Comcast-owned internet media portal Fancast is expanding its content library through a partnership with Viacom. The upshot is that for the first time, you'll be able to catch full length episodes of two of Comedy Central's most popular shows: The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. While you can currently find clips of each show on the program's website, there's no way to watch a single episode from start to finish over the web.
Fancast will also be adding South Park and select content from other Viacom properties including MTV Networks, Nickelodeon, and BET Networks. You can already find a wide range of TV shows and movies on Fancast thanks to partnerships with CBS and Hulu.
Comcast launched Fancast late last year as a one-stop shop for information about movies and TV shows and a place to catch full length episodes and selected clips. At the time there wasn't really much to watch on the site, which made it little more than an IMDB wannabe. Since then, the site has filled up with a decent video selection, but the addition of full length Comedy Central content is the first thing I've seen that really sets the site apart.

Huh, wow, something Canadians actually got first. We've had full episodes of both TDS and CR for a while on the Comedy Network website.
Speaking of which, do American's have Keys to The VIP?
