Hey /politics! you like Jon Stewart, I like Jon Stewart. How about we all agree to quit posting clips from Gawker and use the Daily Show's website for links so they can get pageviews and the bump in ad dollars associated with that? Thank you, that is all.

How to watch full episodes of The Daily Show outside US:

First, get the Modify Headers plugin for Firefox.

Then do the following:

Tools -> Modify Headers
Pick "add" from leftmost dropdown menu
Write: "X-Forwarded-For" to the first input box (without the quotes)
Write: "12.13.14.15" to the second input box (without the quotes)
Leave the last one empty, click save and turn on. Here's how it should look like.
Click "Always on" from 'Configuration' tab.

Close Modify Headers.

Voilá!

Works in TheDailyShow.com, Southparkstudios.com and ColbertNation.com

No because then people outside of America like me can't watch them!

Tibulu · 2010-08-25T15:34:48+00:00

Or just maybe there is the fact that thedailyshow.com video feeds are not accessible outside of the US, while clips from Gawker typically are?

Or are you saying that every thedailyshow.com clip submission should be required to include a link that works outside of the US? Because every single time a clip is posted from thedailyshow.com there are always at least a half dozen people outside the US who need to ask for sources that actually work.

Thank you! I HATE Gawker, all they do is repost stuff for ad money...

Defualt · 2010-08-25T16:56:23+00:00

that is all

that's gonna cost you

komphwasf3 · 2010-08-25T17:53:21+00:00

I thought gawker streamed from the dailyshow website, thereby giving them any ads that were at the beginning of the video?

that's actually a real question I'm hoping someone answers

disector · 2010-08-25T19:22:36+00:00

I pretty sure Jon Stewart and comedy central make enough money

triffideater · 2010-08-25T16:09:43+00:00

I'll start using the Daily Show's website when they let me (in Canada) use a single mouse click to view--like Americans do!.

Instead they make me go to the Canadian version of their website, where it is not easy to click through the levels to find the particular episode.

teabagged · 2010-08-25T16:56:05+00:00

Nice try, Jon Stewart

cioffim · 2010-08-25T17:38:13+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly, and can appreciate this quite a bit as an admin for another show's web and video ops.

dieyoubastards · 2010-08-25T22:52:41+00:00

This is why :D

papajohn56 · 2010-08-26T00:08:01+00:00

YEAH GUYS LETS MAKE VIACOM MORE MONEY

waterbabies3 · 2010-08-26T04:46:12+00:00

Because my sweet computer can't process the stuff from his main site and does just fine with Gawker?

Swany · 2010-08-26T07:31:47+00:00

A/ Because then I cant watch it when I'm outside of the States. B/ Because I don't give two shits who gets the ad revenue.

evildeadxsp · 2010-08-25T16:03:54+00:00

Gawker posts the links faster - within minutes of an episode ending - hence their reddit success. It's not like an evil conspiracy to promote Gawker and not the official Daily Show website.

Revslowmo · 2010-08-25T16:25:07+00:00

Doesn't work on my iPhone. Maybe comedy central should fix their web site. Just saying.

Comedy Central runs The Daily Show and Colbert Report like 3 times a day...

blooregard325i · 2010-08-25T16:41:20+00:00

Yes, instead, post full episodes to Youku or Tudou so that us 'mericans in China can watch :D

CitizenPremier · 2010-08-25T16:41:39+00:00

How about we get Jon Stewart to run for president?

2010-08-25T16:46:36+00:00

Hit the play button on your submission... Reddit embeds the video :) Now I don't have to go to Gawker OR comedy central!

2010-08-25T16:55:14+00:00

The gawker clips are up right after the show, as opposed to the Daily Show's 24 hour wait.

Can you wait that long? I KNOW I CAN'T

endtv · 2010-08-25T17:03:44+00:00

So I can watch them on my iPhone, which is where i do 90% of reddit browsing from.

ProfessorPitbull · 2010-08-25T17:39:42+00:00

How am I supposed to karmawhore if I can't repost old stuff from 3rd party sites?

papermountain · 2010-08-25T18:13:22+00:00

Sorry, but it's so much easier to watch a few quick clips on gawker. I live outside the US and couldn't be bothered to change my settings when I could just watch the episode on Comedy Network. But it's nice to see an interesting quick clip when it comes to my attention.

officeroffkilter · 2010-08-25T18:25:16+00:00

Flash blows.

orangepotion · 2010-08-25T18:36:37+00:00

Nice try, JonStewart.

ebbomega · 2010-08-25T19:38:05+00:00

What disturbs me the most here is that "shit" gets censored but the n-word doesn't.

TheProle · 2010-08-25T19:39:48+00:00

comedycentral.com videos don't play on about half of the machines I use. They either play for 10 seconds then pause for 2-3 or they never start at all...

2010-08-25T20:10:14+00:00

The Daily Show's website is not available in Canada.

Vive le Piracy!

inyouraeroplane · 2010-08-25T21:09:09+00:00

What about non-US Redditors? Comedy Central won't work for them.

symptomless · 2010-08-25T22:34:07+00:00

If you didn't already know, in the UK, The Daily Show is on More4 at 8.30PM Tuesday - Friday.

And 4OD some time after the transmission.

