I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Pattinson interview, as I have no interest in Twilight, Cosmopolis, or Robert Pattinson. Jon has a way of making these things entertaining. It seems like whenever he interviews an actor about their new movie, the interview always turns into a Seinfeldian Conversation (which is usually hilarious). His entire interview with Paul Rudd turned into a hilarious discussion about different candies, which was good because I wasn't interested in Wanderlust either.

"WAIT! PLEASE DON'T GO! WE HAVE PICTURES OF TAYLOR LAUTNER!"
Yesterday's first segment was a wonderful Take That! at the extreme right's hateful book industry.
I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting Agency
The Fastest Man Alive
Is it wrong that I want Jon to actually write The Luckiest Woman in the World?
Bad Wolf 21: No. 
That made me miss Rob Cordry.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
When I heard the Republican National Convention was being delayed due to Hurricane Isaac, my first thought was picturing the Daily Show opening their coverage with "where is everybody?"

It's a real coinkydink. So much has happened over the last two weeks that would provide the show with amazing material, and they happen to be on a break...
The best news always happens when the Daily Show goes on break.

Yeah, I remember when all that Arab Spring stuff started happening while they were on break. Also, I've noticed that celebrities always die when they're on break...
The Daily Show is the only thing keeping celebrities alive!

Did anyone watch the Herman Cain interview? I did not.

Watched it, but don't remember much from it. Sam Bee's bit at the RNC was awesome though.
(Paraphrased):
Cain (on the subject of a poll that says that approximately 0% of blacks support Romney): "I don't believe in polls. I have anecdotal evidence and have spoken to people who disagree"
Did Leonard Nimoy really narrate a wonderfully lemony, short biography of Mitt Romney?! 
Lost in Space
John Oliver was absolutely brilliant last night in his comparison of the Republican party "modifying the truth" in order to get elected with a guy lying to get a drunk girl into bed with him.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
TDS is really on fire this week. The Nemoy segment was hilarious. "Local businessman" my ass. 
Lost in Space
How in the hell did they get Leonard Nimoy to narrate that? That was incredible.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Nimoy's retired from physical acting (though there's rumors he's going to be in the next Star Trek movie) but he still does voice acting from time to time.
Jon simply called in a favor from the Jewish Performers Network
Jon has Nimoy's wife and kids.

When Jon was a busboy he once took Nimoy's bags to his room but when Nimoy went to tip him, he realised he didn't have any cash so he gave him an IOU and Jon just cashed it.
Nimoy's opposed to Romney (so is Quinto, so that's two out of two Spocks against Romney), so he may have simply done the video for that reason.
Two out of two Spocks agree that Barack Obama is the only logical choice.

They got a lot of comedy mileage out of that interview the next day.
