Jon Stewart Snarks About Fire Alarm During NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams Retaliates

Video
» 32 comments

When Brian Williams reacted, handsomely and Brian Williamsly, to last night’s fire alarm during his NBC Nightly News broadcast, the first thing you should have thought was, “I wonder what The Daily Show is going to say about this, and how they’ll manage to incorporate an alpaca into this story.”

RELATED: Fire Alarm Interrupts NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams Handles Like A Pro

Host Jon Stewart had a good chuckle over how annoyed Williams seem to be over the alarm (which, TRUTH ALARM!, is a story we were among the first to report), and noted that this is “NBC News’ worst mid-broadcast calamity” since an alpaca assaulted Tom Brokaw.

Stewart’s own broadcast was then interrupted by an alarm… triggered by Williams himself! SPECIAL TWIST ENDING. Williams then offered us a glimpse of what Brian Williams might look like backing up whilst making beeping sounds.

    Seriously wish this site would stop spoiling it for we west coasters who have almost 2 hrs until air time.   

    You can say, ‘well stay away from the site at night’.. well, do you want to lose our site-hits at night due to this?

    I think not.

    Ummm…it’s a comedy show.  How is reading the headline going to spoil the jokes?

    William’s stance above the giant coiled hose eerily reminiscent of shots I allowed in college to cover tuition.

    Softcore gay porn ?  That’s certainly one way to cover your nut . Not that there is anything wrong with that Greg .

    The photos were sold to Russian mink farmers. They reported a doubling of reproductive capaciity as simple consequence of daily viewing… For the minks that is.

    You gotta love Brian’s poise.

    I’m glad this didn’t happen to O’Reilly and we were spared the yelling, spitting and cursing.

    How would it? He pre-tapes his show.

    But, you’re right, that would be funny to watch.

  • Anonymous

    It’s too bad that O’Reilly doesn’t do his show live.  ”This thing sucks, F%#K -it.   He then maybe would be able to get NBC type ratings.

    Williams & Liebowitz are both squirrely lamestream jerks.

    The heroism of this man will be celebrated in song and folklore for eons. His valor in ignoring a fire alarm while reading the news was breathtaking to behold.

    He endangered the crew in the studio, but so what? Where else can America get it’s news?

    Brian Williams has a rabid following among the youth.. who would have thunk it

    Did you notice the size of Williams’ head compared to Stewart’s?  It’s massive!

  • Anonymous

    You just responded too quickly.  There are more now.  Besides, it’s a bit harder to bash the Liberals or the Obama administration with a story like this so the usual suspects are in front of the t.v. drinking tea and watching The Best of Fox & Friends.

    Thanks for not letting me down GPD.  I thought that there was NO WAY you or the other Rethug trolls could possibly spin this story into an attack on Obama but you proved me wrong.  Or made my day.  Depends how one looks at it.  You are a national treasure.

    Well that is it for us today….

    (fire alarm goes off)

    Ok I don’t know…..whatever that noise is it’s not right…..I don’t know what it is, I’ve never heard that….

    - It’s just a fire alarm mr O’Reilly, everything is fine….

    I can’t do it! We’ll do it live! WE’LL DO IT LIVE!! F*CK IT!! DO IT LIVE!!!! F***ING THING SUCKS!!

    What did you expect? Every story is turned into an anti Obama post by at least one of the right wing nuts here.

    Off topic, best moment of the Daily Show last night – When Bono credited George W. Bush for his “heroic efforts” on AIDS prevention, you would have thought Jon was going to throw up in a wastebasket.
     
    Stand up guy, that Bono…

    They’re just showing their desperation. They’re scared. 2012 presidential elections are coming. They know their candidates suck.

    And one of them’s our next President!  That’s the funny part!

    With the current state of news being party propaganda, how do we know the alarm deal wasn’t a planned setup to give Brian Williams ” street cred” as a competent, unshakeable news person as opposed to a “pretty boy” teleprompter reader.
