12 Women Who Would Make Great ‘Daily Show’ Hosts in Jon Stewart’s Absence

By Jason Bailey on

As we reported yesterday, Jon Stewart is taking a three-month sabbatical from The Daily Show to write and direct a feature adaptation of journalist Maziar Bahari’s memoir. During his absence, in addition to the expected summer surplus of reruns, Senior British Correspondent John Oliver will sit in as guest host — and don’t get us wrong for a second, we love us some John Oliver.

By Judy Berman on

There are celebrity political endorsements and then there are mega-celebrity political endorsements. File the video below, in support of the Center for Reproductive Rights, in the latter category. It features a cast including Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, Audra McDonald, Billy Crudup, Lisa Kudrow, and Olympia Dukakis poking fun at conservative lawmakers’ depressingly ignorant statements about women’s health and urging us to sign the center’s Bill of Reproductive Rights. And to really drive the point home, they call in one A-list actress no one would dare argue with: Meryl Streep. Your move, radical right. … Read More
