Stewart Tries Again

There are two major themes in post Election Day coverage. The first of which is the subject of race. Colin mentioned Jon Stewart's joke that kinda bombed on Wednesday but he came back on Thursday with some help. Like we talked about on the humor night of our class, comedians tend to have people on their shows to make jokes that they themselves can't. That's what happened last night on the Daily Show. I think the interplay of the two worked.

The difference here is that these jokes weren't directed at Obama. In fact, his name is only mentioned once at the beginning of the segment to provide context for "Black Liberal Guilt."
