I cannot remember the last time The Daily Show had such a completely random plug for an irrelevant product. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than cool with the B-52s, but having Fred Schneider come in to jazz up Scott McClellan's audio book was strange. Did the writers come up with this joke and then ask, "Wouldn't it be awesome if we got James Earl Jones to read this? And if not him, the B-52s guy?" or did they have to work around some way to have a B-52s plug in there? Curious. They could have just used their fake R. Kelly to sing it, since that is already a running joke. Also, when Jon Stewart called out for "Schneider", I was expecting Rob Schneider. An appearance from him may have made a little more sense, as he doesn't seem to have anything better to do when he's not doing bit roles for Adam Sandler, anyway.TV Squad Hot Topics
