A Fond Farewell

March 2nd, 2010 by Andy Forssell SVP of Content

Many of you know that TV shows and movies regularly cycle in and out of the Hulu service. When a show is about to cycle out, we try our hardest to ensure that users who have subscribed to the show or have episodes of the show in their queue are notified in plenty of time so that they can catch up before the series sunsets. But typically we don’t recognize these expirations in any larger way than that, as it’s a fairly regular occurrence. Today, though, I want to recognize a couple of our favorite shows that are leaving the service for now, shows that we love so much that we simply can’t let them go without a more public and fond farewell.

The shows I’m referring to are The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, as well as a handful of library shows, all from Comedy Central. The team at Comedy Central have been great partners for us, and our users have been extremely vocal and passionate about how much they love what the Comedy Central folks are doing.

In the past 21 months, we’ve had very strong results for both Hulu and Comedy Central, in terms of the views and revenue we’ve generated, thanks to a couple of key trends. First, more and more of our viewers have voted with their time by making these shows a regular part of their day. And second, we’ve driven steadily increasing revenue per view as advertisers voted with their budgets to take advantage of innovative ad formats and very strong advertising effectiveness. After a series of discussions with the team at Comedy Central, though, we ultimately were unable to secure the rights to extend these shows for a much longer period of time.

So for now, these shows are rotating off the service — or more specifically, at 11:59 p.m. PST next Tuesday, March 9th, these shows will come down from Hulu. We encourage all of you to watch them at TheDailyShow.com and ColbertNation.com, either by going there directly or by searching on Hulu to help you get there. In the meantime, we are continuing to talk to the Comedy Central folks about a number of opportunities. They’re a great team and I’m confident that we’ll be working with them in multiple ways in the future … so stay tuned and know that we are scouring the earth for more great content for you.

    Hulu, Comedy Central, Viacom whomever and however you did it. Thank you, thank you for bringing back TCR and TDS back.

  • Hi Romero,

    You’re looking at a very old blog post here, and you’ll be happy to know we’ve already worked out a deal for The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and many other Comedy Central shows to be on the site. This is old news, long live Hulu and Comedy Central’s partnership.

    Thanks,
    James
    Hulu Support

  • Romero says:

    So sorry to hear of these cancellations! I hope they come back in the future. Hulu is a great site with many good shows among the top TCR & TDS, Wilbert, Whites and many others. I hope Hulu and CC work something out to bring them back. Keep up the good work Hulu.

  • test test says:

    hi there was just seeing if you minded a comment. i like your site and the theme you picked is super. I will be back.

  • Shane says:

    Well I no longer have a reason to watch Hulu anymore, good bye. Hope ur advertisers dont dump u all at once.

  • Orange mushrooms says:

    It doesn’t have HALF the shows i like. It doesn’t have ANY of the shows i like. So just say NO.

  • Jill says:

    THEY’RE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK. (at least for me, i have hulu+, not sure if that’s a factor)

  • Hulu sucks! Reason why i hate media novadays.

  • pawan says:

    Really disappointing. In the past seven months, I’ve watched more episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on Hulu than I ever did in the previous 10 years (when I actually had cable). Like others have said, I’m not interested in watching these shows at Comedy Central’s website. Nothing against them, as I never click on any of the programs that want me to watch it on their site.

  • rob says:

    No Daily Show, means I am discontinuing my Hulu+ account.

  • Ed says:

    Please bring them back!! the comedy central site is terrible, and being able to watch the shows through hulu plus directly on the TV is something that comedy central will never offer.

  • Nick says:

    come back cc i love your shows, hate your site! If you cant steam them (WHTCH YOU CAN’T) then let hulu do it for you.

  • jason says:

    This is sooo lame. Comedy Central’s video player SUCKS, and the inability to stream to hulu compatible sites sucks more.

    bring them back!

  • Kennedy says:

    What is wrong with you people. You always want free stuff and then complain. If you have to watch ONE commercial every 8-10 mins instead of 4 minutes of commercials every 6 mins on cable what is the damn problem. People are so good at complaining about something that is free or ridiculously cheap. If you dont like it then buy the damn dvd’s and watch commercial free.

