The Daily Show: September 26, 2007

Jamie FoxxFirst of all, the Daily Show team must have been madly in love with that "translating gibberish" joke because that set up was way too elaborate, with very little pay-off. I'll just pretend they did it mainly as a segue to the UN Summit story. Yes. That's it.

"Showdown at the UN Corral": At the UN General Assembly, Bush and Iran's Ahmadinejad had a face-to-face showdown without actually coming face-to-face. Bush also seemed to get some, uh, interesting reactions from representatives from certain countries during his speech.

Senior Diplomatic Analyst Aasif Mandvi, looking surprisingly sharp, elaborated on the UN General Assembly. I quite enjoyed the bit about "the scary part of Epcot" but I also loved the poorly Photoshopped Ban-Ki Moon.

"Back in Black": Lewis Black returned with a whole new list of things worthy of complaint. First up was the new super-gay (and horribly designed, honestly) five dollar bill. Second, the CW's new "CW Now" show, which is just a not-so-cleverly disguised Wal-Mart vehicle, pushing the store and "Halo 3" for thirty straight minutes. And last, but certainly not least, the assholes who pretend to be veterans to get free treatment in veterans' hospitals. Putting the "ass" in "classy"!

The night's guest was Jamie Foxx, star of the new film The Kingdom. Well, this interview was quite fun, just because it was interesting to watch the two comedian-buddies play off each other's jokes. There was barely any mention of Foxx's movie, but judging by the clip they showed before he entered, the entire film is about two and half hours of explosions and shards of glass flying every which way.

Moment of Zen: No one cares to learn how to properly say "Ahmadinejad". Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that thought of Office Space. It's not that hard: Ah-mah-din-neh-jad. Ahmadinejad.
