Book List from "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"

Authors and their Books on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart invites a lot of authors, moviestars and other folks to pitch their books and movies on The Daily Show. 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, here you go.

Also, there is now a list of the books featured on The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert.

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

The Daily Show launches Community Site: The Daily Show just launched 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.
