Can you believe The Daily Show is almost 10 years old? Well, believe it. Craig Kilborn was the first host on the show, starting in 1996 and being replaced by Jon Stewart in 1999.
They celebrate the decade on November 16th with an event at Irving Plaza. The concert will include Superchunk, The Mountain Goats, Clem Snide, The Upper Crust and performances from Daily Show correspondents, of course. All proceeds benefit 826NYC. Buy tickets here, and check out the above clip of one of the first commercials for the show with Stewart as the host. Ah, so many memories.
