So Just How Much Does it Cost to Fix 'The Daily Show' Globe?

TWoP member violetion was lucky enough to attend the taping where the question on everybodies mind was finally answered – just when is that Daily Show globe going to be fixed?

Jon came out and did his Q&A. My God, he is just so charming, beautiful and charismatic in person. His appeal from TV is just magnified times 100 in person. We found out that Jon’s favourite episode of Seinfeld is The Marine Biologist. Someone asked if they would ever get the wrong way spinning globe fixed and Jon said he found out it would cost $7500 to fix it to spin the right way and he said that he now tells people it spins in the wrong direction “ironically.” Another person also asked what they do in the case of last minute cancellations, obviously in reference to Marco Rubio the night before. Jon said “first person we call is Brian Williams, because that motherf***er is such a camera whore.” I’m kicking myself for not being able to remember everything that people asked, but someone also asked him about the worst heckling he ever got. He said it was when he started stand up in 1987 and he was put in the 1am slot, which he said was “for people who sucked,” and when he got heckled his response was just “nuh-uh” and that was it.

For those of you wondering how the cities are chosen for the globe, National Geographic talked to director Chuck O’Neil who came up with the idea in 2007 when the new set was unveiled.
