I wanted to share some clips from The Daily Show in the comments on my entry about Hillary Clinton so I went to thedailyshow.com website because they recently put up every episode. I realized tonight that there was one section of The Daily Show that I had been searching for video of for years because it had been so moving the first time and I wanted to see it again.

Sure enough... there it is..

Jon's opening monologue on Sept, 20th, 2001. 9 Days after 9/11.



I remember seeing it in the moment and thinking how amazing it was that he was able to be so honest. Everyone on TV was trying to keep a stiff upper lip at the time, but he just laid it out. The bit at the very end about the view from his apartment is the part that landed in my soul that day and stayed with me. Watching it again tonight made me tear up all over again.
