Connolly has always been known for his infectious sense of humor, and this episode is no different. From the beginning of the show, he has the audience in stitches with his unique take on current events.

One of the topics that they discussed was the war in Iraq. Connolly was very vocal about his opposition to the war, and he made his opinions known on the show. He talked about how the war was not justifiable, and how he believed that President Bush was lying to the American people about the reasons for going to war.

In addition to his political views, Connolly also talked about his personal life. He talked about his battle with Parkinson's disease, which was a very emotional topic for him. He discussed the day he received his diagnosis, and how it changed his life. But even in talking about such a serious topic, he still managed to inject humor into the conversation, which is a testament to his comedic abilities.

Throughout the show, Stewart and Connolly had great chemistry, and their conversations flowed seamlessly. They discussed a variety of topics, including the differences between American and British humor, the importance of laughter in difficult times, and even Harris Tweed (a fabric that is produced in Connolly's native Scotland).

One of the more memorable moments of the show was when Stewart and Connolly discussed an article that had been written about Connolly. The article had mentioned that he had recently stopped drinking alcohol, and Stewart asked him how he was able to do it. The conversation that followed was both funny and poignant, and it was clear that Connolly's decision to stop drinking was a very personal one for him.

Overall, this episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was a great showcase for the comedic talents of Billy Connolly. He managed to inject humor into serious topics, and he showed that he still has the ability to connect with audiences in a very real way. For fans of both comedy and politics, this episode is definitely one to watch.
