Excerpted Transcript: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (03-11-13 A.D.)

Announcer: “Tuesday, March-Eleventh, Two-thousand thirteen. From Comedy Central’s World-News Headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

*Music Plays*

*raucous applause*

Stewart: “HEY EVERYBODY!” *spins his pen in the air and catches it* “Welcome to the Daily Show, I’m Jon Stewart.” *applause* “Today, we have a very special guest for whom we have made the bold, and show-changing decision, to forgo the opening discuss-i-tory eh… discussion,… and get right to it.

“Renowned technology next-stepper and recent frequent-headline-making corporation Amarna Industries,…” *smattering of unprompted applause* …is of course in the news again this week unveiling the flagship-product of the company’s exclusive deal with the Department of Homeland Security and Metahuman-Affairs,… a government bureau whose acronym is only one overgrown beard away from personifying the unquiet spirit of a dead terrorist mastermind…”



*laughter*

“The groundbreaking result of Amarna’s R&D tidal-wave over the last several months,… is our guest this evening. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the fruits of Amarna’s Project: Ak..hen..aten,... man that's hard to say *laughter*... six-months in the making, with a networked-virtual-brain who’s capacity can only be measured in something called yottabytes, the voice of the Human-Interface Liason to the newly launched U.S. Cloud-Security Grid and the world’s first, fully-functioning, self-aware Artificial Intelligence,… live via satellite-uplink…“Sky-Guardian!”

*applause*



Sky-Guardian: “Thank you, Jon. I am pleased to be here.”

*more applause*

Stewart: “Now, as some of our audience may have noticed, you do have the voice of Amarna founder and CEO Malcolm Reynolds.”

Sky-Guardian: “I do. Please don’t fault me for Mr. Reynolds’ vanity. He’s compensating for a lot.”

*laughter*

Stewart: *chuckling* “Well, I… you beat me to the punch. This is JUST like all those chess matches against my Gateway 8800 on Hard!”

*laughter*

Sky-Guardian: “I apologize, Jon. Minesweeper is a very comfortable alternative for those with no head for strategy.”

*laughter*
