Allie Merriam — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:18:47 PST

Brad Pitt signed autographs for fans last night outside the NYC studios of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. It was the latest stop on a mini press tour that Brad and his Moneyball costar Jonah Hill have been doing for the last few days. They taped an Inside the Actor's Studio appearance and chatted about Oscar nominations with the Today show. Yesterday, Brad spoke with Jon Stewart about their picture and the honor of being nominated by the Academy. Brad joked about the statistics thrown around in the movie, saying, "I only play a guy who understands baseball."

Jon and Brad also talked about the actor's humanitarian activity in New Orleans. Brad spoke about his Make It Right NOLA and the work they're doing to build sustainable housing for low-income people. Brad Pitt's charity auction came up, and he revealed that proceeds from the sales will help his organization's efforts.

Marion Cotillard Jokes With Jon Stewart About Germs and Her Comedy Favorites

Marion Cotillard was in plaid last night to stop by The Daily Show's NYC studios. She's out talking up her new movie after attending Contagion's NYC premiere Wednesday. So far, the Contagion reviews are great, and the Steven Soderbergh picture could give three-weeks-running box office champ The Help some serious competition. As Marion arrived on stage to chat with Jon Stewart, she joked about the germaphobe nature of her movie by not shaking his hand and only offering air kisses. She went on to talk about how making the film made her paranoid about germs, especially because she was pregnant. The conversation took a lighter turn, though, when she revealed her love of comedies and said that Will Ferrell, "is my god!"

Jon Stewart Compares Obama to Social Conservatives When It Comes to Gay Marriage

Annie Scudder — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:45:48 PDT

Fledgling Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has been using bizarre analogies to explain his opposition to gay marriage. At a recent campaign event Santorum said, "I can call this napkin a paper towel, but it is a napkin. Why? Because it is what it is. Right?" Jon Stewart did his best to explain Santorum's logic, saying he's making a slippery slope argument: "If people start using paper towels as napkins, what's next? Sleeves?! Drapes?!" But it's not just well-known anti-gay marriage politicians "defending" marriage. Jon points out that while the Obama administration calls the Defense of Marriage Act "indefensible," Obama's still enforcing it with sometimes cruel results. Watch the clip to see for yourself.

Minneapolis Replaces San Francisco as the "Gayest" City in America

Annie Scudder — Tue, 10 May 2011 09:30:30 PDT

The Daily Show stopped by our hometown last night to find out why San Francisco failed to make the top 10 list of gayest cities in America, and how Minneapolis got the number one spot. SF, the home of leather and business establishments named after bad gay puns (The Sausage Factory Italian restaurant, for example), can't keep up with today's gays who enjoy baking banana bread, shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond, and other harmless activities. Watch Jason Jones investigate this shocking development (slightly NSFW!).

Drew Barrymore Jokes She Doesn't Know Whether She's Currently Dating Justin

PopSugar — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 11:00:00 PDT

Drew Barrymore stopped by The Daily Show in NYC yesterday to talk Going the Distance before its release next Friday. She arrived in a bright purple skirt and army shirt but switched into jeans and a floppy hat as she signed autographs and greeted her fans on the way out. Drew, who had some harsh words for a nosy interviewer in the UK, was in great spirits catching up with her old friend Jon Stewart. The host grilled her on whether she is currently on or off romantically with costar Justin Long, but Drew refused to spill. She teased, "I may be, I may not be. I don't know!" Whether or not the duo are currently together, they're clearly close and have gotten cozy on the red carpet during their premieres in LA and London.
