That was my head!

While entering the final commercial on last night’s Daily Show, a camera swung over the audience — and if you look really, really closely (I recommend a VCR with a slow-motion function) you can see, for a second or two, the top of my head sitting in the audience. (Well, all of me was sitting in the audience — it’s not like I gave the top of my head the night off or anything. That’s just the only thing you can see.)

That was the first time I’ve been to a live taping of, well, pretty much anything, and it was a blast. The studio is much smaller than I’d expected; the group I was with — a dozen Columbia students — were sitting just a few yards from Jon Stewart’s anchor desk. And Stewart was even funnier in his interaction with the audience than he is on the show.

Now, all I have to figure out is this: should I put “featured on Comedy Central’s Daily Show” under education or employment on my resume?
