Comments

 * Thanks for your hard work on this article. It shouldn't take much to get it to GA standards. Let's start with the references where I indicated they are needed. Lemurbaby (talk) 17:58, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, that was a much quicker start to the GA review than I expected. OK, I've added references where you tagged. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:00, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * In the Announcement section, the timeline isn't quite clear in terms of when and in what context the announcements were made. Also there is some word repetition in this section that could be reduced by using some different vocab. Lemurbaby (talk) 04:55, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Done (?) I took a stab at adding a bit more info, I think I also eliminated some of the repetitive language.  Mildly MadTC 12:50, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That prose looks much better. I'm not sure if it's clear to the casual reader, though, that the "corresponding" or "subsequent" Colbert Report episode refers to the fact that the Daily Show and Colbert Report air back-to-back. I tried to make it a bit more clear. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:23, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There are a few dead refs in the article. If the information they reference can be found in any of the other sources you've included, it would be preferable to go ahead and reallocate the info to one of the other sources. Then I'd like to see all of these sources archived using something like WebCite (using the archiveurl= and archivedate= fields in the reference template) so future readers of the article can be guaranteed access to these online sources in the future.

 * Dead refs:
 * The Associated Press: Obama backs Jon Stewart's sanity rally on Oct. 30
 * Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert rally allows Americans to revel in satire
 * Thousands descend on National Mall for Stewart's and Colbert's 'Sanity' rally
 * In election's shadow, rally draws laughs, activism
 * Dead refs have been replaced. I'll check out the prose now. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:03, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
