Jon Stewart Is the Star Wars Toy We Were Looking For

I think all Star Wars fans can agree, the most exciting and awesome scenes in all the films were the interminable political senate hearings in the second trilogy. My favorite is pretending all the weird aliens are just a race of Joe Liebermans. So it makes sense that Jon Stewart, with his political savvy, would be chosen to interview George Lucas on stage at Star Wars Celebration V

in Disney World.

The best part is that George Lucas presented Jon with an action figure of a "Stewart trooper," a storm trooper with Jon's head.

As you can see the figure is awesome. It's in the old school packaging. It's specifically from The Empire Strikes Back, the best film of the series and arguably the Citizen Kane of films where puppets help fight space rebellions. And it comes with three replaceable heads. That's two more than the real Jon Stewart has!

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.

The action figure switches between a clean shaven Jon and a goateed Jon, as well as a third generic Storm Trooper head.

As a special bonus, here's a video clip from the time George Lucas appeared on The Daily Show.

Will Ferrell Utilizes the Daily Show Space

On last night's Daily Show, Will Ferrell came by to promote his new movie The Other Guys. It was something like his 83rd appearance on the show, and as always, it was a delight. Rob Riggle showed up for a minute, and at the end Will and Jon even arm-rassled. As far as physical confrontations between great comedians go, it was almost as cool as that time Jackie Gleason gave George Burns a pink-belly.

The Daily Show's Best Hanukkah Moments

As a midwestern asshole, my understanding of Hanukkah is based solely on the obligatory things they threw into our grade school holiday pageants to make them appear ecumenical. Posted by matt tobey :

Basically candles and dreidels. Which is bad, but spellcheck doesn't even recognize the word dreidel, so who's the jerk now? Luckily, it turns out there are a couple Jews who work on The Daily Show. Who knew? So maybe spellcheck and I can learn a thing or two from this video.
