Viacom Unveils New "Daily Show" Site With 13,000 Video Clips (every minute of the show since 1999)

Media giant Viacom Inc. is suing YouTube Inc., but it's also taking lessons from the online video service.

In the ongoing quest to make Internet popularity pay, Viacom's Comedy Central channel today will unveil a website for "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" that's designed to satisfy the most avid fans of the mock-news show with oceans of free video clips.

Rather than providing just a sampling of the program's fare, as Viacom and other TV networks have done for years, Comedy Central is offering the works: about 13,000 video clips representing every minute of the show since its 1999 inception.

2. TDS has been around since 1996...

...first with Craig Kilborn, and then JS debuted as host in 1999.

I hope I can find Steve Carell's "Everybody has a story" clip from Mechanicsville, NY (from 2002). I know someone who was in it.;)

4. I'll second that...

...I have a couple of friends "in real life" who are like Kilborn and they're not funny either. I've tried to watch him and I was good for about five minutes before changing the channel.

7. "...a series of TUBES!"

I think Stevens tried to send 10 rolls of quarters thru the bank drive-thru tube, to no avail...:D
