The Daily Show is getting a new home on the internet. After much legal battle with YouTube, Google Video, and other similar sites, Viacom has finally decided to let episode-crazed fanatics of the show watch it online.
“Viacom is set to unveil a Web site that will include about 13,000 video clips of its popular “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” representing every minute of the show since its 1999 inception, according to a published report. “
Excellent. Every single second of The Daily Show is now available, because everyone loves Jon Stewart. There should obviously be a mandate that every American citizen must watch the show. There is absolutely nothing that will deter anyone from viewing the awesome, amazing glory that is The Dai-
“To prepare for the launching of the site, 16 Comedy Central writers and video encoders have worked two shifts a day on the project since June, according to the report. Erik Flannigan, executive vice president for digital media at MTV Networks, the Viacom unit that includes Comedy Central, said one particular challenge for the site was designing ads that would satisfy advertisers without turning off viewers.
“Nobody wins when you have a 30-second ad in front of a 45-second piece of video,” he told the paper.”
Oh. Ads. Well then. Uh.
The URL for the future site is thedailyshow.com. - but don’t bother looking yet. It’s just a redirect to the main site. More on this pressing news event when the site is release Up and working!
