Oh yeh, I got it. Besides, I'd heard Hodgman's work before and have learned to keep a tight grip on my leg lest he pull it clean off. (Lobster, anyone?) And no doubt that Gobsmacked Stare is an oft-used item in Stewart's toolbox. But it and Hodgman's routine together produced a moment that, for this new viewer, won't be soon forgotten.

The Daily Show is a comedy show, and the "reporters" reports are all written ahead of time, staged, and not meant to be serious. @Michael: It’s not clear if you got this or not.

[kc]udos to you, Mr. Coulton. and i dont know much about Hodgman but i'd seen him on before, and have to say he is one of the funniest fake anchors/guests ever on the show, with the exception of the jokes and puns he tries which fail horribly and only make him look like more of a loser. but therein lies the genious... holy crap.

While spreading the word about your music as best I could (And having Skullcrusher Mountain stuck in my head for days) imagine my surprise when I read that your song was going to be on the Daily Show, a favorite of my family. I called them all up and told them to watch, that this guy was the one I had been raving about for weeks now... My brother said you're insane...but in a good way. ^_^ -glych (who's still humming Skullcrusher Mountain) Jon-

Im a big Daily Show fan anyways. I'll be watching the rerun, and i share the boycrush on the on Tom Selleck. My moms crush on Mr. Selleck is probably a lot less boyish.

It makes me suspect that Mr. Hodgman may be the very man for whose benefit "bullshit" became a verb.
