Hail Satire! With Vic Shuttee

AUGUST 27, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It’s a special Leap Day episode of the Daily Show, and there’s certainly a lot of strangeness going on. Steve Carell is giving a hand-me-down segment, Rich Brown transforms into a desk extender and the new Daily Show intern, Pierre clearly isn’t watching the clips he’s posting to CC.com. But we do have a DeGeneres family reunion, Jon asks the big questions and Vance sums up Bush very succulently. Forest Whitaker, Vin Diesel, and Tobey Maguire also guest.

AUGUST 26, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As Hurricane Harvey rocks a nation, President Trump is sneaking in shadows of pardons and executive orders. Back in 2000, Pee Bags are all the rage! Beth Littleford burns bridges, and Colbert and Carell are back with Even Stevphens as we learn the truth about the REAL Steven Caroselli. Snoop Dog, Charlize Theron, and Rachael Leigh Cook guest, and a puppet correspondent makes a surprising debut!

AUGUST 21, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As the boys pour a couple out for the passing of the comedy legends Dick Gregory and Jerry Lewis, there’s nothing too pressing going on in 2000. Gary Bauer and Steve Forbes have dropped from the presidential race, but the biggest loss there is no more pancake flipping jokes. On the other hand, the show steps in a big pile of DON’T DO THAT when they re-air a dumb Vance segment and go full-sequel with a revisiting of not-gay inventor of the Gaydar. Thank god for the guests Moby, Matthew Perry, Denis Farina and Ed McMahon – who rock this week. Also, NO MORE COUCH???

AUGUST 20, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Let’s not a labor such an important week –North Korea wants nuclear Armageddon and we’re offering “fire and fury,” Trump hearts Neo-Nazis after the Charlottesville rally and Mr. Alt-Right Steve Bannon is out of Washington and back to under the bridge. Whew! In 2000, things are also changing as Jon Stewart embarks on his first hour-long special all about politics with FOCUS ON NEW HAMPSHIRE 2000. It’s all hands on deck as Colbert, Beth, Mo, Vance and Nancy plunge into the primaries, scoring interviews with candidates, media figures, supports, protesters, 3rd party write-ins, and one future POTUS. Plus, a out-of-the-park slam dunk interview with Senator Bob Dole, our new recurring political guest. Jon’s really laughing and so are we! Jeff Bridges and Jason Priestly guest.The Daily Show Weekly: A Vic and Chandler Rewatch is an unofficial fan podcast designed to serve as a critic

AUGUST 9, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It’s a week marred by highs and lows – The Daily Show makes some really smart decisions like sending Nancy Walls and Stacey Grenrock-Woods into the field together for some girl-with-girl political coverage, including some facetime with Veep Al Gore. Also, Michael Blieden turns in his final Ad Nausium and while we’re sad to see him leave personally, it’s no doubt a good sign for the show. But there’s also a bit of content sharing going on – Stacey enters Beth Littleford territory with a wacky Rip Taylor interview, and Lewis Black does his best This Week In Hate impression as Tom Shilue plays hooky. But perhaps in the BIGGEST REVELATION OF THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY YET, the boys question their sanity after some shocking external news about God Stuff’s John Bloom and he-who-must-not-be-excess. It’s a world-shaker, so strap in. Also, a man drinks water via his penis. Nothing to see he

AUGUST 8, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It’s time for WHERE IN THE WORLD IS JONNY STEWARTO? He’s coming to HBO with his first stand-up special in 21 years! Also coming – whether you want it or not – is Stephen Colbert’s Cartoon Donald Trump Showtime series! And what about Jordan Klepper’s upcoming series The Opposition? Too much satire to devour, it seems. Back in the quaint days of 2000, it has got to be a lighter week than usual. Steve Carell and Vance Degeneres launch their new segment DOLLARS AND “CENTS” with douchy theatrics, and poor money honey Nancy Walls has gotta deal. But as so many correspondents get sent to the purgatory of “London,” while the show devotes full segments to Italian deli meat and MORE Y2K coverage!?! What is this, 1999? Time will tell, but we know we’re having more repeat segments than usual. Penelope Ann Miller, Frankie Muniz, Freddie Prinze Jr, and Jerry Springer, as JON STEWART RETCONS

