If The Daily Show put Amazon links on their Hulu videos they would make some serious affiliate money. Why? Because five out of the twenty-nine books in my Amazon book wishlist were added immediately after watching guests promote their books on The Daily Show, which I watch on Hulu.
The Daily Show bump, much like the “Colbert bump”, is no joke. 5 out of 29 books. 17%. Yes, 17% of the books in my Amazon wishlist were added after watching guests promote their books on Jon’s show. What can I say, Jon has some very interesting guests with must-read books.
Books I added to my Amazon wishlist after watching The Daily Show on Hulu:
Out of Mao’s Shadow: The Struggle for the Soul of a New China by Philip P. Pan
Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders by Jason L. Riley
When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris
The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria
Alpha Dogs: The Americans Who Turned Political Spin into a Global Business by James Harding
The Future of The Internet and How To Stop It by Jonathan Zittrain
And, if Amazon links aren’t added to The Daily Show’s Hulu videos than The Daily Show should at least add them to videos on their own website.
