Daily Show to Open Web Video Archive


Viacom is set to unveil a new site that will include 13,000 video clips of its popular “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” representing every minute of the show since its 1999 inception.. wOOt!

To prepare for the site launch, 16 Comedy Central writers and video encoders have worked two shifts a day on the project since June, according to the report. Erik Flannigan, executive vice president for digital media at MTV Networks, the Viacom unit that includes Comedy Central, said one particular challenge for the site was designing ads to satisfy advertisers without turning off viewers. The site will include a database of clips searchable by both date and topic. More via CNN Money
