"The Daily Show and Colbert Report still aired. They'd just come out with The Office US edition. SNL was doing those digital shorts with that guy, like the one where he's just throwing shit on the ground."

"Jon Stewart's Daily Show was a staple back in the day for me. But after he dropped off, I couldn't watch any one of these other talk show hosts, except for maybe Conan every now and then."
