Today’s Moment of Zen: The White Stripes

In an unprecedented move for the talk-only formatted Daily Show, the White Stripes have been scheduled to play live there on December 1, much to the delight of anchor Jon Stewart. “We’ve never had a musical performance on the show before, not because we haven’t wanted one,” Stewart said in a statement, “but because we were holding out for a reunited Spandau Ballet. This will have to suffice.” Perhaps if the Stripes’ performance is a success, Jon can hold out for a reunited Kajagoogoo next time. The White Stripes just wrapped up a North American tour in support of their fifth LP Get Behind Me Satan.
