The Daily Show to Bee in Austin Today

Daily Show correspondent, Samantha Bee and her team of sound guys and camera men will be in Austin today (or more specifically, Round Rock). They will be filming a segment for the Daily Show about locally-run website, Happy News.

Website owner and Italian jewelry magnate, JJ Kent was nervous to go head-to-head with Bee, concerned that she would later alter his wording. However, our inside source tells us that The Daily Show has insisted that they do not edit the questions and answers of their subjects to make them funnier. However some editing is purportedly involved.

Bee and Co. are allegedly "very excited" to come to Austin as they have "never been [here] before." This trip was postponed from an earlier date for undisclosed reasons, but truly, we hope that Bee will make it safely to the Hill Country.
