Nothing's funnier than geek humor, I suppose. Tonight's episode of The Daily Show featured a segment with correspondent Rob Riggle on a mission to get himself an iPhone. When he discovered that the onsale date was tomorrow, he interviewed (and came close to beating up) Gizmodo's Brian Lam (of the Cisco iPhone fracas) to try and get a piece of the action. Riggle eventually admitted to Jon Stewart that he'd been out selling his body, working to earn the scratch for his iPhone fix. Classy.Posts with tag ComedyCentral

Plug in your iPods,
folks, there's new content in the iTunes Music Store. Comedy Central has added David Spade's The Showbiz Show [iTunes Link] and
Disney has added Hannah Montana (which is up to 143 reviews already. Wow.), which features one episode and one music
video [iTunes
link]. New
episodes of That's So Raven have also made their way into the store [iTunes link], and
rumor
has it that the current season of South Park, season 10, will be made available soon.Update: Even more changes! A free episode of Sci Fi's Ghost Hunters is available [iTunes link], as are video highlights from NYC's fashion week [iTunes link]. Plus, season passes are now available for Desperate Housewives and Lost.
Mind of Mencia in iTunes
I must admit, I'm
really enjoying the comedy content in the iTunes Music Store. This morning, Comedy Central's Mind of Mencia has been
made available [iTunes link].
Thirteen episodes from season 1 are available at $1.99 each, and a single episode from season 2 is up. Unfortunately,
there is no subscription option set up for this particular show.Colbert Report, Daily Show in iTunes
As of earlier this
morning (8:00 AM EST), there is a page for both The Colbert Report [iTunes link] and the
Daily Show [iTunes
Link] in the iTunes Music Store, though they still do not contain any available episodes. The sale of these shows is being handled a bit differently. You can buy a "multi-pass" for both The Colbert Report and The Daily Show for $9.99US. This gets you the current episode, and sets up iTunes to automatically download future episodes as they become available (up to 16 episodes). Think of it as a paid podcast.
Screech in iTunes
It's "new
content Tuesday" in the iTunes Music Store, and this week season 1 of Saved by the Bell [link] has been made available.
Screech on your iPod...isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse? Also added to the store's video offerings are the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit videos [link], some great, old Schoolhouse Rock clips [link] and a premiere episode of Comedy Central's Drawn Together [link]
Comedy Central bumps Lost for top spot in iTunes
Sorry, Lost.
Comedy Central's stand-up clips [link] are performing very well
in the iTunes Music Store. In fact, Dane Cook's episode currently has the top spot for videos. I've purchased Dane's
show, as well as Lewis Black's. They're fun to watch while you're bored to tears standing in line at the bank. A note to Comedy Central: Please add Ron White!
