The "Daily Show" is up for three emmies and the "Colbert Report" for four -- not a big surprise, eh? Too bad they have to compete against each other.

1. I wish I knew which episodes they are

Episode #110? Guess I'll have to tune into the emmies to find out :)

There has never been anything like it before. Of course, right-wing egomaniacs like Chris Matthews and B.O. are rather a new phenomenon, also, so the material was not there.
