it IS good, DAMN good!

and i'm so glad he (well, they) won. i don't get to watch it as often as i would like. i'm actually sleeping (i usually get a total of three hours a night) when it's on at night and often at work during the re-broadcasts during the day. i do catch it whenever i can and LOVE it whenever i do catch it.

Our boy did it, folks!

Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show" won the Emmy for the category of the best variety, music or comedy series.
I am pleased for a number of reasons that I'll explain below the fold.
First, I had better explain why a Brit is writing this: Jon Stewart is not just the best political commentator on your TVs. He is the best one on our TV over here as well!
Welshman's diary :: ::
So much for those who thought Jon Stewart had lost some of his shine by his performance at the Oscars. So much for those who denounced him for his support of Colbert's brilliant segment at The White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Take the award, Jon, for just defending Colbert with your comments about his performance as being "balls-alicious" and stating that "We've never been prouder of him, but holy shit!" Oh, yes, and for describing the annual dinner as "where the President and the press corps consummate their loveless marriage."
Yet the real reason why "The Daily Show" deserves the award is simply because it is good; damn good.................
