In the wake of the release of eight years of Daily Show clips onto the internet, Joystiq has done us the great favour of tracking down almost every game reference during the show's run. Check out the embedded videos to see John Stewart talk Pac-man in Baghdad, Ice Cube's enthusiasm for the Dreamcast, and Lewis Black's take on DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball

Mark Hamill during the Craig Kilborn days

One of my most vivid memories of the Daily Show was when Mark Hamill came to promote "Wing Commander IV" -- Ok, I know the game sucked, but the cool thing about that interview was Craig asking Mark about his role as the voice of the Joker on Batman: The Animated Series. Mark talked about how he auditioned. He looked at the concept art for the character and the thing he noticed was the smile. At that point, Mark's face broke out in an incredibly eerie grin and he started that haunting laugh. It was creepy... and, what can I say, it was awesome. It really didn't seem like that laugh should be coming from him.
