Hail Satire! With Vic Shuttee

2002 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As 2002 wraps up, The Daily Show wrestles with its identity as wars overseas ramp up and the Midterms come in like an oh-so quiet beast. With new players like Rob Corddry and Ed Helms finding their grooves as correspondents, can others from the previous generations survive - where does the show make time for the likes of Lauren Weedman, Matt Walsh, and Nancy Walls? Plus, as the elections come to a close, the show does a fabulous week in Washington DC and revamps the entire TDS homebase while they're at it. The big question is: with Jon Stewart remaining as host for the foreseable future, has a new era dawned past Death to Poochie? Catch-up on the last 6 months of the political comedy series that redefined a genre, with this audiobook special deep-dive presentation hosted by Vic Shuttee and Chandler Dean. Part 2 of 4.

2002 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY PODCAST, a rewatch hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! 2002 enters quietly, and eager for progress. Coming off the Patriots in Clown Suits zenith post 9/11, there are many more variables at play – what’s fair game to joke about? How comfortable is our rising star Steve Carell, and will Hollywood be calling his name sooner than we think. Are newer correspondents Matt Walsh and Lauren Weedman adapting to the show and making a significant impact? But no one can prepare for the biggest question: will Jon Stewart be snagged away by ABC? Questions asked and answer in this break down of the Jon Stewart’s four season on The Daily Show, from January to June. Plus, the Middle East and Catholic Priests, the debut of new powerhouses Rob Corddry and Ed Helms and a reckoning for the sexist media coverage (and a lamp shading of the show’s icky practice of limiting women in studio). Catch-up on the first 6 months of the political comedy series that redefin

SEPTEMBER 2001 - It’s a DAILY SHOW WEEKLY SIDE QUEST, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! What happens when you give an artist with OCD unlimited time, money and freedom? Mo Rocca may have gotten pretty close. Released 6 DAYS BEFORE 9/11, Mo is at his dandiest singing an ode to academia and his best bits through 3-odd years. It’s a magic ride and an unmitigated win for a man who deserves one. Let’s go BACK TO SCHOOL WITH MO!

APRIL 2002 - It’s a DAILY SHOW WEEKLY SIDE QUEST, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! A prayer for LEWIS UNCHAINED finally gets fulfilled with a full-on Lewis Black fields with fields pieces, a much funnier version of headlines and special Daily Show guests: Senators Bob Dole and John McCain. Lewis lectures a class of real students, gets a massage and talks to both horses and Larry King. There’s really not much more you could ask for from half an hour.

NOVEMBER 2001 - It’s a DAILY SHOW WEEKLY SIDE QUEST, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Nobody loves Stephen Colbert like us – from his verbal gymnastics to his sharp political segments, after more than 4 years on The Daily Show, you’d think the man would easily coast through a half hour best of. Eh, not so much. As we debut a new Colbert character and look back at the best of his bits on clowns, dogs and hookers… sadly STEPHEN COLBERT AGAIN: A LOOK BACK drags like a kitty kat hit with a bat.

MAY 2001 - It’s a DAILY SHOW WEEKLY SIDE QUEST, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It was only a matter of time – with Steve Carell MVPin’ it up, cracking out more appearances that any other correspondent in a single year and more than occasionally HOSTING the show – he was bound to break into his own celebration. And what a celebration! With original music, self-interviews and creepy awards, STEVE CARELL SALUTES STEVE CARELL HOSTED BY STEVE CARELL is both STEVE NAUSIUM and A TREND IN-STEVE. If life was EVEN STEVPHEN, we’ll probably get a Colbert special too.

AUGUST 1999 - It’s a DAILY SHOW WEEKLY SIDE QUEST, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! So far removed from 1999, this side quest seems like a trip to another dimension! The DAILY SHOW SUMMER SPECTACULAR is so damn goofy, who knows which way is up. And questions galore this side quest –Is Steve Carell going Full Squidward?? Who has Mo tangled ass with??? WHY IS BLOG TRYING TO KILL EVERYBODY?? With so little time, who knows what will be answered – but I do know that Vance ruined the ice cream.

MAY 1999 – It’s a DAILY SHOW WEEKLY SIDE QUEST, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! When the journey through Jon Stewart’s year proves too dull for the boys to handle, they bust out a side quest down the path of the rarely seen Daily Show Primetime Specials! First up is the show’s half hour VIEW parody, THE DAILY VIEW. Featuring a Vance DeGeneres mission to fit it, the girlfriends are gonna stop judging and start falling for that sweet sweet voice.

