Canadians: Did 'The Daily Show' just get censored? (Tue night)

[Newsjock]

Jon was starting into a run about Jews, Nazis, and swastikas, and right in the middle, in midsentence, The Comedy Network switched to a commercial, then switched back for a couple seconds, and then back to a big bunch of commercials. Now we're back to the show as if nothing happened.

Did someone in Canada get nervous about Nazi talk and hit the panic button? Or was it just an innocent "technical malfunction"? Enquiring minds want to know.

1. No idea

but it wasn't likely censorship in Canada.

We've had comedians do Prince Harry in swastikas

2. Watch a repeat of the show tonight or tomorrow and see if

it flips in the same place. If so, censorship. If not, things happen.

3. Yup, I'm planning to check the west feed

at 11pm PST tonight. So tough to keep flipping between him and George Stroumboulopoulos over on Newsworld, where he began his show by saying, "Tonight, The Hour turns 10. Don't tell Michael Jackson."

4. Oddly, Canada is much worse than the US in certain areas of censorship

5. Jon is Jewish

so it is really hard to nail him for being politically incorrect.
And he is a Big Boy who can take care of himself.
Could get interesting. Wait and see.

6. Self-followup: OK on western feed

At the 2am EST/11pm PST feed, everything ran in its entirety. So I can rest well knowing that my possible future home and native land has preserved the right of Jon Stewart to make bad swastika jokes.
