Sadly, The Daily Show’s crazy guests are actually real people, and they’re actually speaking their minds during these ridiculous interviews. To prove it, one Daily Show correspondent tracked down a number of old interviewees to sit down with them one last time before show host Jon Stewart takes his final bow.