  • former viewer says:

    Hulu gets worse by the minute. I haven’t been on for months. Tried today and same annoyance. What used to stream perfectly, no longer does and w/out TCR or TDS, why bother, because most of the other offerings (except some old shows) are junk. Not entirely Hulu’s fault as TV networks have replaced most of the good shows w/garbage. There’s so many other and better ways to spend my time instead of Hulu or TV. Maybe this will cause others to rediscover the joy of life w/out TV and get our brains back.

  • Richard says:

    Could anyone please comment as to whether Hulu will be able to work on the Iphone 4?

  • jeff says:

    I will definitely join Hulu plus if Comedy Central comes back, but until then there’s no chance I’m paying $10 a month and not getting The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Tosh.0, and Futurama. I love the idea and shows Hulu plus offers but i would rather just keep paying for cable until more networks join Hulu plus.

  • POd says:

    Hulu blew it. Comedy Central blew it. CC’s video stream sucks it. Out. I’m out.

  • Kay Wheels says:

    The Wendy Williams Show – I rush home everyday to see it – I would pay the little 9.95 fee just to not rush everyday. I love hot topics and all I ever see is the last few minutes –
    Is there any hope of getting The Wendy Williams Show on HULU?

  • Very sorry to hear about comedy central blocking from hulu.com and when the last thing helped because the dailyshow and the colbert report are now online all by themselves. We also want to know about that return after comedy centrawas blocked from hulu.com back to their website. Also about UGLY BETTY that went off the air yesterday after 4 season a bunch of episodes. Make that more than 250. Well, on our website at hulu.com, we are proud to bring these abc show in rerun for ac studios. First 4 season to add to season 5 of Moonlighting and other first seasoned abc shows. Did you know that rko movies are coming to this website and warner bros. movies, too well. their at thewb.com all set. But right now don’t you have Ugly Betty episode for 4 seasons including novelas for ugly betty and inside mode as well as clip and full episodes from the longest running series? I really want TCR and TDS besides Comdey Central back cause it was sad to see it go.

  • Luis Dublin says:

    No more watchin Hulu for me. These are the programs that brought me to Hulu, and unfortunately the discontinuation of these programse will cause me to leave.

  • corey says:

    Every show that i like is falling off the list of shows Hulu offers. I was spending hours every day watching Hulu and loving it more than any cable service out there. I find myself more and more just turning it off. I can not believe that Hulu thinks they will be able to charge for this site while they can not even keep decent programs on the air. All they ever add anymore is this stupid anime crap. Nice job Hulu youv’e taken a great product and ruined it. I may even go back to cable soon, and that is just sad.

  • Laura says:

    Not to say anything that hasn’t been said already, but I just wanted CC to know that there is one more person annoyed by their decision. I used to watch TDS and TCR every day on Hulu. Since they took them down, I watched TDS a few times, here and there, and no TCR at all. I got lucky, I guess – I became a fan of TDS on FB, and they post links to their entire episodes on FB. And I’m very happy I don’t have to get lost on the CC webpage looking for the shows. I tried that before, and I never got to where I wanted to be.
    I don’t think I’ll do the same for TCR, though. Sorry, Colbert.

    I really like Hulu. I watch Quantum Leap instead of TCR now :).

  • Aiyanasphere says:

    No Daily Show=No HULU for me! When John Stewart comes back so will I.

  • Rumsy says:

    Still unable to watch. My fucking intel mac won’t stream from the Comedy Central website, yet anything and everything on Hulu streams fine…so it ain’t my machine. Lame, I really miss TDS & TCR.

  • LJ Oakland says:

    So bummed to discover the other week that TDS and TCR are no longer on hulu. The CC website DOES suck and I’ve shut it down in frustration multiple times trying to catch up on my fave shows. The only way I will give the CC website another try is if they post these shows the day after they air. Also, this may seem ridiculous, but the quality and frequency of the advertising on the CC site is much more obnoxious and not worth suffering through than the relatively low-key advertising on Hulu. I’ve never paid for cable TV and never will.

