Sarah Haskins / Daily Show forbidden not-yet-canon OTP!

[timepiececlock]

Sarah Haskin's latest Target: Women comedy segment about Michelle Obama is pretty funny, especially the last parts. I have to say, watching TW tonight and giggling made me really annoyed that there aren't more female comedians on The Daily Show. The new correspondent they introduced on Thursday? He wasn't funny. His bit went on too long, his ironically racist impression of illegal Latino immigrants was too racist to be ironic or funny, and I just wasn't feeling' it.

TDS should hire Sarah Haskins. They really, really should! She's hilarious, she's likable, and she delivers smart jokes (that I assume she writes or co-writes) with style and amusing video graphic support. I can just picture her in my head, saying "Yes, Jon. I do take my Cheeze Whiz over lobster. With a side of neo-religious angst," or something. =)

Does anyone else think this would be, like, completely awesome? A match made in Rashaka's brain and in heaven and on your tv!

I've been saying this ever since I first saw Sarah Haskins! She'd be perfect.

And the new guy? Terrible. Trying too hard, and not seeming like a reporter or commentator at all, just a random buffoon. I actually muted him, he was annoying me so much.

After watching the clip, I fully support your plan!

OMG, the chocolate one. I haven't watched this series in a while so there's so many to catch up on!

"Warning: watching Sarah Haskins may lead to cynicism, alcoholism, and small amounts of Marxism."

YES. YES, I DO.

I kind of have an enormous crush on Target: Women.

^^; I have my own wish for a female Daily Show contributor, actually - Sarah Vowell. She works quite well with Jon, as evidenced by watching her four or five interviews there, and she's in general, hilarious. Also, a contributor regularly tying current events to American History would just be, in my opinion, amazing.

I agree--- but only if we get to keep Target Women.
