“The Daily Show” Writes Other Shows

Saw this on Pop Candy, New York Magazine talked to striking writers and had them write mock scripts for other shows. The feature is pretty lame except for “The Daily Show’s” take on 13 other shows. A sample of which can be seen below:

  • Lost - It turns out the island is actually a peninsula. Boy, are they embarrassed.
  • Heroes - The power to keep track of all the new heroes becomes way rarer than invisibility or time travel. Seeking to scrimp on budgets, NBC rolls out an entirely special-effects-free spinoff called Bystanders.
  • How I Met Your Mother - The show takes a dark and unexpected turn when Ted’s children are conceived, but then aborted.
  • Pushing Daisies - Attempting to revive his strike-threatened show, Ned decides to “touch himself.” Unfortunately, he enjoys it so much he touches himself again, killing the series for good.
