I cannot believe I even get to write this post. I didn't think I would ever see the likes of Stephen Colbert (playing Stephen Colbert) or Jon Stewart on the airwaves again. Yes, Stephen Colbert took over for Letterman, but his character formed on The Daily Show and made into its own show on The Colbert Report has been retired since December 2014. That was until last night, when Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart teamed up again on the first night of the Republican National Convention (RNC). 

At some point in 2011 Jenn recommended we check out The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. The only thing I knew about Jon Stewart at the time was that he had an acting role in the Adam Sandler movie, Big Daddy. Probably not something he wants to be remembered for. After the first episode of The Daily Show we were hooked. It became a nightly ritual. A staple in our home. He challenged a lot of what we believed at the time. Gay marriage, abortion, racial equality, veterans health care, the financial crisis, the modern 24/7 news outlets. The list goes on and on.

In the past few weeks both Jon Stewart and John Oliver have done incredible segments on their shows about how discrimination is alive and well in 2014. Jon Stewart used his first episode back on The Daily Show after a two week break to talk about the Ferguson shooting and the fact that racism is still alive and well in the US today. And John Oliver used his show, Last Week Tonight to bring up the embarrassing fact that in 2014 we are still paying women less then men. 

I cannot believe this is the first Daily Show video I am posting. For the last year or two Jenn and I religiously watch The Daily Show. It has become our go to dinner show. How can you go wrong, political satire, comedy, and a great interview.