  • scott says:

    I am totally bummed. I watched Colbert every day and they don’t even update the full episodes often. I dont’ have cable. I will watch the ads if they are on hulu but I won’t purchase cable.

    They have lost one viewer. I have zero loyalty to comedy central but a lot to mr. colbert. I’m very bummed…

  • Emilianna says:

    Streaming video on comedycentral.com, blows. big time. It starts buffering after 20 seconds, plays for 5 seconds, then buffers forever. Why would any user put up that? I’m going to start downloading it. Congrats Comedy Central, you’ve converted me into a pirate.

  • Emilianna says:

    Streaming video on comedycentra.com, blows. big time. It starts buffering after 20 seconds, plays for 5 seconds, then buffers forever. Why would any user put up that? I’m going to start downloading it. Congrats Comedy Central, you’ve converted me into a pirate.

  • Eric says:

    Yeah, you need to do what you can to bring these back. This is terrible for you, for the shows, and for me and my wife. We like the shows just fine, but there’s just no comparison to watching them on Hulu full screen on my TV, being notified by email that they are in my queue, even being able to see them the next day.

    Like others here, as much as I enjoyed the shows, it’s not worth the hassle to deal with the abysmal Comedy Central sites that host them. I will probably be missing a lot of TDS and TCR going forward, and that’s a shame. Meantime, if you’ll excuse me, I have an episode of Lost in my queue that I’m off to watch. (Even though Hulu doesn’t offer surround like HDTV over the air, et al, it’s convenient enough and good enough quality that I really don’t care)

  • Tom says:

    I miss hulu, the comedy central feed sucks. There is no full show option, everything is broken into these annoyingly small clips.

  • Ryan says:

    Yeah, this is lame. Agree with Jc, I came here daily to watch Daily Show. Sucks for Hulu.

  • GOG says:

    Its a conspiracy if you ask me. they removed the content from hulu – but they aren’t putting it up in a timely matter on CC’s site. This is a topical news show – so the longer the delay, the less likely people will watch it. (relevance)

    It is now thursday and the latest episode they have up is from last friday. This is not about revenues – because if it was, they would put the show up the following day.

    I tried to sign up on CC’s web sight to voice my opinion, but I’m not eligible to be a member – now why a white male of 36 years of age isn’t allowed to become a member is beyond me – other than the fact that they know I’m going to complain about them. I tried using different email addresses, but to no success.

    MY respect for CC is dropping faster than the WTC in free fall (sorry bad joke…maybe)

  • Mike says:

    Good, even less of an excuse to deal with Hulu now. Take note Hulu, Viacom’s content has ALWAYS played nice with Boxee, even with the latest beta on Apple TV. The Daily Show, South Park, Colbert, they all play back flawlessly.

    Meanwhile, I try to stream one show from Hulu and it’s like my TV is having a seizure.

    You guys lost me a long time ago with all the crap you pulled with Boxee, so as far as I’m concerned, this is just deserts. (<–yes that is spelled correctly for that phrase, look it up people!)

  • Derek says:

    I’ll give you the chance to make ad money off me on hulu but I pirate everything that isn’t on hulu. I will always choose the easier option. Make watching your shows easier than pirating them. You will make money. I will get the shows I want. This is a win win. Stop being greedy.

  • Phil says:

    I love the Hulu player, hate the CC player. I’ll be replacing TDS and TCR with other shows on Hulu. Bye bye Comedy Central, see ya never.

  • snl says:

    No one expected it to last very long. CC wants people to watch their shows on their website. The least they could do then is get a decent videoplyer.

  • Vinny says:

    No offense to Comedy Central, but your player is not nearly as good as Hulu’s. I watch a lot of shows on this site as well, so it’s nice to have a centralized location to see Daily Show, Colbert, Family Guy, American Dad, Kitchen Nightmares, and The Biggest Loser. With the loss of the Comedy Central on this site, I, not deliberately, find myself watching Comedy Central programming less and less.

