Download or read book The Daily Show The Book written by Chris Smith and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete, uncensored history of the award-winning The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, as told by its correspondents, writers, and host. For almost seventeen years, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart brilliantly redefined the borders between television comedy, political satire, and opinionated news coverage. It launched the careers of some of today's most significant comedians, highlighted the hypocrisies of the powerful, and garnered 23 Emmys. Now the show's behind-the-scenes gags, controversies, and camaraderie will be chronicled by the players themselves, from legendary host Jon Stewart to the star cast members and writers-including Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Steve Carell, Lewis Black, Jessica Williams, John Hodgman, and Larry Wilmore-plus some of The Daily Show's most prominent guests and adversaries: John and Cindy McCain, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, and many more. This oral history takes the reader behind the curtain for all the show's highlights, from its origins as Comedy Central's underdog late-night program hosted by Craig Kilborn to Jon Stewart's long reign to Trevor Noah's succession, rising from a scrappy jester in the 24-hour political news cycle to become part of the beating heart of politics-a trusted source for not only comedy but also commentary, with a reputation for calling bullshit and an ability to effect real change in the world. Through years of incisive election coverage, Jon Stewart's emotional monologue in the wake of 9/11, his infamous confrontation on Crossfire, passionate debates with President Obama and Hillary Clinton, feuds with Bill O'Reilly and Fox, the Indecisions, Mess O'Potamia, and provocative takes on Wall Street and racism, The Daily Show has been a cultural touchstone. Now, for the first time, the people behind the show's seminal moments come together to share their memories of the last-minute rewrites, improvisations, pranks, romances, blow-ups, and moments of Zen both on and off the set of one of America's most groundbreaking shows.
Download or read book King of the North written by Heidi Heiks and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two schools of thought on the interpretation of Daniel 11, especially the closing verses which are seen as still to be fulfilled in the future. The first may be called the literal historical view in which the kings of the north and south are seen as literal geo-political entities in the present day Middle East. Adventist interpreters favored this view until the end of World War I when the British and the Turks fought a battle at Megiddo (Armageddon), but Christ did not come after it. This failure led to the development of the second view, what may be called the spiritual or symbolic interpretation. By the end of World War II most Adventist interpreters had adopted this view. In this case, the king of the south no longer refers to Egypt but it is seen as a symbol for an end time spiritual or political power. Likewise, the king of the north is no longer Syria, but an alternate opposing spiritual or political power. In this school of thought, search is made for a fitting application for these symbols and several possibilities need to be considered. Brother Heiks stands squarely within the parameters of the symbolic approach and he has given careful and detailed consideration to the possibilities that need to be examined in carrying out his search for the correct application of these symbols.

Download or read book The Daily Source Book written by Heidi Heiks and published by Teach Services, Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Hebrew of the Old Testament the word tamid is used as an adverb, which modifies a verbal motion, to point out that the action goes on regularly, consistently or continually--daily at regular, repeated intervals. It is never used of an object or action in the most holy place, where the priest ministered only once a year. Nor is it ever used of pagan worship or the use of idols. It is used almost thirty times in connection with the tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple of Jerusalem--always referring to some action the priest carried out in its courtyard or in the holy place. The question, then, is what single word or phrase can encompass all of these regular priestly activities in both areas? The daily, which was followed once a year by the yearly or annual ministration in the Most Holy Place. Since these earthly functions were a typological model of what takes place in the heavenly sanctuary, its connection there shows that it belongs to the heavenly mediation and intercession of Christ on behalf of his earthly children. --William H. Shea, Ph.D. Retired Professor: Old Testament Department Seminary, Andrews University Retired Associate: Biblical Research Institute, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

Download or read book AD 1798 1843 Source Book written by Heidi Heiks and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events of the year 1798 and what followed immediately afterward are of great interest to students of history and prophecy. In this collection of primary and secondary documents compiled shortly thereafter, Brother Heiks has filled out the events surrounding the captivity of Pope Pius VI and the setting up of the Roman Republic through the eyes of those who participated in those events at the time. One can follow this course of events in intimate detail through the witness of those who favored such a change and those who did not. All of this makes the importance of those events much more clear and Brother Heiks is to be congratulated for bringing together these remarkable sources that provide so much detail in their witness.

Download or read book Daily Life in Ancient Rome written by Brian K. Harvey and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One really must admire Harvey’s achievement in this sourcebook. With just 350 passages (more than half of them consisting of Latin inscriptions, from all over Rome’s empire), Harvey manages to give his readers a real sense of Roman private values and behaviors. His translations of the original texts are superb—both accurate and elegant. And he contextualizes his chosen passages with a series of remarkably economical but solidly reliable introductions. In a word, Harvey’s sourcebook strikes me as the best now available for a single-semester undergraduate course." —T. Corey Brennan, Rutgers University–New Brunswick
