAR ON?

MrCunningham · Jun 27, 2015

Sammy Hagar's Hooch Tequila!

A Human Becoming · Jun 27, 2015

This Sammy Hagar interview reminds me of modern Jon.

MrCunningham · Jun 27, 2015

They sure had a different definition of "fat" back then. These days those celluloid women would be called "thick".

Young(er) Lewis Black!

A Human Becoming · Jun 27, 2015

Young(er) Lewis back wasn't as animated.

MrCunningham · Jun 27, 2015

A Human Becoming said:

It's amazing, because he still was animated. But he became even more animated.

Posh Spice... geeze...

That young Colbert!

Ffffffffff.. Moshing and Hootie and the Blowfish?

Salmonax · Jun 27, 2015

This is awesome - thanks for the heads-up, OP.

It was also okay to shame fat people back then.

They'd never get away with making that segment in modern times.

Ecotic · Jun 27, 2015

I like the color scheme of this set, it has sort of a calm late night conversation feel to it. Kind of a no pressure place you can go to have a conversation. Compared to the current one it almost feels like the difference between a physical set and a greenscreen.

MrCunningham · Jun 27, 2015

Man that hair! Colbert was a handsome sonofabitch!

American government experimenting with LSD on people. Such an interesting thing.

You can also really tell that the '60's were in style in the '90's.

A Human Becoming · Jun 27, 2015

Clowning for Christ...I wonder if such a place exists now.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
