A-Carelling We Go

The Daily Show is off this week, moving back to New York from its DNC week in Chicago.  But I thought this would be a good time to play this segment from when Jon Stewart received the Mark Twain Prize.  I’ve posted video of the full evening before – it’s tremendous, filled with hilarious tributes, but if you haven’t seen it, or want to again, you can watch it here – so I won’t embed that again.  But this one speech from Steve Carell is a standout, so wonderful that that’s all  you need.

It’s a masterclass in comedy writing, comic timing and bone-dry performance.
