Jon and Stephen are my signals that it's time to get to bed and turn on the TV and listen to them for an hour and then go to sleep.

Without them I'm stuck with family guy re-runs on Adult Swim.

I wonder if, instead of running reruns, they could just reach into the wayback machine and put together 30 minutes (well, 22 with commercials?) of Moments of Zen (For Stewart) and maybe use Colbert's Word segments. They must have 1000s of minutes of those in the bank so they could put them together and we get something we haven't seen in a while but is usually funny.

I understand the need to stay topical for a news show but nobody hardly watches the reruns anyway do they? They are almost always from the very recent past and I stay caught up on TDS and TCR so whatever they show I JUST saw it. But a montage of moments would interest me enough that'd I'd skip Peter Griffin fighting a chicken for the 211th time and remember the zenny goodness.

Comedy Central has even done with the pretext of running re-runs of Daily Show and Colbert Report because they have opted for more racier shows to fill in the Jon Stewart and Colbert hour. Had Jon been on the air he would have provided pretty good response to Romney's verbatim FIVE TV NETWORKS interviews on 7/13/12:

On Friday the 13th (7/13/2012) the very illusive Mitt Romney gave very defensive interviews to all FIVE networks on a single day at once!! Just a few days ago Mitt Romney said to FOX News that explaining means that you are WEAK. So his five interviews "explaining" his time at Bain were signs of his weakness!!

Presidential Candidate Mr. Mitt Romney maybe feeling the heat on his role in BAIN Capital, his business experience which was supposed to be his sole criteria for creating jobs and his greatest qualification for running for the American Presidency in the current economy in 2012!

However SEC documents show Mitt Romney as sole owner of all shares of Bain Capital. Romney is shown as CEO, President and Chairman of Board of Bain Capital in 2001 and 2002 then LEGALLY speaking Mitt Romney has been responsible to all that goes on under the banner of Bain Capital.

Mitt Romney can not just share the good like job creation from 1999 to 2002 and leave the ugly like Bankruptcies and layoffs behind as if he had nothing to do about them from 1999 to 2002.

If he really wanted to disassociate himself from Bain Capital he could have resigned and sold all his shares in Bain Capital in February 1999 then it would have been a different matter but to share in the glory of Bain's job creation accept a salary of $100,000 or MORE (where are the Tax Returns?) for three years and only to refuse to take the responsibility of Bankruptcies and layoffs on his WATCH (1999-2002) is trying to have it both ways and then complaining of playing politics having been caught with his hand in the proverbial Cookie Jar that is the very essence of an ACTIVE LEGAL ROLE in Bain Capital till 2002!! Was Romney getting $100,000.00 or more to do NOTHING for BAIN Capital???

Mitt Romney will have to face the consequences of this leaving Bain "lie" that Mitt Romney has brought on upon himself. If we keep reminding the Romney campaign of the Bain exit lie and Romney's ill effects on workers robbing them of their hard earned salaries and life long benefits all the way to November then 7/13/2012 (FRIDAY the 13th) will go down as the turning point of the 2012 Presidential election!

Had Jon Stewart was not on leave he would have definitely replied to Romney's FIVE NETWORK interviews in Friday the 13th 2012:
