Haha, I'll tell you why I didn't comment last time. It was because the more I thought through this story, the more my brain exploded. I started to consider "Jon" and how he is clearly trying to be funny because he's himself on the show, and how in "Stephen's" world how that wouldn't work because it's comedy but it's not for the Report, but if it was a matter of taking the mannerisms of your comedic routine, he would be somewhat stupid, kind of an ass and probably not liked...

So yeah. Brain explodey. But I love your description in this chapter about how the Daily Show works in this world. =)

The part where Stephen is telling all his jokes to "Jon" is lovely. I'm worried "Jon" is going to want to go back with him, though. Oh and have I mentioned you've got "Stephen" down perfectly? =D
