‘The Daily Show’ explains the Viacom-YouTube fight

Steve Safran March 23rd, 2007

On Thursday night’s episode of The Daily Show, Demetri Martin explained the battle between Viacom and YouTube. At one point, he stops and wonders if you are watching him - right now - on YouTube. (Comedy Central is owned by Viacom.) As Comedy Central is kind enough to provide this embedded player, the answer at LR is no, although you can find this clip on YouTube. For now. The segment has the potential to be a recurring gig for Demetri, who sends up news cliches in a bit called “Professional Important News.”
