Daily Show Looks To Obama Era: "We're Going To Have To Adjust"

Now what?

With George Bush back in Crawford, Texas, and Barack Obama in the White House trying to deal with the nation's woes, will "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" still have enough satirical fodder for its four-nights-per week/161-episodes-per-year broadcast?

"With a whole new administration, we're going to have to adjust," admits co-exec producer Josh Lieb. "It would be backwards to plan the adjustment first," explains the vet comedy writer, who notes that in the waning days of the Bush administration the ex-president was an easy laugh. But the future is not without promise. "There's going to be plenty of scandals, plenty of missteps and plenty of things to take out of context to get our 22 minutes of comedy every night. I'm not worried."
