In promotion of his new memoir “Still Foolin’ Them: Where I’ve Been, Where I’m Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys”, Billy Crystal stopped by The Daily Show to share some of his tales from doing stand-up back in the day talking of how he opened for Blood, Sweat, and Tears and played with some of the weirder acts back in the Catskills days, Lenny Schultz.

Please watch parts one, two, and three of the interview as they’re fascinating and pretty great.

Despite what John Oliver says, it’s been a fun summer watching him as an interim host of The Daily Show. Yet, last night, Jon Stewart resumed his position as host, but took a little re-acclimatizing to the job/the office/America after being in The Middle East so long.

Watch Jon Stewart’s return here.

Jon Stewart Is Now the Highest Paid Host in Late Night

Is this headline truly surprising to anyone?

If having your network get an interim host for the late night show bearing your name because you really want to a shoot a movie that your network has no stake in for the Summer, it should be a pretty good sign that you’re of high value to that network.

Also, Jon Stewart has made The Daily Show into one of the most reliably hilarious cultural phenomenons in recent memory, so, his pay shouldn’t be surprising.

While on his break from The Daily Show, Jon Stewart stopped by Al-Bernameg, an Egyptian TV show like The Daily Show, for a pretty amazing interview covering the power of comedy, his own preconceived notions relating to 9/11, and how few Arabic phrases Jon knows.

John Oliver Starts Filling In for Jon Stewart at The Daily Show Tonight

Jon Stewart goes off the clock at The Daily Show starting tonight for his summer directorial break and John Oliver or as Brian Williams refers to him, “some Oliver Twist”, will take over. 

As nervous as Oliver has made himself leading up to now, we think this is going to be a whole lot of fun. Don’t miss it at Comedy Central 11PM.

As John Oliver is filling in for Jon Stewart over at The Daily Show for the summer, Oliver is deadly terrified of what may happen and thus looking for any advice. While on Letterman last night, Oliver got Letterman’s advice on how to avoid talking about a movie while promoting it, which was pretty great.

In a related story, Brian Williams made a sincere gesture to Jon Stewart last night on The Daily Show to not let this “Oliver Twist” guy take over at the top and end of the interview.

Not that you would or should stop watching The Daily Show, but you should make a reminder that the hysterical John Oliver will temporarily take the Daily Show desk from Jon Stewart this summer and it should be pretty great.

It would be really hard to imagine that anyone would take a break from watching The Daily Show if Jon Stewart wasn’t hosting this summer because John Oliver is hilarious. 

This should be really fun, you know, like The Daily Show pretty much always is.

2) On the small screen tonight, there’s of course Louie on FX 10:30PM, but there’s also, of course, the Green Room w/Paul Provenza on Showtime 11PM, and Nate Bargatze on Conan on TBS 11PM, but let’s not forget the PREMIERE of NTSF:SD:SUV on Adult Swim 12:15AM (which is technically tomorrow morning, but who really buys into that)

3) Ron Babcock is awesome at making people laugh.  When it comes to birdhouses… well, it got him into this reality competition, which you should really vote for him (just give the video a thumbs up)

1) Last night, I went to the “scene” open mic in Portland at Suki’s and immediately thought, “Man, I wish I started comedy in Portland.”  Ironically enough, as I’m dropping in from LA, the entire Portland comedy scene, which apparently was in attendance, was saying good bye to one of their heroes Richard Bain, who is coming down to LA.  From the greenest-of-the-green-newbies to mainstays and respected figures in Portland comedy, everyone was there in support of Bain.  

LA is so huge, just physically, and many comedians are so incredibly busy with their own act, sketch group that has to put a video out weekly, podcast that records whenever it gets a chance, show or two that they have to produce and promote, that the whole comedy scene in LA could never be in full attendance of anything.  Yet, seeing even more camaraderie in comedy than the pockets of it that exist in LA would not only intrinsically make for better comedy, but would further dispel that image that LA’s a soul sucking town.  

So, yes, I’m saying that if you’re a comedian in LA, go see a show that you’re not on or go support another comedian without trying to get booked. 

2) Congratulations to Nick Kroll on getting the Nick Show Kroll picked up and Peter Atencio being attached to the Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele Project all for Comedy Central.  Also, congrats to Comedy Central for making some solid picks for this season. [via Deadline] 

3) Louis CK on The Daily Show getting Jon Stewart to beg him to stop.  Fox News, are you taking notes?

6) Speaking of Conan, James Adomian on one of his last days before going to NY was John Wayne in this sketch last night.  Speaking of Adomian leaving, you better be at Meltdown tonight to catch him before he leaves.

1) One question for seemegetfamous.tv: ARE YOU FOR REAL?

2) Many have you who are normal and don’t go out every night probably saw The Daily Show’s John Stewart’s heartfelt words in response to the recent shootings in Arizona.  If you didn’t, here it is right here.  Just note that Jon Stewart takes time aside from joking or any sort of political agenda and reminds us all that humanity still exists.  Still, parts of this are very funny (especially w/John Oliver).

3) The Arrested Development Movie is a ‘Real Priority’.  Finally.

4) HBO’s Funny or Die Presents Season 1 is now on DVD or, as they say, in “a box of crap”.  Either way you should buy it in stores or download it from iTunes NOW.

5) Is tonight’s COMEDY CRAWL always this good?  Why don’t you go and find out? (the answer is yes)

8) The Comedy Bureau “Tips Its Hat” today to PATTON OSWALT-“@pattonoswalt 5:43 a.m. Leaving Los Angeles for Fargo. (First sentence of Worst Detective Novel Ever)” Having attained that status of the general population knowing who he is AND finding him hilarious, Patton just released his own book entitled, “Zombie Spaceship Wasteland”, which you should definitely check out already having been acclaimed by such prolific writers as Dave Eggers.  Unfortunately, he’s next LA show at Largo is already sold out so check back at the Comedy Bureau for details on his next one. Twitter. Website. 

9) From the “You Should Have Been There” Lagoon: Jim Carrey as Conan O’Brien (I know this isn’t that “underground”, but someone told me that Conan was only a good show because of Conan and nothing else.)

10) Is “I’m still here” the #1 self-affirmation for comedians or is that just me?
