No it's not. I've seen The Daily Show. It's a live audience.
Doug^^^CB: You mean they don't hold up'"applause" and "laugh" signs ? Actually, I just heard the jokeon a clip on McNeil Leher, because Gwen whatshername was there with Stewart. Didn't sound like the audience laughed much at the "joke". They were more like"huh ?, twitter, gurgle,yeah that's a good idea !"Recite it to yourself. Does it make you laugh ? Tell it to five people you run into on the street. I bet they don't laugh.Nobody said "that's funny" or "ridiculous" when Julio proposed itas I recall. ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