    Please bring these shows back so that I remember to watch them every night.

  • Jaz-Michael King says:

    Just wanted to add that as I interact with Hulu primarily through my queue I’ve been waiting patiently for Colbert and TDS to come back from what seemed like an extended vacation. I finally decided to poke about and am only now learning of their retreat to CC. Much as I will miss them I respect their choice, but I just wanted to add a voice to the “please let us know this kind of thing in the queue” side of things. One of the reasons I prefer Hulu is the less time I need to spend being bombarded with news about my entertainment and simply getting my content – I don’t read entertainment news and such. All things aside, keep up the great work!

  • austin76 says:

    I’ve been watching TDC and TCR on Hulu since I got rid of my TV. The comedy central website sucks! I’d much rather watch the stream on Hulu because it’s smoother. I have an intel macbook, so it ain’t on my end. WTF. I guess I’ll watch Archer.

  • natural news says:

    I used to often watch Colbert and Stewart at Hulu, but the Comedy Central video player does not work at all on my Mac laptop.

    Bring em back!!!

  • Richard says:

    Please bring back TDS & TCR! Hopefully, Comedy Central will realize the drop in revenue and viewership this will cause.

  • The John says:

    The colbernation.com player doesn’t seem to work for me. It just spins forever.

    I haven’t watched this show since it left Hulu and I’m missing it :(

  • Brandon Keiper says:

    This is frustration. I tried to watch TDS on CC’s website, its down. None of their videos work. I can’t watch any episodes. This wouldn’t have happened on Hulu. Screw you Comedy Central.

  • LP says:

    I understand that Comedy Central wants to protect and promote its content, so I tried to switch over from Hulu to the Daily Show website. But it just isn’t as good as watching on Hulu. I’ll still watch the show occasionally, but they’ve lost a nightly viewer. It’s not out of malice or spite…it’s was just easier and cleaner on Hulu. I would even pay a little to watch the Daily Show, but only on Hulu.

  • Ann says:

    I can’t stand CC’s website – so many streaming problems and obnoxious ads. And as much as I love Stewart and Colbert, I’m not about to throw money down the cable company drain AND sit through commercials on top of that. Oh well. I hope they come back to Hulu soon.

    I still love you, Hulu!

  • Kevin says:

    Oh heck, what a bunch of whiners. Just go to Comedy central.

  • Metal says:

    Two immediate usability problems with this:

    - I can’t easily see which episodes I have yet to see (no queue)
    - I can’t popout those episodes full screen while using my other screens

    There’s a userscript that attempts to mitigate those issues by bringing those shows back in the hulu queue page: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/72084

    Anyone is welcome to take it and improve upon it.

  • empimp says:

    Any word on how revenue has changed since The Daily Show and Colbert Report have been removed from hulu? I know I’m not watching at the comedy channel site, and a quick review of comments here indicates I’m not the only one. Is our lack of comedy channel com viewing making a monetary difference?

  • Rob says:

    I’m boycotting all Comedy Central shows until TDS and TCR return to Hulu. I’ve already sent messages to CC about this, and I encourage all of you to do the same.

  • Rob says:

    This is just crap. Comedy Central probably thinks it can more revenue than Hulu generated for them. But that won’t happen. I like Hulu because it has a reliable player, keeps my shoes in order, let’s me know what I haven’t watched, and is just way more convenient than running all over the web trying to find a single show.

    Screw you Comedy Central. Even though I love my TDS and TCR, I refuse to watch them until they return to Hulu.

    I will be writing a letter to CC shortly to let them know they have lost a viewer. I encourage everybody to do the same.

  • Ben Ridge says:

    Not to beat a dead horse, but I too will no longer be watching The Daily Show or Colbert. Comedy Central’s streaming is terrible and the commercials are about twice as loud as they should be. Also they play ads for other shows on Comedy Central, which for me is irrelevant because I don’t watch normal TV. Comedy Central has really shot themselves in the foot on this one… or maybe they haven’t, I’m not really sure how big of a demographic people like me represent.

