Why Did Comedy Central Move the Daily Show Rerun An Hour Later?

i didn't see it last night--but i'm guessing it was on at 1am central last night also. why? midnight central time was the perfect spot for it.

1. Both TDS and TCR are on vacation.

It seems Comedy Central plays around with the schedule when they're on break.

2. oh...so it's a "real" rerun? not a show from earlier tonight?

now i'm disappointed. blah. i probably won't watch it.

3. They repeated shows from Convention weeks. n/t

4. I don't think they should be allowed to take vacations during an election year.

Who do they think they are, COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS???? Stewart and Colbert have an ACTUAL RESPONSIBILITY to keep me from pulling out my own hair and eating it with arugula sauce!

6. These guys are on vacation more than they work.

Sweet gig.

7. I don't know about his Jewish Friend, but Dr. Colbert works vert hard. n/t

5. probably because it's reruns of reruns...

and they likely have research saying that Futurama gets higher ratings than early morning reruns of old Daily Show episodes.

1am EST is perfect, as you said--which is why they're giving it to Futurama until they have new Daily Show episodes to show. ;-)
