The Daily Show Weekly: May 24-June 10, 1999 | A Vic and Chandler Rewatch - a podcast by Vic Shuttee

APRIL 9, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It was the Thursday cultural roller-coaster that’s become oh-so common in the age of Trump but man – but in the AM, Judge Gorsuch is confirmed after a GOP dismantles the Senate Filibuster rule, at lunch comedy legend Don Rickles kicks the bucket at age 90 and by nightfall, Trump is bombing ISIS forces in Syria and warning Russian agencies before asking Congress. Holy shit! By comparison, June ’99 is a cakewalk. It’s a fortnight of inspired segments and historical firsts (The birth of the Arby’s joke, amazingly, is NOT the biggest one!) Plus, Mo Rocca stokes a war between Garfield the cat the American Polka community, Natalie Portman aces Jon’s sneaky high school finals quiz and the first 17 weeks of Jon Stewart’s Daily Show are given the cliff-hanging season finale treatment they’ve always deserved. Patricia Richardson, Suzanne Somers, Jamie Foxx, Harry Connick Jr, Caroline Rhea, Damon Wayans, Timothy Hutton also guest, and ding-dong – Jon receives a special delivery from a pool boy in some very short shorts. The Daily Show Weekly: A Vic and Chandler Rewatch is an unofficial fan podcast designed to serve as a critical companion to the “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”, which belongs to Comedy Central and can be watched in clips at CC.com. Our thoughts and criticism are intended to offer historical reflection and enhance the viewing experience for new and old fans journeying through Jon Stewart’s seminal talk show run. Our awesome album artwork is designed by Felipe Flores Comics, and our theme music is by Michael Turnage!
