This segment was just uploaded to the archives of the Comedy Channel’s “The Daily Show” — a younger, thinner Jon Stewart in 1999 giving his usual irreverent take on the news.
This time, Stewart was poking fun at Route 66, after President Clinton signed legislation that created the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program.
Nearly 10 years later, the program will likely be renewed in the coming weeks. So Stewart will have new material, in addition to a new president.
That was pretty funny. I guess Jon doesn’t “get it.”
Or his writers didn’t, at least.
