The Daily Show: March 11, 2008 - VIDEO

Jon Stewart"Gubernatorial Malfeasance": As if to let the jokes really ripen, Jon and the gang left coverage of the Eliot Spitzer scandal for this night. Actually, maybe they just wanted the full effect of the media completely crapping themselves with joy, as demonstrated by Jon's Spitzer bib. Senior Legal Analyst Rob Riggle jumped in for what was, like, the shortest correspondent contribution ever, just to drop the joke that Spitzer's link to the prostitution ring was his penis. Come on.

They also talked about the hilarious/sad inclusion of the significant other behind the podium in all the public apologies. Correspondent Samantha Bee dragged her husband Jason Jones along as she made an announcement. This was incredibly adorable and really funny. Jason's facial expressions (and top) and Jon's uncontrollable laughter were priceless.

"Back in Black": Lewis Black stopped by for what very well may be the last "Back in Black" ever, because A) he is the master of all things sleazy and B) he's got his new show, Root of All Evil, premiering Wednesday night at 10:30PM. Of course, he talked about the Spitzer scandal, if only to make an "Sam's Emperor Club" joke.

The night's guest was Grover Norquist, author of Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government's Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives. Norquist talked about his ideas of limited government, which was just about as exciting as it sounds.



Moment of Zen: More Spitzer stuff. This is never going to end, is it?

Never going to end? Give them a few days to bathe in the sexual slop. He was Mr. "Law & Order" and even busted a prostitution ring himself as D.A. It's a heck of a story.

I liked Samantha's segment, but I wondered if the average viewer knows Sam and Jason are married. If not, then it may have been confusing. Sam did call him her husband once during the bit but they may have thought it was a joke.
