So you know what really helps a 2 year-old start potty training?
Taking her potty out of storage.
I truly can not believe someone hasn’t asked me to write a parenting book yet.
While 2 year-old Summer has finally started to take a brief peek at life outside the diaper, my husband Rick has been making an appearance on “The Daily Show.” And when I say “appearance,” I mean, “being ridiculed.”
But heck, it’s “The Daily Show!” That’s way cooler than an Emmy.
Did you see him? The last anchor in that montage?!
So anyway, despite Rick’s assurances to not freak out, I’m off to obsess over Swine Flu or whatever we’re calling it today.
And of course, to follow the breaking news story in People Magazine that Sasha and Malia may be shirking their dog responsibilities.
Man, at least that one we saw coming.

We saw Rick and stopped to rewind it–he’s super cool, mocked or no he was on Jon Stewart!
I’d much rather be mocked by Stewart than oh let’s say, O’Reilly!
This entire Swine Flu thing (lets call it what it is, after all), is kinda getting out of hand. OK well maybe I was the one at Rite Aid buying a gallon of Purell…
The book comment made me laugh out loud! That’s how I feel sometimes too.
And that was your husband? Cool! I would kill to be mocked by Jon Stewart. heheheh
OK, maybe not kill but maybe push!
Congrats to Rick–what could be a better than Jon Stewart?
Very cool, but we all know what would be cooler than the Daily Show:
GOSSIP GIRL CAMEO.
Or at the very least, a 90210 bit part.
That would not have been quite as funny had it not been your husband on their! That had me laughing out loud and my kids running to see why, and it is so true, oh so true. At least it wasn’t a clip of you coaxing your 2 year old onto the potty.
Oh that is so funny. The one day I miss the show – oh wait! I have it on DVR. I can show my husband tonight. 🙂
I heart Jon Stewart, therefore I heart anyone who appears in any way on his show, so I heart Rick. [in an appropriate way]
Hope you’re not still obsessing about swine-flu – I mean, with a famous husband and all hopefully that will distract you!
Like they say, any publicity is good publicity! Plus, Jon Stewart is hilarious!
Have a great weekend!
well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle….That’s YOUR RICK on The Daily Show! And I met him!! Rick. Not John.
If Jon ridiculed me, I could die and consider myself successful. Wait, I’m confusing “ridicule” with “flirt”.
Hahaha! That is awesome! Even if he is being raked across the coals, it is still pretty cool that he got on the Daily Show. 😉 I’d be insanely over the moon about it, if it was me! Of course, I was nearing heart palpitation territory when Guy Kawasaki @’ed me on twitter to answer a question I asked him!! *swooooon* 🙂
Woo-hoo! You know what they say — all publicity is good publicity!
Much better than an Emmy! You have to dust an Emmy…
is it lame i didn’t realise rick was an anchor? that’s FREAKIN’ awesome!!! we get jon stewart here – he’s freakin hilarious
Did Rick Twitter about that one?
oohh! you must be so proud- congrats to Rick :-} and props to you for finding the potty!!
I saw Rick on the Daily Show and I about fell off of the elliptical machine (I watch the show when it re-airs in the a.m.) I know he’s a big fancy anchor in NYC, but making it on the Daily Show is huge!
okay, that is too funny. I am not exactly freaking out, but probably will by end of day tomorrow.
So cool! You probably should stop talking to most of us now.
THAT is very cool.
My husband gets mocked on a daily basis and not even on tv and he gets all grumpy about it. How does Rick feel? Huh. Would it be better if I mocked my husband on National tv.
I can’t win here.
I am with Rick. I will NOT freak out about hamthrax. I just won’t
Go ricki, go ricki!!!! Nice.
I hope you prepared Rick for this by mocking him around the house. And nice move on the potty training! I assume that you already crazy glued all the toilets shut, too, right?
well, we’ve all been mocked at some point, but not by Jon Stewart! That’s so cool!!
Yeah, I’m pretty sure celebrities (and their families) don’t get the swine flu. Its just a given of show business. Now some tragic accident with a plastic potty? totally believeable. So watch it…
We have an award for you over at lipstickdaily!
Wow…on Stewart! You guys really are too big time for me;)
Now excuse me…I have to go wash my hands…
Can you send me the link? I’m reading this at work (shhhh) and it says “active content removed.”
Can’t wait to see it!
Fabulous! I’d be freaking out.
The link didn’t work before for me – that’s awesome. Very cool…Hope all goes well with the move.
