Was it really Dan Rather on the Daily Show?

[question everything]

In an awful wig?

[Gregorian]

1. Yes. And it's called a "Jew Fro". Haha.

They really pulled off a number with that one. Bless Rather.

Jon said Jew 'fro under his breath before going to a break.

[Fuzz]

2. That was awesome.

Can't believe they got him to do that.

3. Everything I've ever heard about him

over the years is that he's a hell of a nice guy. I met him once, and had a conversation - just outside the White House on the day Spiro Agnew resigned - as we each walked to our lunch destinations. I had lots of questions - law student - and he answered all of them.

He also had, I noticed, some serious thighs on him ....................

4. Wig?

U sayin' Dan wasn't hip in the 70s?

[question everything]

5. Well... yeah, he had long sideburns and longer hair

but I doubt that any network would have allowed that much hair.

I loved his book "the camera never blinks" where he described how a makeup kit fell from his bag in the overhead compartment on an airplane and how he pretended it was not his. Not manly enough.

6. LOL! yes

Stewart and Stephanolopous were discussing it at the start of the guest section. Stewart acknowledged him at the end of the show.

Rather's a good sport. Hope he files more "special correspondent" segments.
