From next Tuesday, ABC2 begins screening The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

The often outrageous political show will air Tuesday – Fridays from 7:15pm with The Daily Show Global Edition to air on Mondays beginning March 15th. It had previously aired some years ago on SBS.

It will be followed by The Colbert Report at 7:35pm weeknights.

That makes 45 minutes of biting US satire every night for those who are looking for alternatives.

Expect trouble.

  1. Unlike many of the entries here my preference is John Stewart. I do enjoy Colbert but Stewart’s humour is more my cup of tea. As for their irreverence of church, I love it, the mores the better. May the God-squads of the world suck up their hypocrisy & blind ignorance of the ridiculous nature of their delusions…

  2. Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert are great political satirists. The biased, vindictive mockery of the Catholic Church by Jon Stewart, last week and other religious topics (Jewish, etc.) by Colbert , as well, disrespect the mainstream religious bodies in their positive contributions to society, contributing to a destructive cynicism. Some of the bawdiness of the jokes in prime time are a surprise as this is a main channel for viewing by young people as well.

  5. This is awesome, also interesting timing, since Viacom is pulling TDS and TCR from Hulu (american site for legally watching various networks shows online with ads) on march 9, which is a bummer since im in USA till april, but i look forward to iViewing it when i get back.

    I presume this means colbert is rating well enough to warrent TDS, which is great news for an american fake news show.

    Lets just hope it doesn’t have the same tuesday morning issues as colbert does on iView.

  6. Thank you ABC! Picking up Colbert was good but Stewart is the icing. The only thing that could make my day better would be for the ABC to pick up the Glenn Beck Show as well… 😉

  8. I think this is fantastic but not sure if Stewart will beat Colbert in my eyes. Colbert is much better….!

    And just to add…… I get Colbert at 4.30pmWST which is 7.30pmEST on my Foxtel Satellite which makes it a heck of a lot better than watching it at 7.30 local time in FTA!

    Yipeeeeee!!

    At least some people are using their brains and mice to read what we really want!
