The Daily Show was off Monday night for no reason, so last night, when Jon Stewart launched into the show’s lead story about the big pirate crisis that began last week, we could all be forgiven for thinking “Shit, Jon, everyone’s already made all the jokes about this!

The best rock n roll of 2009!
