Microsoft already pulled from the Daily Show pool

by Annie Wu, posted Jun 13th 2006 9:07AM

Microsoft loves TDSWhen it was announced that Microsoft signed on The Daily Show contributor Demetri Martin for some ads, many accused the company of trying to copy the success of the new Mac ads featuring Martin's fellow TDS contributor, John Hodgman. Well, in actuality, Microsoft has utilized the talents of several TDS correspondents for quite a while now. Samantha Bee, Rob Corddry, and Ed Helms have already done various video segments and appearances for Microsoft.

Still no word on which company has called dibs on Jon Stewart.

No wonder my TV viewing time has been going down further and further, haha.

Although it could be argued that since their show lampoons and satirises stuff that by advertising Microsoft they are in fact satirising them. Or something.

Stewart and Colbert are reportedly more enclined to the other religion. The one with the fruit...
