Books from "The Daily Show" (Current Season)

Books and Movies on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" - Current Season

Jon Stewart invites a lot of authors, moviestars and other folks to pitch their books and movies on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. But do you think you could find a simple list of them and links to Amazon on the Internet? No. Well, I thought that was really annoying. So I made this list.

New Season! This list is for the current season (#14) of The Daily Show. Earlier seasons are listed below. Also, there is now a list of the books featured on The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert.

Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right

by: Jennifer Burns

I am so looking forward to reading this book! I read Ayn Rand as an idealistic teenager and my thinking was certainly shaped by her ideas. But what you read as a teenager often lacks context - I can't wait to understand more about Rand, her place in history and the use of her ideals in forwarding political agendas. Fascinating!!

Links about The Daily Show

Other places on the net where you can get some related info

The Daily Show Community Site: The Daily Show has a community site. It has better access to video - current and archival - of the show, including better video players for embedding (though I believe all vids now have ads). But, they no longer have a book list. So all the more reason for this lens!
TV Squad's Daily Show section: TV Squad (member of Weblogs Inc. Network) usually has at least one summary per episode of The Daily Show, often more. These summaries include commentary on the interview with the author as well as links to the author's website or blog.
