Hail Satire! With Vic Shuttee

OCTOBER 25, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As Senator Jeff Flake goes full Mr. Smith and the Houston Astros play for their World Series lives in 2017, things are shaking up in the slow going summer months of Daily Show 2000. Lewis Black’s Uprising comes to a head in his quest for serious news, Miriam Tolan is embraced while Tom Shillue is scorned. And in the most calamitous of situations, Jon encountered the figure that may become a wacky thorn in his side, internet hacker (and incognito absurdist writer gone ary) LORD VIPER SCORPION. So much experimentation, it’s starting to seep into our brains. Shawn and Marlon Waynes, Halle Berry, and Al Roker guest, all while the Daily Show celebrates its 4th Anniversary Special with… penguins???

OCTOBER 17, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It’s an election year, but you’d never know it! This week’s theme is The WRINKLING OF AMERICA, which is a bunch of segments about old people – stripping, modeling, flying old people. But Lewis Black stages a Back in Black revolt, Steve Carell checks out the Harry Potter craze and Vance reports live from a hostage situation.

OCTOBER 16, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As we trudge through the summer months, agitation sets in: John Rocker, Elian Gonzalez and Realty TV rule the roost – and we’re getting way too much entertainment news. And only a few shining lights break the darkness, but break they do: Vance takes a trip on the 7 train to see the world through the eyes of bigot, Steve Carell maybe messes with a black hole and SNL star Cheri Oteri flirts with Pat, some dude in the audience. Cheri Oteri, Jeff Probst, Richie Sambora, and John C. Reilly guest with appearances by Colbert, Carell, Degeneres, Rocca, Black and Attell.

Vic is obsessed with his re-discovery of the 1963 comedy classic, "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and enlists fan and friend Scott White to help assemble a 2017 cast for the greatest farce ever put on film. Will greats like Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy and Stephen Colbert make the cut? Also, Scott brings his usual gear grinding to you with rumblings on snowflake stand-ups, youth dominated culture and being too self-involved to procreate. Honest and hilarious, Scotty Blanco never pulls a punch and may even make you think. Maybe we'll do this one-off again. Originally record September 26, 2017. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

OCTOBER 12, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As 2017 sees an avalanche of TDS alums finding success, in 2000 – its an avalanche of midseason drift. We bid farewell to God Stuff’s John Bloom and hello to Newbie Jerry Minor! Meanwhile Vance goes to Mars, Chandler gets elephant traumatized and Mo gets picked on. Plus, the debut of the Daily Show Delorean’s new name: Cheeks Mulrooney!

OCTOBER 11, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It’s Comedy Central premiere week, but Jon neglects to roll out the red carpet for his fellow Comedy Central stars. Nevertheless, Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla makes a splash with a very cold pizza, Mark Curry offers a great game show prize and Jon ogles Julie Brown uncomfortably. Plus, the debut of new correspondent Miram Tolan, a Milton-esque Superman and a very sticky prop beard. Jon hosts, with appearances by Carell, Degeneres, Black, Walls, and Rocca.

The reality TV seal has been broken on the Daily Show as Survivor’s first boot Sonja Christopher brings her ukulele to the couch, and a song into Jon’s heart.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! After a year and a half of bliss, it finally had to happen to Jon Stewart’s Daily Show: Our First Major Departure. Beth Littleford had been with the show longer than Jon, since 1996 under Craig Kilborn’s watch, she became the unofficial Queen of the Correspondents, racking up over 150 appearances under two very different hosts. With Beth’s sign-off, we also begins something of a new tradition – the Good-Bye episode, an art of closure Jon and company get very good at. As we endure the final bETh, we also get a peek at the Kilborn years like never before, with a piece from Nov ’96. Tracey Ullman, Kyle MacLachlan, Jane Leeves, and Michael Rapaport guest, and in 2017, we talk about the premire of The Opposition with Jordan Klpepper, the new SNL featured players and the Jimmy Kimmel effect on Health Care.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Long have we been cowering the dark, but now we see the light… the Rich Brown era of terra is coming to a decisive end. But that wiley trickster still has some havoc to raise, even as we begin the great pivot toward our big bad in Gov. George W. Bush. As John McCain demurs, Jon Stewart rallies! Frank Decaro delivers another great Film Review, Andy Richter is nearly poached by a very jealous Jonny and the confounding debut of new Daily Show regular Tom Johnson! Wendie Malick, Jesse L. Martin, and Betty White guest, and in the present, we discuss 2017’s latest health care collapse, War with North Korea and the NFL #takeaknee.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! In his sneakiest move to date, Rich Brown strikes back – merging our favorite part of TDS2000 (Mr. Steve Carell) with the unholiest of unholy traditions (THE RACIST DAILY SHOW TRANSLATOR), and our dismay shows no end. Thankfully, there are bright spots as Steve Carell goes undercover as a Pizzaboy, Mo Rocca el talkos to Hispanics, and THE AMAZING RETURN OF DAVE BLOG. S. Epatha Merkerson, Luke Wilson, Julie Warner, and Eric Close guest, and we learn that Jon’s name is Elian Stewart. Oh boy.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As more political guests begin to join Jon on the couch, the era of Just Barely Television continues to be shaped, this time by Senator Arlen Spector, who offers the prophetic slogan “On a serious note, if this show can sustain one.” There’s an oddball PBS Pledge Drive parody, an all-hands-on-deck Good Morning AM Daily and seemingly never-ending battle over some stellar footage of an elephant seal. Samantha Mathis, and Diamond Dallas Page guest, while Vic and Chandler debate whether to name their time-traveling Delorean after special guest Stanley Tucci. Tweet your vote!

SEPTEMBER 12, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It’s new graphics week on the Daily Show, as Jon finally tosses Craig Kilborn’s rusting “Headlines” bumpers. While it doesn’t zip the show into the modern age, they’re certainly more mature designs the show can grow on. The Stevphens returns, Jon Stewart has a heart-to-heart with his pop Patrick, and a humble Oklahoman named Charles R. Doty announces his candidacy for president. Ben Stein, David Alan Grier and Roger Daltry guest, as the truth of Joe Bob Briggs is revealed...

SEPTEMBER 1, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Jon Stewart and company enter their experimental phase and offer up the absolute strangest week thus far. Jon Stewart’s a zombie? Comedian George Wallace is sleeping with his mother!? HAS STEVE CARELL BEEN INFECTED WITH THE RICH WHO WILL NOT BE NAMED!?! Plus, will we ever seen the return of Japanese Happy Robot Fun Time? So many unanswerable questions, as Eddie Izzard, Kim Delaney, and a video chat of Wolf Blitzer only serve to confuse us more.
