THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART MINI-MARATHON
August 6, 2015  | By David Bianculli

Comedy Central, 12:09 p.m. ET

 
Part of today’s Jon Stewart farewell celebration is Comedy Central’s scheduling today of some of the vintage Daily Show programs it’s been streaming live all month on its website. You can catch up on this week’s programs to date beginning at 10:28 a.m. ET, and watch or revisit Stewart’s last-lap visits with Amy Schumer, Denis Leary and Louis C.K., respectively. But the true retrospective begins shortly after noon ET, when Comedy Central repeats the very first Stewart-hosted Daily Show, taking over for Craig Kilborn in 1999. (Michael J. Fox, pictured with Stewart, is the guest, and Stephen Colbert one of the correspondents.) Eight hours of additional highlights from Stewart’s tenure follow. Ones especially worthy of viewing, and recording: His first interview in 2013, with young activist Malala Yousafzai (1:51 p.m. ET); his first post-9/11 show in 2001 (2:58 p.m. ET); a 2011 visit by Bill Moyers (5:08 p.m. ET); friendly duels with Bill O’Reilly (in 2014) and Mike Huckabee (from 2010), back-to-back starting at 5:38 p.m. ET; and, perhaps the best of them all, Stewart’s 2009 duel with Jim Cramer (7:52 p.m. ET). And later tonight, of course, is the big finale…