AUGUST 6, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As The Chief of Staff takes a bath and the POTUS takes a 17 day vacation, the boys are back in the past taking on the century. We get an amazing visit for comedy legend Will Ferrell, Jon and Ice Cube share an affinity for the Sega Dreamcast and Vance goes deep undercover to explain why his lap dance isn’t hot & flakey. There’s certainly some garbage here – looking at you, Lewis – and Stacey mocks a poor struggling wannabe rock star. But maybe tomorrow will be a brighter day. Also, Michael Stipe is TOTALLY on the Bill Bradley bandwagon. Joe Montana guests.

AUGUST 5, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! IN THE YEAR 2000, the boys have made it past the graveyard of unimportance the new millennium! But before they go back in time, there’s plenty of 2017 sillies to go around: down goes Spicer, in comes The Mooch, DOWN GOES THE MOOCH??! After 10 fabulous days, the world lost the human Poochie and the comedy world mourned a star. In 2000, Jon Stewart is on a roll – he’s getting chewed out by Y2K Vance, he’s promoted Lewis Black to correspondent (only to have him visit a Japanese strip club) and Steve Carell delivers a field piece comprised of nearly 2 full minutes of just him laughing. Plus, will Stephen Colbert ever return from England? Cythia Nixon, Robbie Williams and The Belz guest, and Jon gets a very special friendship gift.

1999 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! After covering the entire calendar of Jon Stewart's first year at the Daily Show desk, we give status reports on the 21 correspondents and contributors that round out our 1999 cast - marque names like Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Lewis Black, Mo Rocca and Beth Littleford, along with lesser known stars like Frank Decaro, Vance Degeneres, Nancy Walls, and Paul Michael Mercurio. Chandler and Vic offer us their much debated Top 10 Interview Guests and Top 10 Segments, giving you only the best pieces of comedy from 160 very rough episodes. With a look back at the #TittyWeed era, and look forward to #JustBarelyTelevision, this in-depth Year in Review audio presentation will get you caught up and full of hope for the new millennium (if Y2K doesn't kill us all, of course).

1999 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! He started from the bottom (MTV) and worked his way up (slightly, to Comedy Central) – but after too long Jon Stewart (Playing By Heart, Elmopalooza) made good and became the most trusted man in media. How did this happen? The Daily Show begins in earnest, a depository of frat boy humor and cheap laughs. But Stewart, along with a team of talented correspondents that includes future stars Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Beth Littleford and Lewis Black, blazed a trail many would follow. Two aspiring comedians follow them down the rabbit hole and trace this satirical mainstay’s entire first year – and podcast along the way. This is a moment of reflection for 160 episodes of THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART. Features an overview of the show’s format, a month at a glance featuring highlights, lowlights, historical moments and the truly bizarre. Part 1 of 2. The Daily Show Weekly: A Vic and Cha

Conversation #160, recorded on July 25th 2017. Susan Silver is a veteran sitcom writer, known for penning early episodes of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, THE BOB NEWHART SHOW, PARTRIDGE FAMILY, SQUARE PEGS, LOVE AMERICAN STYLE and the pilot episode of MAUDE. In her new tell-all memoir HOT PANTS IN HOLLYWOOD: SEX, SECRETS AND SITCOMS, she reveals amazing run-ins with comedy legends Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, Mel Brooks, Bill Cosby, Don Rickles, Joan Rivers, Buddy Hackett, Dick Van Dyke and Presidents Nixon and Clinton. We talk Trump on SNL, the revolution of satirists (Jon Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee, among others) and the great funny females at the height of their powers.

