Maybe you folks can help me with the explanation for these two unexplained mysteries from this week's run of  The Daily Show:

1. Rob Corddry is anchoring tonight. He's doing a pretty good job, carrying his "aggressive Boston frat boy" character to the anchor desk. He joked that Jon Stewart was "in the shop." So, what's the real reason why Stewart isn't there? Just to get a day off to take care of his new daughter? Or some unforseen emergency? Hmm...

2. Right before last night's episode, Comedy Central promoed it by highlighting a Demitri Martin piece on MySpace. But when the episode aired (immediately after the promo, I might add), they showed a "Kolbert Klassic", where Stephen Colbert interviewed people on either side of the smoking issue. What happened here? Did something about Martin's MySpace piece make CC nervous? Was it just not as funny as it should have been? Why did it get pulled at the last minute? Hmm...

If you have any ideas, let me know in the comments.
