** The night of the show's first ever episode (October 17, 2005), ''TheDailyShow'' did a pre-show toss in which Jon Stewart asked Stephen if he was ready. Stephen answered:
--> Very ready. Feel like I've been doing this show for years. Six years, in fact. I feel like the first two years were pretty good, started out strong. Then I hit a bit of a lull, had some substance abuse issues, came back, and for the last four years - strong as an ox.

** One thing that shows what a sharp satire the ''Report'' is is the fact that even though it was meant to be an ''O'Reilly'' spoof, it also in large part predicted the rise of GlennBeck, whose first TV show (on {{HLN}}) debuted three months after the ''Report''. Beck rose to greater prominence with his FoxNews show three years later, and [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/252013/october-08-2009/bend-it-like-beck the similarities between him and Stephen didn't escape Stephen's notice.]]