  • Rob says:

    Yeah we all loose. Way to go Viacom. This is only hurting their own profit in the long run.
    I don’t have Cable, I have Hulu. TDC, and TCR have lost a viewer until Viacom folds.

  • Eric says:

    It’s probably a ploy from Viacom to try and get a bigger cut of the money from its online distribution, they’re probably steamed that they have to give hulu a share. Viacom.. arg. As far as Viacom programming goes, if it’s not on Hulu, don’t bother. This is the only video service system I trust.

  • Matt says:

    The comments against Hulu and Comedy Central here are amazing. The shows are still on the air and shown multiple times a day. You can still record them. And even if you don’t have access to the channel, you can still view decent portions of the show on Comedy Central’s site.

    Yet people are b****ing and complaining left and right because they now have to go to another site, endure a few more ads, a decrease in quality, and occasionally not get the entire show. Wow.

    Typical liberals, I guess. It’s always “I want, I need, I deserve, and how DARE you take away my FREE access to something!” Absolutely pathetic.

  • me says:

    You’ll get over it.

  • Kiwi says:

    Wow – that sucks!
    What can we do to change this?

  • Dorie says:

    Sorry to see these two shows go. I hope they will come back at some point. I don’t have the budget for cable AND internet, so I chose internet which means any TV content I watch comes from the web. I’ll check out those sites and see if it’s possible to catch the shows from there. If not, I’ll just enjoy what else you have to offer (The Office and Lost for sure).

    You’re doing a great job Hulu – sorry some of the viewers who enjoy your FREE content aren’t appreciative of all that you are doing in spite of this disappointment.

  • Michael says:

    Just want to join in the chorus of people who will no longer be watching TDS and TCR because of this… I tried watcing on Comedy Central’s site, but it blows. I constantly get ActionScript errors, there’s no queuing, some of the episodes of Colbert aren’t available in their entirety, and there’s way more commercials. All around crappy deal for everybody.

  • Mark says:

    The explanation for “rotating off” the Daily Show is not acceptable. Essentially, you are saying there is no reason to get involved in *any* show on Hulu, because we *will* be disappointed when it is yanked prematurely, that is, while the show is still on the air. That is no way to treat loyal viewers, although it is an excellent way to make me reconsider what has otherwise been an excellent service. If we are no more than guinea pigs to you, why should we bother?

  • Destry, we updated the availability notes and put expiration warnings on the Daily Show and Colbert Report episodes. I’m sorry you missed those; we’ll certainly consider putting a notice in the queue if this kind of situation comes up again.

  • JoThomas says:

    I no longer watch any TV, only Hulu. I used to watch the Colbert Report and Daily Show every day on Hulu. I know this might sound lazy (but hey most people are!), but I’m not going to go to Comedy Central and make an individual account. If shows from Comedy Central aren’t on Hulu, then I simply won’t watch anymore Comedy Central shows.

  • jj says:

    I loved to watch the Daily Show on demand. It is great for short breaks in a busy schedule. Unfortunately Comedy Central choose to what felt like triple the commercial time. For me at least that big disappointment , and such an annoyance that I will search hulu for alternatives. The commercial/content ratio just deteriorated by too much.

  • destry says:

    i would have to say that it is sad hulu and comedy central are having hard times but it would have been nice to have a note in my queue telling us what was going to happen. Instead we just where left out in the dark just some heads up is all i ask. ps im sad too.

  • Shannon Lee Martin says:

    They don’t even show entire episodes of the Colbert Report, at least not so far, at Comedy Central. Well, so far as I’ve watched. Just part of it. Says a full episode, but its not.

    CRAP!

    Oh, one more thing I want to say about this not being on Hulu anymore situation with Daily Show and Colbert Report. . .

    CRAP!

