Jon and Stephen are my signals that it's time to get to bed and turn on the TV and listen to them for an hour and then go to sleep.

Without them I'm stuck with family guy re-runs on Adult Swim.

I wonder if, instead of running reruns, they could just reach into the wayback machine and put together 30 minutes (well, 22 with commercials?) of Moments of Zen (For Stewart) and maybe use Colbert's Word segments. They must have 1000s of minutes of those in the bank so they could put them together and we get something we haven't seen in a while but is usually funny.

I understand the need to stay topical for a news show but nobody hardly watches the reruns anyway do they? They are almost always from the very recent past and I stay caught up on TDS and TCR so whatever they show I JUST saw it. But a montage of moments would interest me enough that'd I'd skip Peter Griffin fighting a chicken for the 211th time and remember the zenny goodness.
