New ‘Daily Show’ Web site to Stream Archives - Impulse Digital Media

Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” has launched a new Web site, DailyShow.com, that will present almost the entire nine-year video archive of the show.

The site includes over 16,000 video clips starting in early 1999 with Jon Stewart and the MTV Networks show. Earlier seasons starting in 1996 with host Craig Kilborn may be introduced in early 2008. The site will not include uninterrupted full-length episodes, though viewers can largely piece together full shows from the clips.

The site’s home page will feature the previous night’s episode, with clips posted by 8 a.m. EST the next morning — eventually at 5 a.m.
