Daily Show

By Justin Fox | July 1, 2009 | +

I’m the guest tonight. Seriously. I’m filling in for poor Henry Waxman, who had to go to the hospital (he’s feeling better now, though).

Update: It’s all on tape now, and I think it went well. Stewart asks more intelligent questions than pretty much anybody on TV. And now for the information you’ve all been waiting for. The contents of my Daily Show swag bag:

6 boxes of Altoids (3 small, 3 full-sized)

4 boxes of Wrigley’s 5 gum

3 big cans of Starbucks doubleshot energy + coffee drink

an extra-large Daily Show T-short

a Daily Show baseball cap

2 Daily Show bags

a bottle of Hornitos reposado tequila

a packet of Serendipity 3 Frrrozen Hot Cherry Chocolate Mix

several gift certificates, including one for a free photo session for my pet (do they do guinea pigs?)

    Facebook Slammed Again Over Zuckerberg’s ‘Autocratic’ Control

    As social-networking giant Facebook prepares to go public, the company continues to attract criticism over its corporate governance structure, which is set up to give founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg iron-clad control over its business. The latest broadside came Monday from Institutional Shareholder Services, a proxy firm that advises large shareholders of public companies. In a strongly-worded report, I.S.S. called Facebook’s governance structure “autocratic,” and said it diminishes “shareholder rights and board accountability.”

    Are China’s Big State Companies a Big Problem for the Global Economy?

    The most important economic story of the first half of the 21st century is how China is changing the global economy. There are a lot of benefits to this change – hundreds of millions of new consumers to drive global growth, fresh opportunities for entrepreneurship and job creation and heightened demand for everything from American corn to Australian iron ore. But not all of the impact is seen as positive. Low-skilled workers in the West have already felt the pain of competition from China’s manufacturing machine. As Chinese industry advances, it will present an even stiffer challenge to the competitiveness of the U.S, Europe and Japan. And as the Chinese economy continues to develop, new threats to the world’s established economic order will emerge.

    There are still tix available if anyone is interested in going. Go to the Daily Show website. I wish I can go… I have an appointment. Good luck Justin!

  • bryanfromhouston

    Good luck. You saw what he did to Jim Cramer, right?

  • leighblue

    Good luck. I’m sure he will be nicer to you than to Jim. You are on the side of Jon Stewart’s angels. Shame we can’t watch it in real time here in the UK, but I will try and see it tomorrow.

    Your book still isn’t on the shelves of my local store here, but I’ll keep looking.

  • Justin Fox

    @leighblue: Good luck finding it! I still don’t have a UK publisher. I had one for about 4 years, but they lost patience with me and canceled. Now we’re trying to line up a new one, but everybody in London is so poor and gunshy at the moment that it’s a struggle.

    You can get it through Amazon.co.uk though.

    Well done and the ad-lib about the high heels was funny. Now if you can just get the Borders on Wall Street to restock your book…

  • Justin Fox

    @matthewtracy: Don’t get me started on &^%^$#$ Borders. They’ve supposedly got a big new shipment coming, but in the meantime every Barnes & Noble I’ve been to has it in stock.

    This is an indictment – the fake host of fake news show for morons is the most intelligent interviewer.
