Highlights

• The first episode of Daily Show hosted by Jon Stewart premiered on January 11, 1999. If I'm not mistaken, I think Beth Littleford did a story on female midget wrestlers, and Michael J. Fox was the first guest Jon interviewed.

• Vance DeGeneres' first appearance on Daily Show on January 14, 1999

• Steve Carell's first appearance in March of 1999 (I think)

• Vance DeGeneres' mom comes out with a book ("Love Ellen, A Mother Daughter Journey"). We all know about Vance's childhood traumas now. (little joke there, Vance) 

• Former host Craig Kilborn premieres his own late night talk show on CBS. 

• Jon Stewart in the movie Big Daddy with Adam Sandler. Quite possibly the highest grossing movie that Jon has ever been in.

• The Daily Show does its last Summer Spectular.

• The first episode (since 1996-ish) without an audience (see "The Hurricane Edition Of TDS" ) due to Hurricane Floyd.

• Nancy Walls' first appearance on TDS in November (don't bet the farm on that date, I forget the exact month) 

• The Daily Show goes to their first presidential candidate debate. John McCain says he likes their (Mo Rocca, Steve Carell, and Vance DeGeneres')  Indecision 2000 jackets.

• 1996 presidential candidate Bob Dole becomes The Daily Show's election "pundit"

• On December 15th, 1999 Frank DeCaro hosts a webcast with Jon and Vance DeGeneres, where fans questions are answered. Transcript here.

• Later that same night, the hour long Daily Show special entitled The Greatest Millennium airs, with They Might Be Giants as a musical guest.
