After a two-week hiatus, The Daily Show returned last night, and one of its first orders of business was to call out its own parent company, Viacom, for pulling the show from the Internet over its dispute with DirecTV. “What are you, China?” Perhaps in response, Viacom ultimately posted last night’s episode on the Internet. (Thank you, Jon Stewart). The video is below.
