Pervez Musharraf, 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart'The last time Jon Stewart had Pervez Musharraf on 'The Daily Show' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on Comedy Central), he was the President of Pakistan.

Musharraf was in office from June 2001 until he resigned in August 2008, and he's been in self-imposed exile from Pakistan since his resignation. However, he has plans to return and run for president again in 2012.

But Stewart was more interested in the fact that Musharraf was president while a certain terrorist was holed up in Pakistan.

It was a very candid interview, and Musharraf gave some very direct answers to Stewart, who wasn't holding back in his questions.

'Secrets of Seal Team 6' Shows Digital Reenactment of Bin Laden's Death (VIDEO)

'Secrets of Seal Team 6'Discovery took us inside the 'Secrets of Seal Team 6' (Sun., 9PM ET on Discovery), but one of the more compelling moments of the special wasn't a secret at all. It was, rather, a visual presentation of the operation that took out Osama Bin Laden.

While the graphics in this presentation weren't even on par with the top-of-the-line video games currently on the market, it was enough to help us visualize exactly what happened during the 38-minute raid that killed bin Laden.

For the people devastated by the events of 9/11 directly, as well as the rest of the country and world, it's a strange piece of closure. None of us were there when the world's most wanted terrorist was shot and killed, but now we can say we "saw" how it happened.

Fox News to air controversial 9/11 movie footage tonight

the path to 9/11Fox Newschannel has gotten its hands on some footage from the ABC fictional mini-series, The Path to 9/11, and is planning to air it tonight. The mini-series, you may remember, aired back in September and had members of the Clinton administration pretty ticked off because the script essentially blamed them for 9/11 because they failed to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. Edits were made before it reached air.

But now Sean Hannity will air some of the original content on his program tonight at 9 pm. Fox got the footage by recording video of an unedited scene that producer Cyrus Nowrasteh played during a speech at California State University earlier this month. Fox will air the scene and interview Nowrasteh, with the reasoning that the American public deserves to see what the Clinton administration was opposed to.

If it were the other way around and the Bush administration had pressured ABC to change its script, do you think Hannity would still air it?

The Daily Show: September 26, 2006

Jon Stewart"Mess O' Potamia... Now with More Mess!": According to a recent intelligence assessment, the war in Iraq has actually heightened Islamic radicalism, thereby making the terrorism issue worse. "Remember, it's a US intelligence report... Take it with a grain of salt." I remember liking the Clinton/Lonelygirl15 joke, but I forgot what it was about because, immediately after hearing the joke, I had to explain to my oblivious roommate who Lonelygirl15 actually is (if you're clueless too, check this out).

Bin Laden's niece gets her own reality show

wafah dofour bin laden realityI think the requirement to get your own reality show is that you have one mildly interesting thing about you. For instance, Wafah Dofour bin Laden happens to be Osama bin Laden's niece. Of course, she's never actually met the criminal mastermind. She's an American who was born in California, lived in Saudi Arabia from age three to 10, and has a master's degree in law from Columbia University. She's putting that degree to work by trying to launch a career in music and has already received headlines for her provocative photos in GQ Magazine last December. The producers of the reality series say it'll be about her "quest for stardom", but they also claim she'll be bridging the gap between cultures.

Wafah Dofour has actually dropped the last name 'bin Laden', for obvious reasons. But, she also is obviously exploiting her blood relative because, why else would this chick get her own reality show? Sure, she's hot. But that's only grounds for a guest appearance on Fear Factor.

The Daily Show: June 20, 2005

The Daily Show castJon Stewart begins with the two most important people in the world: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Cruise has proposed to Holmes (at the top of the Eiffel Tower, of all places). They are now engaged. That was fast. Stewart reports that this morning, Holmes gave birth. The kid is now seven. And a doctor. "Because everything they do, they do all out! Whether it be meeting or getting engaged, they do it with intensity!" he screams, almost drenching the screen in spit. Surely I'm not the only one that's feeling that the only people making a massive deal out of this relationship are Cruise and Holmes themselves. Well, attention Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes -- We don't care!
