“The Daily Show” headed from New York City to Texas at the same time that the Ebola virus is making the exact opposite migration, a fact not lost on “The Best F#@king News Team Ever.”
“Now that Ebola is in New York City, we can let the big dogs show you how we handle an African blood-poop virus,” host Jon Stewart started from his remote week in Austin, Texas.
He added, “Calm, cool and … catch that doctor and kill him!” referring to the now-infamous jogging and bowling Manhattan Ebola practitioner/patient, Craig Spencer.
