Comedy Central's Indecision 2008
Comedy Central's Indecision 2008 is the special coverage of the United States presidential election to be provided by several programmes on the Comedy Central network.
Unlike the previous "Indecision" specials, presented only by The Daily Show (or The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, in the case of Indecision 2006), three Comedy Central programs will now be involved. The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and Lil' Bush will contribute, and are all featured on the official site for the special.
Clusterf@#k to the White House
During 2007, The Daily Show's coverage of early events in the election has been named Clusterf@#k to the White House, alluding to the many candidates that had entered the election race.
On March 3, the show revealed its new election desk, in the style of network news stations like CNN, NBC, and Fox News.
On August 26, coverage of the 2008 Democratic National Convention began, and the The Daily Show moved temporarily to Denver, Colorado, interviewing members of the convention. The following week The Daily Show traveled to St. Paul, Minnesota to cover and attend the Republican National Convention.
Don't F@#k This Up America
The Colbert Report has named its coverage of the 2008 election campaign Indecision 2008: Don't F@#k This Up America.
Doritos sponsorship
From October 18, 2007, the The Colbert Report started calling its coverage of Stephen Colbert's own presidential campaign the Hail to the Cheese Stephen Colbert Nacho Cheese Doritos 2008 Presidential Campaign Coverage. The Doritos sponsorship was a result of Colbert's character finding out that he was not allowed to use the Doritos corporate sponsorship to fund his own presidential campaign and thus diverted the funds to sponsor the election coverage segments of his show.
On March 17, 2008, Stephen kicked off a preview for his visit to Philadelphia to cover the primary between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, entitled "Stephen Colbert's Doritos Spicy Sweet Pennsylvania Campaign Coverage, Live from Chiladelphia: The City of Brotherly Crunch!"