  • Frankie says:

    the best thing hulu had going for it and it blew it. Watching those shows was a part of my morning routine, like more and more people nowadays I don’t own a t.v. so I was glad to find hulu so I could watch the few shows on t.v. worth a shit. no more.

  • perrydobyns says:

    Comedy central has apparently joined FoxNews and the rest of the mainstream media to put revenues before viewers. Too bad for them and their credibility. I hope their execs get to read some of the blogs.

  • teri says:

    Boo Comedy Central! You fat cats! and thanks for more than doubling the commerical time! D*cks

  • Stephen Colbert's Next Wife says:

    Too bad! Thanks for letting hulu users know what’s going on – hope you can bring ‘em back.

  • Visitor says:

    Colossal failure. Way to let greed ruin a good thing. Hello torrent downloads, goodbye corporate channels!

  • bob says:

    This is why Hulu will fail. If you don’t have quality shows, then the viewers will go else where. I know I will. Disappointing.

  • When I didn’t find TDS &TCR in my morning queue last week, I just assumed that they were on another of their weekly vacations. When they were still missing this week, I looked and found that somehow Hulu and Comedy Central had parted ways. Just for kicks, I tried to watch a few episodes on the CC run sites for each show. The interface (and I am assuming the infrastructure too) was flaccidly ineffectual.

    Congratulations to a bunch of people who turned a supplemental revenue stream into a river of $h*t for the rest of us.

  • marcus says:

    i hate you hulu.. dont take the only thing i watch off. i cant live with out the daily show. or colbert nation. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    uninstalling desktop player…… the end!!!!!!

  • Seamus says:

    Bad move, Comedy Central and Hulu. You had a good thing going. I will be spending far less time on your site EVERY SINGLE DAY as a result.

  • Nate says:

    Comedy Central and others would be wise to support a one-stop-site like Hulu — I’d pay money to access anything I want to watch on Hulu, but I’m never going to create accounts and pay money at 30 different network and TV show websites.

    Cable works because you can pay one simple bill and watch whatever you want. Internet TV needs the same. If we have to hunt all over the web for good shows, overall viewership will be a tiny fraction of what it could be if it were easier.

  • Uradi says:

    I didn’t realize those shows were gone until today, I assumed they just took a break as the are wont to do, there’s no way I could watch every episode of a show like The Daily Show if it wasn’t in a queue as convenient as Hulu’s. I’ll miss them, as I’ll probably stop watching them, but if they ever put them back up on Hulu I would start watching them again.

  • Tim says:

    I just found this out. That is terrible news. Well I guess I won’t be watching 2 of my favorite shows. Hopefully they come back soon.

  • boycott dailycolbert says:

    this is atrocious – boycotting colbert and daily despite my love. hope foxnews throws a cheap shot and does on segment about ‘this situation’ on beck or hannity

  • CLH says:

    Well I guess it is one more show to download off the torrents. At the least they could have done what funimation does and had the shows on Comedy Central.com for a week and then post them to Hulu. It seems like that way they could have accurately gauged how much the viewership would have changed.

  • adam says:

    I’m very sad to hear this news. Watching them every morning was what got me going before work. I can’t even watch them on the Comedy Central website, sometimes they won’t load. Work it out hulu!

  • Devin says:

    wow. one of the first reasons why i started using hulu…the daily show.

    disappointing. hopefully the streaming on comedy centrals website isnt as shitty as everyone is saying it is. watching the daily show on hulu truly was a part of my weekly routine as i don’t have cable at my apartment. im a student and its just as satisfying getting my programming on hulu…well…WAS just as satisfying…seems like things are changing.

  • Keith says:

    Please bring back The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to Hulu. Comedy Central clearly has not invested enough into their servers to support the transition.

  • frank adam brenner says:

    That’s really crappy. These two shows on hulu can only increase viewership for Comedy Central. Kind of a stupid move. Sorry to hear this.

  • roy culver says:

    Just wanted to voice my disappointment. I hope CC and Hulu can reach some sort of agreement in the future. These are the only two shows I regularly watch on Hulu. Now I probably won’t watch Hulu any more.

