The Daily Show in the UK

Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 03:03 PM by ben_packard

I just caught the last few minutes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Global Edition on CNN via sky (channel 513ish). Does anyone know anything about this show? Is it a clip show of the week? How long has it been on? Might not need to download it from now on.

ON EDIT: Found this on the CNN site
The Daily Show: Global Edition, is a half-hour international weekend edition of the satirical news commentary program which airs on U.S. cable network Comedy Central. The CNN International version is a compilation of the best comedy sketches that aired during the previous week on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," which is recorded weeknights before a live studio audience in New York.

called More4 which is being launched in October.

3. Yes, here is a link

"Later this year we will be launching a new digital television channel available on free-view without subscription and on Sky and Cable Platforms. Offering the opportunity to see more of the high- quality, intelligent programming for which Channel4 is known, this entirely new channel will be the home of documentaries, films, drama, news and current affairs."

6. I'm pleasantly surprised

Channel 4 has went so badly downhill since its early years, and I figured moving stuff to subscription channels like Film Four was part of the problem, expected this More4 to be similar.

Good for them, sounds like it'll be a good channel.

:thumbsup:

The Daily Show is probably the funniest thing on US TV right now!

My monthly satellite TV bill is worth it for TDS alone. :D
