I am out of the loop on The Daily Show, but has Jon Steward tackled the IBD Editorial Stephen Hawking Epic Fail?

(I love the Editor's correction you will find at the top of the second link: Editor's Note: This version corrects the original editorial which implied that physicist Stephen Hawking, a professor at the University of Cambridge, did not live in the UK.)

The Daily Show airs on the East Coast in another 13 minutes, so I'll keep an ear out for it. Keith Olbermann just made reference to it, which was the first that I had heard.

"On 20 April 2009, Cambridge University released a statement saying that Hawking was "very ill" with a chest infection, and was admitted to Addenbrooke's Hospital. The following day, it was reported that his new condition is "comfortable" and he should make a full recovery."

"The hospital is run by the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,"