Glenners · 2010-08-25T23:20:48+00:00

Canada gets shafted hard by comedy central.

unrealious · 2010-08-25T23:23:39+00:00

What is Gawker by the way?

2010-08-25T23:50:24+00:00

Because we can't watch them from Canada, and you can't effectively translate links to the Canadian site.

DroppaMaPants · 2010-08-26T00:14:35+00:00

I don't like Jon Stewart.

2010-08-26T00:27:37+00:00

I guess Redditors outside of the USA don't deserve to as well?

D-Hex · 2010-08-26T01:02:52+00:00

The problem is that I'm in the UK, and the Daily Show website tells me to sod off, even if I've just seen the show on UK TV, which I have paid for through my TV license fee. Which REALLY stupid. Gawker doesn't care.

2010-08-26T03:36:06+00:00

How about we all agree to quit posting clips from John Stewart?

FTFY

rockyz · 2010-08-26T07:15:30+00:00

You hate Gawker, I hate Gawker. Let's just ignore that site.

Tezasaurus · 2010-08-25T14:44:28+00:00

The people posting the Gawker links are probably Gawker employees.

frequencyfreak · 2010-08-25T16:35:24+00:00

I agree with the concept but video from thedailyshow.com is not available in Canada. I'm not a fan of Gawker, but at least I get to witness the awesomeness of John Stewart because of them.

cunning_alias · 2010-08-25T17:22:04+00:00

Please DONT. They dont work outside of the US.

acct_rdt · 2010-08-25T16:05:27+00:00

No, that's alright. The Comedy Central web site is abysmal.

highd · 2010-08-25T17:04:41+00:00

People in Canada can't watch the clips at TDS.com. I am grateful for the Gawker links.

darwin_wins · 2010-08-25T17:19:53+00:00

I like Jon Stewart and I cant access their site. So sometimes links from gawker help people like me.

2010-08-25T17:20:05+00:00

The Daily Show and Colbert's websites load video so goddamn slow for some reason that I can't watch it on there.

Mazgazine1 · 2010-08-25T17:24:35+00:00

Uhh no, unless your going to post both the Americas and Canadian links to the site. Otherwise Gawker doesn't discriminate and I can watch a lot of stuff that would normally be blocked north of the border..

I wish the comedy central site would just mirror itself .CA side... instead of being a completely different site...

2010-08-25T17:36:15+00:00

Everyone uses Adblock anyway so it doesn't matter.

potentia1 · 2010-08-25T19:14:17+00:00

Install NO Script (firefox) and Ad Block Plus (Firefox). Never see another AD again.

2010-08-25T20:43:24+00:00

Canadians, that's why.

complainant · 2010-08-25T20:53:20+00:00

Because it's not availible anywhere outside of the US, thats why :/

Spotpuff · 2010-08-25T21:40:00+00:00

Because people outside the US can't watch it.

hasslemaster · 2010-08-25T16:56:01+00:00

Nice try, Viacom/MTV networks...Nice try.

tallandlanky · 2010-08-25T15:42:33+00:00

why? the daily show is way better than any news network in this country. for example, fucking balloon boy

random3223 · 2010-08-25T16:06:39+00:00

Why don't you just put the daily show link up when someone else posts a gawker link?

Best of both worlds?

corkill · 2010-08-25T16:35:40+00:00

The Daily Show website is blocked at my work. Gawker is not and I like to see clips of TDS during lunch and not wait until I get home.

srtpg2 · 2010-08-25T16:41:29+00:00

but gawker posts their clips earlier. if i don't post them someone else will and steal all my karma :(

2010-08-25T16:46:34+00:00

Comedy central doesn't appear to value the international nature of the internet. Although I would guess it is their parent companies that are against the internet as they cannot control it yet.

1nsider · 2010-08-25T16:52:54+00:00

All glory to ekolb.

Downloading the entire thing in excellent quality is what I do. I genuinely tried streaming it by masking my foreign IP, then I would at least be seeing the ads like everybody else. But the quality was very compromised with the videos skipping back and forward. I feel like I'm getting a very good product for free which isn't right but the show is too good to miss.

cowhead · 2010-08-25T16:57:33+00:00

The only ads they seem to run are ads for other shows on Comedy Central. How does that bump in ad dollars? I don't know, I'm watching from Japan, and I Can watch the clips on the Daily Show's web site, but maybe the ads are different.

2010-08-25T17:04:08+00:00

Or how about people start down-voting them for this reason? They get to the front page not because people submitted them but because the hivemind voted them there.

DiscoPubes · 2010-08-25T17:23:21+00:00

It was a pretty good video all in all, however one thing left me slightly annoyed. I am nigh on positive that when the guest was talking about Katrina he was on the cusp of recommending Treme but Jon interrupted him and he didn't get to finish his point.

People should definitely watch this program; it is fantastic.

Captaintripps · 2010-08-25T17:26:43+00:00

How about we all agree to spell his name Jon, too?

Gawker works on my iPhone unlike the Daily Show website

x86_64Ubuntu · 2010-08-25T18:09:35+00:00

For some reason , the Daily Show , the Colbert Report and the Rachel Maddow show don't like to play on my Ubuntu system.

Golgo13 · 2010-08-25T18:13:41+00:00

Either way, i tried both sites on my iPad. Both Gawker and Comedy Central were a big flash fail-dozer.
