Reluctantly Settles for .Net, Struggles with Comptroller — Jon Stewart

Two Daily Show clips related to domain names (Ok, so one’s a stretch).

The prior week on the Daily Show Jon Stewart discussed net neutrality. In the story, he also poked fun at domain names, saying he registered a .net since he couldn’t get the .com. He repeated it a number of times during the story. I can’t repeat the made up domain he mentions in the video, but he emphasized .net. “I was going to have that .com but it was by now taken, so I got dot net.”

Later in the week he discussed Michael Bloomberg’s opponent in the Mayoral election. It really doesn’t have much to do with domain names, except for me personally. Bloomberg’s opponent was the former comptroller of Fresh York City, and I own the domain name Comptroller.com. So Jon, if you really want to know what a comptroller is, visit Comptroller.com. And if any politicians running for comptroller want a great domain name for their campaign, I’m happy to lease comptroller to them.
