For example, I once saw a man throw his hat down in anger. He didn’t stomp on it which was kind of a let down.

    We snatched a few Neighborhood Crime Watch signs from our rural neighborhood.

    If anyone happens to have a recording from 1998 of when the Daily Show came out to rural PA and interviewed the state troopers and crime watch committee about it, we’ve been trying to find that recording for years. It was definitely during the Craig Kilborn years and I believe Steve Colbert was the field reporter who did the segment, but I’m not sure, because all those Daily show guys looked the same to me back before they got famous.

    Jay Leno also did a Headlines bit on it, but that’s not nearly as fun.

      With digitization the way it’s going, for example Jon Oliver’s show releasing all of their content on YouTube, you might get lucky by reaching out to the studio itself. There’s gotta be some nerd who’d find your story interesting enough to comb the archive for you.

        I did find a site dedicated to finding all the lost episodes, but they haven’t found mine yet. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I used to have one, but someone taped over it with Oprah.
