The Way Back Randomizer

Another cool new feature of TheDailyShow.com is called “The Way Back Randomizer”. Simply click the button, it scans the database of shows, and randomly picks one for you. Unfortunately, a bug had caused the results to be limited to only clips from 2007. This has now been fixed!

Wait, what time line?

One of the cool new features of TheDailyShow.com is the Flash time line navigational tool. It allows the user to easily select any month, day and year that the show has been on the air. However, you must have version 9.0.4.7 of the Flash player installed in order to view the time line navigator. So if you don’t see it, get updated HERE.

Why do you love The Daily Show?

One of the more interesting threads posted to the old board before it was taken offline, posed the question to users, “Why are you a Daily Show fan?” A lot of people responded with some very interesting comments. As we read over them, two major themes emerged in their answers.

#1) The Daily Show is better than main stream news:

“I like the fact that John gets people from both sides on the show so that we "normal" people can watch and make our own deductions.” -- mcptg

“…they present more of a viewpoint against both wings, making it the only network that really does seem to be fair and balanced.” -- davee47

“You watch his segment, and you know what the top stories were plus, you get to see him nail the politicos on their dishonesty and hypocrisy. “ -- wise42j

“SOMEBODY has to hold the "regular" news outlets accountable. The show points out details of real news stories that would otherwise not be covered.” -- hollycat

“When the candidates and the news media tout their message they feel the public can be easily manipulated. Jon Stewart understands the public can see through this nonsense and proves it every day on his T.V. show.” -- BarbJ55
“i watch the daily show because i CANNOT stand the mainstream news” -- mkat

#2) The personal charisma of Jon Stewart:

“I'm a huge animal lover, and so is Jon. Most importantly, he's intelligent and witty -- Two things sorely missing in society, at least in men in Georgia.” -- GaDove

“I like short cute Jewish men who make me laugh.” -- hollycat

“It's Jon. I used to watch sometimes when Kilborn had it, but Jon makes the show great. I think it's the Jew-factor.” -- fluffers

Just checked it out. I got all excited and registered as ElJefeGrande. I went through the entire process only to find no BB. WTF?!

Indeed, the bulletin boards went OFFline, when TheDailyShow.com went ONline. Fortunately for fans, The Daily Show Dev Team is planning a new bulletin board that will feature improvements such as:

• More robust functionality
• More pleasant, intuitive user experience
• Improved graphic design

ETA for getting the new board online is undetermined at this time. But for now, please feel free to use this blog as a forum for interaction with the site creators, and other fans.
