Daily Show & Colbert Report Full Episode Player





Our Daily Show and Colbert Report sites have a special new feature -- full episodes!

When you arrive at each show's respective full episode landing page, the most recent episode will start playing. There are two buttons on the right: Episode Info enables a synopsis of the episode you are watching to pop up while the Share button enables the user to send the episode URL along with a message to one or more friends. The user can rate the episode with the "thumbs" system after logging in.

When you scroll over the bottom of the screen, a pop-up bar will appear featuring a Pause button, a Volume lever and a Full-Screen Mode option. The Menu contains the Episode Info and Share features found on the right of the screen, but you'll also find a Settings feature. This was created in order to optimize your machine for episode play according to the speed of your Internet connection. You can set it yourself, or you can use the Auto-Detect option.

The tabs below the screen enable you to browse by week -- the last four weeks of episodes will appear. The images contain date and guest info, but you can scroll over these images to receive additional show information.

A lot of the reaction has been very positive so far and we thank everyone for the nice comments. Let us know what YOU think!
