Comedy Central pulls outdated episodes of ‘The Each day Show,’ ‘The Colbert Report’ from web-site

It’s a superior issue Jon Stewart is again on “The Daily Show” when a 7 days for the reason that episodes of the application when he hosted for the to start with time about are suddenly a great deal more difficult to discover.

This 7 days, Comedy Central yanked hundreds of episodes of the late evening demonstrate — together with other classic plans like “The Colbert Report” dating back again decades — from the network internet site.

Right up until Wednesday, ComedyCentral.com hosted a detailed archive of its satirical late night time shows, including episodes of “The Every day Show” relationship back to 1999, when Stewart took about as host from Craig Kilborn — episodes from his iteration of the present weren’t in the archive — and the entire operate of “The Colbert Report.”
