A brief note before proceeding to this week’s lineup. I noted on January 30 that The Daily Show had not announced a guest for its February 2 show. It happened to be Dr. David Agus, who, with Kristin Loberg, has written The End of Illness. Agus is an oncologist and entrepreneur who is interested in the application of proteomics and genomics to cancer.
Turning to this week’s guests, we actually have a healthy selection. The Colbert Report is apparently on a small politics guest purge during this lull in campaigning. Environmentalist Bill McKibben joins the show tonight (Monday). On Tuesday William Broad comes by to talk about his book on the science of yoga. Science Bob Pflugfelder will return to Jimmy Kimmel’s program on Wednesday. On Thursday Stephen Colbert welcomes an expert on introverts to talk about research the differences between them (of which I am one) and extroverts.
Though I’m not sanguine about animal expert segments, Dave Salmoni will be on The Tonight Show Friday.
The Daily Show has not announced its guest for Wednesday. I’ll do a better job this week of checking to see if that person should be in this post.
