Rick Sanchez was lucky to have lost his CNN job on a Friday. Along with calling "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart a "bigot," Sanchez made off-color comments about Jews on Thursday before being fired by the network. But the weekend allowed the dust to (mostly) settle, and without the late-night jokesters laughing at his expense, Sanchez could pack his things in peace. And in disgrace, of course.
At a charity event on Saturday, Stewart couldn't resist entirely. When he asked attendees to make a donation toward autism education, he said: "If you dented a car, $50. If you cheated on something to get ahead, $500. And if you went on radio and said the Jews control the media … you better hold onto your money." He showed some restraint, but on Monday night on "The Daily Show," Stewart had his chance, and he took the high road. More or less.
"I want to clarify something here; we weren't making fun of Rick Sanchez because of some slight to his ethnicity," Stewart said on Monday's show. "It's just that we here see him as kind of a complex television character, who is flawed but fascinating to watch every week, and we put this whole bit together to kind of demonstrate that point. And then they fire the guy! So doing the whole bit now just seems kind of mean." Stewart paused. "But you gotta have just a little taste of it!"
The montage that followed perfectly paired clips of Sanchez with Michael Scott, the bumbling, politically incorrect boss on "The Office," who, Stewart noted, needs a replacement. "Sanchez is available," Stewart reminded, in his trademark, condescending falsetto.
As for Sanchez, sensitive as he is, he has to know this ribbing could've been much worse.

Name: The Jingle Player iPad app [iTunes link]
Quick Pitch: Find pre-licensed, musical content from up-and-coming bands on-the-go with a music discovery app specifically aimed toward business-to-business clients.
Genius Idea: Jingle Punks really tackles two arenas: 1) It provides filmmakers, TV networks, media companies and ad companies with an easy way to find music. Basically, it’s
Jingle Punks launched about two years ago, the brainchild of musician Jared Gutstadt and developer Dan Demole. The two drunkenly conceptualized the idea at a Black Keys concert in Brooklyn (in case you doubt the rock ‘n’ roll-ability of the pair). Basically, the two wanted to provide companies with new and dynamic music and bands with a way to get their songs out there.
Before last week, the service was limited to the web, where it lived as a tool called The Jingle Player. It basically let registered users (it’s only open to businesses at the moment, but Demole and Gutstadt plan to expand to consumers in later iterations in which music will be available for purchase via PayPal or credit card) discover and download music for project use by searching based on factors like band name, film title, mood, etc. The player also lets users tweak choices by narrowing according to genre and drilling into keywords.
Now, the duo have brought the experience into the
You can search for a band — say, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti — and check out related songs. You can then make a playlist based on your project — perhaps for your breakout film, Zombified Subway Ride to Hell — and add relevant songs to said list by simply clicking lists.
If you want to send this playlist to your team members for approval — or so they can get started scoring your flick — simply click “Wrap list,” which lets you bundle all your songs in either MP3 or WAV format for later download, or “Share list,” which allows you to share jams in webpage form. Gutstadt made us a vid explaining the process if you require further explication.
Yes, there are a ton of music discovery apps on the market, but according to the dudes over at Jingle Punks, this is the first-ever mobile music supervision application for the iPad, making businesses privy to the 20,000 song library wherever they happen to be. We can see this app being extremely useful to folks who are always traveling to meetings, etc., and can’t be tied down to a PC. It could also be pretty useful during business meetings/brainstorming sessions.
Furthermore, the whole service is also a boon to musicians. Like we hinted at in the intro, making money in the music industry right now is a bit more complicated than it was in the past — album sales and constant touring don’t cut it anymore. Getting a song in a commercial, a TV show or a film can be a great source of income — and exposure.
As Gutstadt tells us, “In the past, the way people used to pitch music for media placements is that they would mail CDs off to as many music supes or producers they could. Once CDs were on someone’s desk, there were still obstacles to prevent an artist from actually getting listened to. In theory, we have removed the giant pile of CDs on peoples’ desks and aggregated them into a user-friendly database organized in a dynamic way.”
There’s a lot more to say on the subject of how artists can use tools such as these to make money/get exposure, but that’s a post for another day — so keep an eye for that. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a most detailed view of the app, take a look at the video below.
