The Daily Show With Jon Stewart has won the “Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series” award at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards.
Late Night host Jimmy Fallon hosted the ceremony this year and he did such a good job rumours are suggesting he’s being lined up to host the Academy Awards early next year.
The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien has been nominated at this year’s Emmy Awards.
The now defunct NBC show is nominated for “Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series” against The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, Saturday Night Live and Real Time With Bill Maher.
Conan tweeted “Congrats to my staff on 4 Emmy nominations. This bodes well for the future of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien”.
Jay Leno spoke about the nominations for The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien on his show this week, saying “the big show business news is that the Emmy nominations were announced today… the good news: The Tonight Show got four nominations! The bad news: I didn’t get one of them… remember there’s no ‘me’ in Emmy”.
Saturday Night Live is also nominated in the “Guest Actress in a Comedy Series” category for Betty White and Tina Fey’s appearances on the show.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report both return to Comedy Central with brand new episodes tonight – the first new shows since the Christmas break. Both shows will now be broadcast in high definition for the first time.
Comedy Central’s US channel first went HD in early 2008 but The Daily Show and The Colbert Report stayed in SD. It’s taken a while for the shows to make the transition to HD because all the control rooms had to be updated. Broadcasting Cable says the upgrades we carried out “while continuing to put on a program four times a week”.

The nominations for this year’s TV BAFTA awards have been announced.
Jonathan Ross is nominated in the Best Entertainment Performance category for Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, and The Daily Show With Jon Stewart is nominated in the International category.
Jonathan Ross being nominated for an award has been a controversial subject for some people, because of the BBC Radio 2 incident with Russell Brand last year, leading to Jonathan’s temporary suspension from the BBC.
The BAFTA TV awards ceremony takes place on Sunday 26th April.
Bruce Springsteen stopped by The Daily Show With Jon Stewart on Thursday night. Jon Stewart is a huge fan of Bruce, and you could tell he was overcome to meet him.
In addition to an interview on the programme, Bruce Springsteen also did a fantastic music performance of Working On A Dream.
It’s very rare for The Daily Show to have music on the programme – the last music performance was Coldplay back on the 25th June last year.

David Letterman welcomed The Daily Show host Jon Stewart to the Late Show on Thursday night.
Jon Stewart criticized US financial TV networks saying “there are three 24-hour financial networks… all their slogans are like ‘we know what’s going on on Wall Street’ but then you turn it on during the crisis and they’re like ‘we don’t know what’s going on’”.
This continues on from CNBC’s Rick Santelli pulling out of his appearance on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart earlier this week.
This resulted in Jon doing a piece on The Daily Show panning CNBC saying how wrong it has been in reporting the economic crisis.
As the Entertainment Weekly website says, Santelli “is the CNBC reporter who became an online celebrity after an on-air rant where he castigated the Obama Administration’s housing plan for bailing out ‘losers’ who couldn’t manage their mortgages” but that “CNBC has explained [Santelli pulling out of his appearance on The Daily Show] by saying it’s ‘just time to move on to the next story’”.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart will air live on Inauguration Day this Tuesday. The show will go out at 11pm on Comedy Central, but it won’t be pre-recorded beforehand. The last live broadcast Comedy Central did featuring Jon Stewart was the Indecision 2008 programme on election night, which was co-hosted by Stephen Colbert from The Colbert Report.
The Daily Show won’t have live coverage of the Obama inauguration ceremony as that’s taking place during the day (you can keep up to date on that though on the Indecision 2008 blog), but it will have a live roundup of the day’s events at 11pm.
So if you live in the US, tune into Comedy Central on the 20th January at 11pm to watch live. If you’re in the UK, More 4 will air this episode on Wednesday at 8.30pm.
There will be live blogging on the Indecision 2008 blog throughout the show and also live blogging throughout the day of the inauguration ceremony.
