Daily Show Spoofs Election Results: Stewart and Colbert Hilarious

As the county headed out to vote yesterday, two of the funniest guys took their places in an historical moment. John Stewart and Steven Colbert were hilarious last night. The mock news anchors came together to represent both the democrats and republicans. There was a moment of calling the election as the show delayed its sign off and Stewart had the chance to be the news anchor he could never be. With Colbert pretending to be hugely disappointed at McCain's loss, John Stewart stepped out of his satirical guise and called Obama the winner and next president of the United States.

Both Stewart and Colbert came over the top with fake election coverage, mocking one another's attempts at gaining support from the viewing audience. Throughout the coverage Stewart continued to call the evening a historic one while Colbert continued to correct him calling it "an" historic one.

This is a hugely significant moment for the duo. Both having hugely successful shows. In fact, the popularity of Colbert's show may have actually surpassed that of the Daily Show where he got his start. They are both obviously thrilled by the result.

One thing that will be interesting to see, will be how they will go after the new administration without the bumbling antics of the current president. In the circles of good comedic satire, a goofball like Bush will be sorely missed. The one unfortunate thing about Obama being elected, is that he seems too cool and collected to be torn apart in the future. Both Stewart and Colbert will have to be on their toes to catch Obama's slip ups. There will certainly be great opportunities now for Colbert to run his mock Republican criticisms, of course he will have to make most of them up, as he always does. It will be fun watching where Stewart and Colbert go next.
