Is the Daily Show on vacation?

[question everything]

Yesterday was a rerun - from Thursday, but still, a rerun...

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. We were wondering the same

[mucifer]

2. yes

[ovidsen]

3. Monday's "Daily Show" was NOT a rerun. Go figure. n/t

[HipChick]

7. I dvd'd it.. it was from last week also

[flvegan]

4. I don't get it. They were just on vacation.

Might be because they're competing with baseball playoffs??? :shrug: Seems silly to me if so.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Or perhaps either of the two hosts got sick

one does not run, the other does not either.

And I hope it is the playoffs, it wasn't announced though

[Jane Austin]

6. Nope, it's been six weeks - believe it or not.

They go off for a week every six weeks or so, three weeks before labor day, at least two weeks at Christmas, maybe more.

But you can count on it about every six weeks.

[flvegan]

10. Really? 6 weeks? I'm so addicted, it seems like 2 weeks ago.

I need an intervention.

[Jane Austin]

17. Me, too. They came back right after Labor Day

and it's been about six weeks since then.

(Ed. - forgot to capitalize Labor Day)

8. Letterman and Craig Fergunson are on re-runs too..WTH?

[question everything]

12. I have often wondered, about Letterman and Leno - when he was on the Tonight

show that instead of having guests, the way Johnny Carson used to have - and gave both their national exposures - they just have reruns.

[bobbolink]

16. It's all about the $$$$$.

Which is cheaper... reruns or guest hosts?

[BrklynLiberal]

15. Yep..noticed that.

[Jane Austin]

9. Last Thursday, Stewart and Colbert wished each other

a good break and one of them said they'd be off for a week.

[question everything]

11. Oh, OK. Missed it.

I thought that it may have to do with the November "sweeps" - if still exists - where the regular networks run a few reruns last week of October to be fresh with new episodes for November.

[BrklynLiberal]

14. oops. I missed that too.

[BrklynLiberal]

13. It would seem so...even Letterman and Ferguson have been repeats this week.

Is this some new programming schedule that we don't know about.

I am assuming Stewart and Colbert will be repeats for the entire week... sadly.
