The Daily Show is News?!?

By Patrick on October 21, 2005 1:26 PM

FishbowlNY was tipped off to a great quote from Jim Watson and Jon Klein at CNN’s recent “State of the Company” meeting:

    When asked what outside show they’d like to bring in, Jim Watson and Jon Klein answered simultaneously, without hesitation… Jon said “60 Minutes” and Jim said “The Daily Show”. When pressed about the Daily Show and told by Myles that it isn’t a news show, Jim simply replied, “but it IS a news show.”

Feel free to ask for Jon Stewart’s opinion when he performs at George Washington University tonight.
