When asked how she got her writing class VIP access to a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, writing professor and 25-year Philadelphia Inquirer TV columnist Gail Shister had one thing to say: “Shister, can’t resist her.”
Shister took her class to The Daily Show in New York City on Tuesday as a part of her “Television Criticism” writing seminar.
The trip, which Shister has been taking with her class for the last four semesters, fits right into her syllabus, she said. As part of the class, which fulfills the writing requirement, students recently read a book on late-night TV comedians’ influence on politics, in which Stewart was prominently featured.
“It was really cool to go see him in action, because I’ve been writing about him for a whole semester now,” said College sophomore and Melissa Schall.
College sophomore Sara Ehsani-Nia, also in Shister’s class, agreed.
“Everything that we studied came to life,” she said, pointing to Stewart’s studio and his interactions with the audience as examples.
The class met Stewart during a question-and-answer session before the show, and even secured a “Go Quakers!” shout-out from him on the program.
“We all roared with applause,” said Ehsani-Nia.
The episode aired Tuesday night on Comedy Central.
College senior Andrew Karter, another of Shister’s students, said the Penn reference was completely unexpected.
“My advice to our president [Amy Gutmann] is that she get a hold of that clip and use it as a recruiting tool,” Shister said.
After the show was over, students got to talk to Stewart, the show’s producers and some of the show’s correspondents.
“He was actually a pretty real guy,” said College sophomore Mark Kim.
After a talk and a photo op with Stewart, students went on a tour of the studio.
“We were treated like royalty,” Shister said.
She added that she chooses to focus on Jon Stewart in the course because he is “doing some of the best work on television, period” and is “one of the most astute political observers in the country.”
To college students, Stewart is “practically a god,” Shister added. “You say the name Jon Stewart to a Penn student, and he’ll follow you home.”

What happened to pop? What's
What happened to pop? What's become of it? Its story in the 2000s was, on the one hand, the story of its tedious ubiquity, but also, in another sense, its disappearance. In the 1980s, Paul Morley was an arch-theorist of a meta-notion of Pop. He expressed it baitingly and facetiously (annoying vcp exam heavy metal fans by talking about "hard" groups like Depeche Mode or declaring Tight Fit to be superior to Led Zeppelin 3), itil v3 dumps but also with a riotous eloquence in the case of ABC, bestowing upon them a magnificent surplus of significance which for many became a dimension of the music itself, not just a critique of it.Such were the times. 1982 was one of the supreme and exemplary years in which pop was where it was, with the more intelligent and entryist of mcitp braindumps the punk/post-punk generation ccna certification having followed a transition from monochrome to colour. It was the year not just of ABC but The Associates, Kid Creole, Simple Minds, Scritti, Heaven 17, The Human League, Soft Cell, New Order and many others, all of whom were engaging in a sort of trade-off in the marketplace of the hit parade. It was also the era of Joe Dolce, St Winifred's School Choir, Tight mcp dumps Fit, Lena Martell, but that was all right. These 350-018 were corollaries, as opposed to contradictions of the idea that these were great pop times. They confirmed, as much as did a Billy Mackenzie, the bewildered, laissez-faire attitude of pop's commercial gatekeepers. The sublime and the ridiculous, "our" favourites as well as Grandma's, all got through, much as The Stones, Beatles and Hendrix had E20-322 jostled alongside Ken Dodd, Des O' Connor and Pinky & Perky a g
