"The Daily Show" covers gay marriage, as only they can.

Gay marriages started in California yesterday (in case you haven't heard), and like with all major news stories, Jon Stewart and The Daily Show had the final, and funniest, word.

Jon starts out talking about the first marriage being performed "and yet, the state of California ... continues ... to ... exist". He then follows it up with the kicker, "BTW, if gay people are getting married in California, why is God taking it out on people in the Midwest?" He cracks wise about the historic implications, and makes a hilarious joke (which only he and Fran Drescher could get away with) about Jewish mothers, and then moves on to George Takei and his glistening abs (you'll have to watch the above clip to understand).

The second clip is the usual Daily Show shenanigans, with correspondents John Oliver and Jason Jones (both of whom I have serious crushes on) milking the situation for all it's worth, which includes John's soon to be oft-repeated line "I want to be sodomized by your constitution".

You can see the second clip after the break, and kudos to The Daily Show for once again cutting through the B.S. of homophobia and finding the humour in its stupidity.
