"The Daily Show" comes to iTunes

Proving that Apple TRULY understands their audience (or that Comedy Central does), both the Daily Show (with John Stewart) and the Colbert Report are coming to iTunes.

The sale of these shows is being handled a bit differently. You can buy a "multi-pass" for both The Colbert Report and The Daily Show for $9.99US. This gets you the current episode, and sets up iTunes to automatically download future episodes as they become available (up to 16 episodes). Think of it as a paid podcast.

These shows target the iPod generation most directly. Great idea. And I admit that I could see myself getting a "multi-pass", especially around the time of the presidential elections!
