Jason Jones Gets to the Truth One Joke at a Time

I've been finding the segments The Daily Show's Jason Jones taped a couple of weeks ago in Iran exceptionally enlightening. His visit with an Iranian family last week did more to reveal similarities between everyday Americans and Iranians than any high-level diplomatic effort could have. Using humor, Jones shows how ridiculous stereotypes about Iranian people are.

Last night, we saw Jones's interviews with the leader of Iran's freedom movement, a Newsweek reporter, and former Vice President Ali Abtahi. Coincidentally, all three of those men were subsequently arrested by the authorities. Check it out above.

To see last week's segments with the Iranian family, which is probably my favorite from Jason Jones's trip, read more

Do, Dump, or Marry? Jason Jones

The Daily Show faux reporter Jason Jones has traded in his green screen for the backdrop of election-time Iran.

The Daily Show faux reporter Jason Jones has traded in his green screen for the backdrop of election-time Iran. Footage recorded by the curly-haired hottie recorded for 10 days in late May and early June will air next week. For the segment called "Jason Jones in Iran: Access of Evil," not only did Jones attend a speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he also interviewed an underground rapper and a feminist blogger.

Some little known facts about the adventurous Jason? He grew up in Canada, minored in botany in college, and is married to fellow Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee. (We can forget that fact for our purposes).

Samantha Bee and Jason Jones Take Their Funny to CBS

I love when my favorite Daily Show correspondents go on to do other cool things, and so I was happy to see this story that Samantha Bee and Jason Jones are co-writing a CBS comedy project in which they would also star.

I love when my favorite Daily Show correspondents go on to do other cool things, and so I was happy to see this story that Samantha Bee and Jason Jones are co-writing a CBS comedy project in which they would also star.

Jones and Bee — who are married! I had no idea! — are also creating the as-yet-untitled show, which revolves around the world of a celebrity chef. Jones is set to play the chef, while Bee would play one of two women who keeps his cooking empire afloat.

I'd just been thinking recently that I'd love to see more from Bee, who's one of my favorite Daily Show correspondents but hasn't worked a ton outside the show. Same goes for Jones, actually, though he's going to appear on an upcoming episode of How I Met Your Mother. I'm curious to see what the two of them come up with for this project, especially since the realm of celebrity chefs seems ripe for comedy. Will Jones's character be more Gordon Ramsay or Rocco Dispirito? It should be fun to find out.

The Daily Show's Jason Jones Takes a Look at Starbucks' Closure

Full-Caffeine Eclipse

Not that Starbucks needs any more free publicity — which is what some folks are calling their retraining shutdown — but last night on The Daily Show, correspondent Jason Jones talked about the shut down.

Not that Starbucks needs any more free publicity — which is what some folks are calling their retraining shutdown — but last night on The Daily Show, correspondent Jason Jones talked about the shut down. In this clip, Jones tries to figure out what to do during the "full-caffeine eclipse." My favorite parts include when he asks his local deli owner for a fancy drink only to be greeted with a completely blank expression. Or perhaps it was when he wanted to know where the "douchebags with laptops" were.

Tell me which part is your favorite, watch the clip when you read more