  • earthechick6 says:

    Sad. I watched both shows here because Comedy Central’s site doesn’t work well on my old slow computer. Now I don’t get to see my two favorite shows.

    Give Comedy Central what they want … bring back Stewart and Colbert!

  • Ajasin says:

    Both Huku and the network are blowing it. Now I'ol watch Hulu half as much.;;

  • Trust Me says:

    Comedy Central’s video player SUCKS! Same with Discovery channel. I gave up on Mythbusters because I would spend more time TRYING to watch the show than actually watching it. This is very disappointing.

  • Eric says:

    Wow this is ridiculous. Who can we write to at Comedy Central? Both these shows were the main reason I use hulu, the streaming on comedy central’s site is horrid.

  • Thomas says:

    Really disappointing. In the past seven months, I’ve watched more episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on Hulu than I ever did in the previous 10 years (when I actually had cable). Like others have said, I’m not interested in watching these shows at Comedy Central’s website. Nothing against them, as I never click on any of the programs that want me to watch it on their site.

    Oh well. I’m going for a walk.

  • Robert says:

    I am very disappointed that Hulu no longer has the Daily Show or Colbert Report. It is one of the main reasons that I have used Hulu. Comedy Central’s website and streaming service really sucks compared to Hulu both in quality and usability. I hope that Comedy Central can pull it’s head out of it’s a$$ and return to Hulu.

  • Jeff says:

    Well that’s a serious pisser. Going to have to reconsider my viewing options once again.

  • don't worry about it says:

    no more hulu for me. i’d put money that comedy central took them off because of advertisment income.

  • karena says:

    I didn’t realize all this was going on until today. This is so unfortunate, please try to do your best to bring these shows back. This is all I ever watch in terms of TV. I’m too poor for cable & even if I wasn’t I’m not a big fan of TV anyway with the exception of the Daily show and Conan….now they’re both gone! =’(

  • Argentieri says:

    Both Hulu and the network are blowing it. Now I'll watch Hulu half as much.;

  • Andrew says:

    I like one stop shopping. I have never put the effort into recording television shows and never will. That being said, I won’t even consider going to another (and especially multiple) site(s) to watch my programs. The ability to queue automatically and have it all available at one place makes it easy. I click one button for a show and then I don’t do anything ever again. The next easiest solution is that I will not be watching The Daily Show or Colbert Report anymore.

  • DC says:

    better for me less tv mo’ better thanks…. we should all take a walk outside

  • John says:

    WTF?! I’ve been a loyal Daily Show & Colbert Report viewer for many, many, many years — the entire history of both shows for the most part. They are by far two of the best shows on TV, and the ONLY worthy US news source. However, that said, I will no longer be watching either. I will NOT watch anything at ComedyCentral.com, for exactly the same reason I never watch anything at CBS.com, or Discovery.com. Their site is not conducive to viewing, and has too much other crap I don’t want to see. I LOVE the Hulu interface and approach to internet TV — Long live Hulu, BRING THE DAILY SHOW BACK!!

    I love the Daily Show, but am admittedly lazy. I like being able to watch everything right from my Hulu queue. Tried to watch a Daily Show from the website, it is difficult to navigate, and of poor quality. Guess this means I will be saying goodbye to my morning tradition of Daily Show and coffee until they bring it back to Hulu.

    What the hell is going on here? Daily show and Colbert Report were THE reason that i visited HULU on a daily basis. Apparently others did as well. How can there not be enough revenue from that combo? It’s like congress took over HULU and or Comedy Central.

    Bring back TCR & TDS please!!! Both of those shows are the main reasons why I visit Hulu on a consistent basis. Without those shows, I will go from visiting Hulu daily and watching atleast 2 videos to visiting Hulu once or twice a week.

    The resolution at the Comedy Central’s site is horrific. Why does NBC always screw over their late night comedians and alienate them from their audiences??? I fear I will have to go back to watching these shows via bitttorrent until (or if) they return to Hulu. BRING THEM BACK PLEASE!