JULY 20, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Yes, this is ridiculous. But after a full year of intense satirical news coverage, the boys needs break – or perhaps, a vacation. Travel with us back in time and to the left as we wind up at Radio City Music hall for a very Jon Stewart hosted Sesame Street spectacular, ELMOPALOOZA! We’ve got special guests (Chris Rock! Rosie O’Donnell! The Belz!), musical mania (Jimmy Buffet and Gloria Estafan?!) and a star-making performance by would-be Daily Show host David Alan Grier. As a treat to you, we hope you enjoy this absolutely bonker bonus episode, because we both busted our cummerbunds – and we’re going back for more.

JULY 19, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! After 41 weeks and 160 episodes, Jon Stewart’s first year on the job is coming to a close, just in time with the end of the universe and such (Y2K’s coming, people). So, these final two episodes are treated like a final exams – does Jonny pass, or (god forbid) are we gonna have to do this whole year again? There’s intrigue: as a potential plagiarism scandal unfold with Nancy Walls’ second segment “Turkish Delight.” There’s also some good old fashion awkward interviews afoot, with not-so-professional-impressionist David Boreanaz and the frequently mocked ‘poet snoreate’ Jewel. And, of course, to remind you that we’ve learned nothing: we’ve got Monkeys Humping. That’s a rap on ’99 folks – see you in the next millennium!

JULY 16, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As the year wraps up, Jonny Stew and company are still delivering those sweet, sweet goods – Comedy’s Saint George Carlin pops by to teach us a new word, actress Shannen Doherty “blesses” the show with her ahem… womanly sounds, and Steve Carell cements his early Daily Show legacy with potentially the segment of the year: the McCain Tour Bus. All straight talk, no filler – this show is starting to really hit its stride!

JULY 15, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! In a tumultuous first season of Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, there have been high highs and low lows. After Rich Brown’s reign of terror, it seemed pretty clear that the gang was content to spin wheels until the new millennium, offering up clip shows, sequels and garbage ala cart. Then out of nowhere: an amazing week of moments like this. We’ve got interviews with John McCain in the spin room, Steve Carell fighting with George Stephanopoulos, Paul Rudd in full Jon Stewart Show regalia, the debut of correspondent Nancy Walls, and Jon finding his unknown talent to hold a normal conversation for longer than 4 minutes with the watershed two-parter with Senator Bob Dole! Also, Rob Schneider shows up. Eh, what are you gonna do? Still, perhaps the best week of TDS yet? Only time will tell if Just Barely Television is an era of hope or disappointment.

The Daily Show lands it’s very first political interview as Indecision 2000 revs up, Frank DeCaro goes full bond villain, and Jon trounces his would-be enemy Michael Boatman in a game of Celebrity Jeopardy! The Goo Goo Dolls, Stephen Rea, and Laura San Giacomo guest, and Mo’s cat is named Kooky.

JULY 5, 2017 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Twere the tweets heard round the world, Trump body slammed CNN, then mocked Morning Joe’s Mika. But lo, as the decaying era of Titty and Weed comes crashing down to begat something new, something slightly less angry Libertarian – we see the birth of something closer to JUST BARELY TELEVISION. There’s plenty of awkward to go around this week from Vance in drag, Tori Amos going full 51/50 on Jon and Steve Carell sees first hand the terror of the bloody Civil War… reenactments. Lennox Lewis bailed on the program, but Christina Ricci, Yasmine Bleeth, and Bill Maher show up and Jon endorses a candidate for the 2000 election! It is probably not who you’d think.

The Drought of Importance continues, but with brighter flecks on the horizon! Whispers of ‘90s staples keep the boys alert – Seinfeld, Pikachu, Kathy Griffin. And there’s also an illogical number of spooky items for two weeks past Halloween, from a Dog on Fire/X-Files theme mash-up, to a very Steve Carell séance…thar be ghosts about!

Progress is shuttered, and dreams come crumbling down. Could this indeed be the Daily Show weakest hour? When the highlight of your week is Dave Grohl wearing a funny hat, you have to know you’re in trouble. Chris O'Donnell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Roshumba also guest, but does that matter.