Early 2002 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As if the journey wasn’t long enough, we’re closing the book on 2002 with a little bonus coverage! Remember that time Jon left the show for a month or so, and the host-round-about brought such joy to the boys during 2001. Well, in 2002, we find out who was to blame with DEATH TO SMOOCHY. After months at Camp DeVito, Jon gets to act alongside greats like Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener and Harvey Firestein. But was the end product worth it? We focus on Jon’s contributions to the film that was born to be a punchline – the fine work of the 4th Male Lead.

APRIL 11, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! In our final week of the year, you’d expect The Daily Show to phone it in – far from it! Featuring some of this year’s most incisive interviews with Charles Barkley and Chuck Schumer, the field pieces are also swinging for the fence and lobbing a few homers. Stephen Colbert breaks down America’s new police state post 9/11 and Ed and Rob are giving us the XMAS coverage we maybe don’t deserve, but certainly enjoy. Meanwhile Jon’s focus on the Mississippi Mirth Trent Lott reaches new joyous highest. When most would expect them to be lazy, for once, this show isn’t!

MARCH 29, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Jon breaks out some key moments this week with a significant interview with not President Al Gore, and goes after the Mississippi Mirth Trent Lott and 100-year-old Strom Thurmond. But we invent a needless a shy Corddry, and spend way too much time marking our calendars.

Being a good actor is hard enough - but to master both COMEDY and DRAMA? That should be impossible. But a set number of performers have climbed the mountain, and found success on the other sides. Scott and Vic give out Gold, Silver and Bronze to the thespians who are truly multi-faceted: where will Robin Williams, Bryan Cranston, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Christopher Walker and more rank? Originally record February 27, 2019. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

MARCH 25, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! We wind down our year with a December full of Middle East coverage and plenty of engaging interview from both the worlds of comedy in Andy Richter and Colin Quinn and political media in The Nation’s editor-in-chief Katrina Vanden Heuvel. We also learn a bit more about Jon’s stance on the Middle and his dream of living inside of other things.

FEBRUARY 27, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! The is a yearning in the air, a lust for a new TDSW era, but perhaps not a step in the right direction. Steve Carell is all but dead as Ed Helms devours yet another staple with the introduction of Ed Nausium, and poor Lauren Weedman is so soon forgotten as her body double Rachael Harris assumes the chair alongside Ed for We Love Showbiz. But like Jon with Congressman Harold Ford, the have nothing to cling to but hope. So with zings at Fox’s Fair and Balances and a proposed Democratic rebrand… could this new set actually be perfect for slaying dragons?

FEBRUARY 20, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! With the midterms in the rear-view, Indecision 2004 is already on our plate with a tepid intro to future nominee John Kerry. But other than that, we’ve got Buckingham Palace coverage, more than a few Inferior Animals and worst of all: the evolution of Mark Your Calendar into Mark ONE’S Calendar.

Conversation #176, recorded on March 14, 2019. George Lopez has literally done everything a funny man can do in showbiz. He's hosted a late night show, he's produced award winning comedy specials for HBO, his name has been lent to THREE successful sitcoms - both single camera, and with a live studio audience. What's left... but to judge a dog show? Blazing a trail with Facebook Watch's new format of interactive entertainment, George Lopez is lending his puppy expertise to THE WORLD'S MOST AMAZING DOG with Housewife Lisa Vanderpump and comic Preacher Lawson. Plus, George talks about legends Richard Pryor and Freddie Prinze, pulls back the curtain on being a stand-up in the age of Trump and reveals his choice for funniest person off-stage!

FEBRUARY 19, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Impossible to follow-up our fun week away in DC with anything but a letdown, but man, Midterms must be so boring because even the show can’t hide their lack of interest. With two musician interviews and a brief cameo from friend of the show, Senator McCain – our live election coverage FEELS like a Sunshine Wait repeat with too much Florida coverage, and an oddball shirtless Colbert. Honestly, when the highlight of your week is a WTF Shrek moment, you’re in a strange place.

FEBRUARY 12, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! What a surprise, as The Daily Show hits the road for a week in the nation’s capitol to exhalant in the perfunctory nature of Indecision 2002’s boring, boring Midterm Elections. We have a Schoolhouse Rock parody animation (with Colbert’s dulcet tones!), Ed Helms is haunted by the ghost of Steve Carell/Saddam Hussein and the first appearance by the future Veep Nom, John Edwards (and man do we sniff that throne). Not to mention Stephen Colbert’s Political Improv troupe, the debut of Lauren Weedman impersonator Rachael Harris, and an AMAZING SUPER SECRET CAMEO BY A FUTURE TRUMP LUMINARY, KELLYANNE CONWAY.

FEBRUARY 7, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Such a slow week, but finally Jon Stewart has his Midterm Interest piqued thanks to Judy Woodruff fighting the claim that we should expect the lowest voter turnout in history.
