"Leonar-D'oh!": Jon Stewart started with some important news about the upcoming Da Vinci Code film. He somehow managed to take advantage of the word "Cannes" and work it into a "Khan!" joke. What a geek. Anyway, loads of religious groups are really angry over the film, staging protests and hunger strikes, just like Gandhi did to protest the Gold Diggers of 1933 (this joke gave Jon an excuse to dance/twitch rhythmically to Indian music). Apparently, some albino groups are pretty irked, as well. Jon said that religious groups always get attention for their huge protests, so it was good to see albinos get their moment in the sun -- um...TV Squad Hot Topics
