heidiFrom The O'Reilly Factor:
I can safely say that I have never been intoxicated while watching The Daily Show; of course, I often watch it at 7pm on the repeat, as I'm asleep at 11pm. But what about the rest of you?
[Poll #354790]
O'REILLY: But it is. It's true. I mean, you've got stoned slackers watching your dopey show every night, OK, and they can vote.
STEWART: Yeah.
O'REILLY: You can't stop them.
STEWART: Yeah, I just don't know how motivated they would be, these stoned slackers.
O'REILLY: Yeah, it just depends if they have to go out that day.
STEWART: What am I, a Cheech and Chong movie? Stoned slackers?
O'REILLY: Come on, you do the research, you know the research on your program.
STEWART: No, we don't.
O'REILLY: Come on, you do the research, you know the research on your program.
STEWART: No, we don't.
O'REILLY: Eighty-seven percent are intoxicated when they watch it. You didn't see that?
STEWART: No, I didn't realize that.
O'REILLY: Yeah, we have that there.

Date: 2004-09-23 09:55 am (UTC)I should conduct some research on my college dorm floor: Is the Daily Show funnier when you're intoxicated/stoned? I'm sure I could get some willing participants around here... :)

Date: 2004-09-23 10:04 pm (UTC)I'm probably one of the biggest Jon fangurls around, so since this didn't get my back up, I don't think it was a big deal. Of course, this may seem very arbitrary to you. :)
And I watch TDS any old way I can, but usually with rapt attention, and a certain embarrassing amount of dreaminess towards Jon. Er, yeah.

Call him up and call him on this "stoned" crap.
Gack it away with that snippet of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of an interview.

O'Reilly just drives me nuts. When he's not whinging about being attacked by the "liberals", he's insulting everyone else. How on earth anyone can take him seriously is beyond me. Why do people consent to being interviewed by him?

Aw, heck. I don't even *care* who she's voting for. I *do* like your mom!
(no subject)
Date: 2004-09-23 10:25 am (UTC)Unfortunately, she and my dad are life-long Republicans who can't seem to talk themselves out of voting for Bush. (Which is frankly just weird because my mom especially is fairly liberal in her approach to social issues.) But, they live in an electorally unimportant state that's going to go Bush no matter what. Whereas, my brother and I both live in swing states and are voting for Kerry. So we figure it kind of balances. At least that's what we say to avoid the
screaming hurtful family blow-upspolite political conversations over dinner.(no subject)

Date: 2004-09-24 03:59 am (UTC)The Daily Show poll
Date: 2004-09-25 11:49 pm (UTC)The TV and computer are next to each other in terms of eyesight line (editing purposes) and I'm often online while TDS is airing at 11pm (E!, ABC, and NBC are in competition for the 7pm slot). However, I'm also in a semi... 'drool' state by then too.
Err, multi-tasking and... stoned? Plus, on some days, I hear about the news first from TDS (e.g. CBS debacle and the 'apology').
I've watched TDS since sometime before Indecision 2000 but don't remember any other host for the show.
A follow-up to the Daily Show entry
Date: 2004-09-27 08:52 pm (UTC)NEW YORK - The folks at Comedy Central were annoyed when Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly kept referring to "The Daily Show" audience as "stoned slackers." So they did a little research. And guess whose audience is more educated?
Viewers of Jon Stewart's show are more likely to have completed four years of college than people who watch "The O'Reilly Factor," according to Nielsen Media Research.
Further down...
Whether it's the slacker or no-slacker zone, O'Reilly is entering it Oct. 7, when he's scheduled to appear on "The Daily Show."
