The Daily Show/Trivia


 * The Cast Showoff: Somehow, even this show can do that. The 6 October 2009 episode features Larry Wilmore doing some pretty awesome (if fairly standard) card tricks while discussing how to play the race card. Who knew he was a magician?
 * Which means...Uh-oh...
 * Lampshaded where Jon says that the only reason Larry is doing this segment is to show off the magic tricks he's been trying to get on the show. Larry responds... by playing the race card.
 * Cowboy Bebop at His Computer: Even Jon doesn't get it right all the time, such as his interview with David Barton about Barton's book on Thomas Jefferson being a strong Christian. Despite the Jefferson Bible being the one where all supernatural elements are removed, Jon never calls Barton out for blatant lying.
 * Name's the Same: Don't confuse the host, Jon Stewart, with the Justice League character John Stewart.
 * Or the late folk singer John Stewart.
 * Or the Carolina Panthers running back Johnathan Stewart.
 * Jon is the host of the show. John, on the other hand, is the British correspondent (and occasional host). Close enough. People sometimes misspell their names, which can cause some confusion.
 * The Pete Best: Remember when Craig Kilborn was the host? Yeah, me neither.
 * Remember?! I'm still waiting to come back from hiatus!
 * Romance on the Set: Samantha Bee and Jason Jones are married.
 * Throw It In: Most of the time, if Jon starts laughing, the segment just keeps going. Some guests (and even other reporters) go out of their way to force a laugh out of him.
