why ted koppel's a news anchor

now i know why ted koppel's a news anchor. i was part of the studio audience for The Daily Show with John Stewart last night, and hearing ted koppel live was like using cashmere q-tips to clean my ears. niiiiice, smoooth and silky. a gillette commercial.

having never been to a live taping of a fake news broadcast, i didn't realize how:

• small all the furniture on the set looks
• what a normal guy john stewart is the camera's on, when he oozes charm and charisma
• john stewart's not as short as i expected b/c i've always heard people comment on how short he is so i expected someone 3 feet tall
• that rob riggle is better looking in real life
• john oliver is adorably tiny

the show only had to redo one scene, the one for dark liquid. and, if you listen very carefully, you might be able to pick out the laughs of b and me in the studio audience.
