The Daily Show - break?

[Roger Wilco]

I wish that the show wouldn't take breaks like this it can miss a lot of good material in that time.

If I've said it once, I've said it 100 times. The show needs to extend into Fridays and be an hour long. Both would be awesome.

And then when Stewart wants to take a vacation they can call in a guest "anchor" like Lewis Black, hell bring Kilborn back for that week.

CC could do so much with that show. It's already established itself as a major player with the media and current events so it's high time it steps it up a notch.

I doubt it's about going on vacation. I'm pretty sure that the concept of the show is very demanding of their researchers and writers. I'd guess they have little free time during the weeks TDS airs, and they need an off week every now and then to accumulate material for use during the week.
I don't know how important Stewart's contribution to the show really is (I'd guess it's significant though), but I would be surprised if he isn't in his "office" working on the show during weeks like this one also. It's probably just not sustainable to run the show 52 weeks a year, regardless of who the host is.

Stewart's also the exec producer of TDS, TCR and Demitri Martin's new show, I think. He's a busy guy.
