Two big websites launched today for Comedy Central hosts. One is run by Viacom to make money, while the other is run by a political campaign. Starting with Stephen Colbert’s run for the White House, the “campaign” launched Colbert08.org so that those in South Carolina can download a petition and sign it so that he may appear on the ballot. To our loyal readers in South Carolina, you’re welcome for me helping you find out how you can save our nation. In other news, I will no longer need to use YouTube since every episode of The Daily Show since 1999 is now online at thedailyshow.com. As we reported last month, Viacom is launching several stand alone sites for their shows. There will be over 13,000 videos on this site when it is fully loaded, and more being added after every show. What a great way for a company to monetize their history and provide on-demand entertainment for users. Also today came the announcement that Jon Stewart has signed a deal to stay on Comedy Central until 2010.http://www.lostremote.com/2007/10/18/new-websites-for-comedy-central-hosts/
