A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

I'M AFFORDED FIVE QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL ONLY POSE ONE: Ten years ago this week, Jon Stewart began hosting The Daily Show. I think we can all agree that worked out okay, though ... oh, he was so young before it started!

When's the last time you wondered how Craig Kilborn was doing?

e.t.a. Clips of that first episode, featuring Michael J. Fox (thanks Jordan!), are online. Wrote the NYT at the time:

Jon Stewart takes over as the host of Comedy Central's ''Daily Show'' tomorrow night, but don't expect many changes in the nightly news parody. ''Except I'll be reading the news with a Yiddish accent,'' Mr. Stewart warned, and proceeded to ad-lib the day's headlines sounding uncannily like Jackie Mason. ''We're going after the audience that never got over the cancellation of 'Chicken Soup,' '' he said, referring to the Jackie Mason-Lynn Redgrave sitcom that made a brief and forgettable appearance in 1989.

But seriously, what changes does the stand-up comedian foresee for the show, which has established a loyal following over the past two years? During an interview in the TriBeCa offices of Busboy Productions, his Miramax-based production company, Mr. Stewart, 36, professed not to know where the show was headed. ''I'm going into this thinking that it's a great show, I have a pretty strong comic voice, and we're going to spend the first three months trying to blend those two things. It's not rocket science.''
