Daily Show Production Team Nets Creative Freedom

Posted by Zonk on from the stephen-colbert-deserves-a-hug dept.

gremlins writes "Jon Stewart, who recently celebrated his sixth anniversary with "The Daily Show" and was a rumored possible replacement to Dan Rathers, has signed a deal which allows his production team, Busboy Productions, to develop televison projects on their own. The deal also allows Busboy Productions to flirt with other networks when looking for a home for the projects. Comedy Central still gets the right of first refusal for any projects created."

    That's true, wasn't there some survey done not too long ago, showing Daily Show watchers more in touch with reality than others?

    The one Slashdot interview I'd LOVE to see would be a John Stewart one.
