A Daily double-take on More4 [video]

Longtime readers of TV Today will know that I’m a huge fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which airs in the UK on More4. Not only is its comedy hit rate far higher than most comedy shows, but Jon Stewart’s political interviews often manage to elicit more direct analysis of the issues than most current affairs shows.

I was particularly keen to watch last night’s show, where the main guest was slated to be former President Bill Clinton. Coming the day after Clinton’s appearance on David Letterman’s Late Show, where he seemed to be more enamoured with the Republican presidential candidate John McCain than he did with his own party’s choice, it was bound to be an interesting discussion.

Unusually, but appropriately for such a big interviewee, the interview started much earlier in the show than usual, so we got to see Clinton discuss the US economic situation (hardly grounds for topical humour, admittedly) before the ad break. Unfortunately, and as the Guardian’s Media Monkey blog also noticed, all we got to see after the ad break was the same part one all over again.

Thankfully, even though Comedy Central deny access to the ‘full episodes’ section of The Daily Show website if you’re outside the US, they do allow access on a section-by-section basis. So after the jump are the sections of last night’s show that never aired in the UK.
