President Barack Obama to Appear on The Daily Show

The Daily Show has officially announced that President Barack Obama will become the first sitting president to appear on the series. The leader of the free world is scheduled to visit the late night talk show Wednesday, October 27.
Obama himself is a friend of the show -- he appeared via video conferencing only days before the 2008 presidential election (view that moment in the clip above).
The president's appearance is surely no coincidence. Comedy Central isn’t exactly a big news media outlet, but in its way the cable network is an active contributor to pop culture and the way people view the political landscape. Strongly left-oriented, Comedy Central’s audience is in Obama’s target Democratic and left-leaning undecided demographic … and the midterm elections are now less than a dozen days away.
Will you be tuning it to hear the President’s message?

Team Coco Offering Live Streaming from Conan O’Brien Offices
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Talk Shows, Cable, Video,
Although we are still over two weeks away from the official launch of Conan O’Brien’s new TBS show, the buzz is already building. To ramp up the excitement for the late-night program, Team Coco began 24 hours of live streaming from the show’s offices at 1 p.m. EST today.
What behind-the-scenes action could we possibly see from that camera focused on the stairwell of their “comedy bunker”? If you were watching at 6:00 p.m. EST, you would have caught a dancing Taco Bell mascot (with a dancing taco). Earlier in the afternoon, you would have been treated to an aerobics session straight from the ‘80s.
Conan kicks off on November 8.

| Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear Announcement | ||||

The Queen of daytime had a gift for two of late night’s Princes (okay…jesters) on Thursday night. Comedy Central host Jon Stewart started his Daily Show with the usual jokes regarding the day’s events…but he was soon interrupted by channel-mate Stephen Colbert.
After some ribbing (Stewart) and cajoling (Colbert), the two announced that they will be combining rallies. That’s right: The "Rally to Restore Sanity" and The "March to Keep Fear Alive" have merged to create The "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.” Seeing the two of them on center stage was great fun, but they were soon trumped by someone with more clout than the they both have combined.

Katherine Jackson to Appear on Oprah?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Rumors,
TMZ spotted Oprah Winfrey’s production crew outside the Jackson home over the weekend. The workers, who arrived in several trucks and two SUVs, confirmed that they were there doing “an Oprah shoot.”
The crew ordered pizzas and received a parking ticket while inside the home. They stayed briefly, then packed up and left.
Oprah did not make an appearance, so it’s likely the team was shooting an introductory segment for an eventual Katherine Jackson interview.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Joins Good Morning America
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Talk Shows, ABC, Gossip, Video,
Survivor: The Australian Outback contestant and View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is signing on to Good Morning America as a contributor. Hasselbeck is famous for her rigid right-wing approach to issues on The View, though she does not label herself as conservative.
Hasselbeck will cover “hot-button family, lifestyle and child-rearing issues.” Her first report, which looks like a real barn-burner, will cover the hot-button trend of parent-child tattoos. It airs on Monday.
In addition to her reality TV experience, Hasselbeck has a Fine Arts degree from Boston College and notorious GOP leanings … which definitely makes her qualified to cover news-related issues important to American families.

Although it’s been days since Rick Sanchez made unflattering remarks about Jon Stewart (and his own CNN bosses), we had to wait until Monday night to hear Stewart’s response to the controversy.
Despite being called a “bigot,” The Daily Show host feigned excitement about being mentioned by the (former) CNN anchor. “Rick Sanchez knows my name!” he squealed.
Stewart even gave props to Rick—who claimed Jon “grew up in a suburban, middle-class New Jersey home with everything that you could every imagine”—for really nailing “what is was like growing up in Central Jersey in the early seventies. The fortunate son of a single mother in the education field.”
