October 29, 2007 - November 1, 2007

Cooperstown, Boston, Lowell, Cleveland, Anaheim, and Denver. This was baseball week. Those were playoff teams, and one playoff player. They used baseball week again the next year.

On October 31, they actually did away with the baseball cities, and had Frankenstein, Tombstone, and Transylvania for Halloween. They went back to baseball the next night (which happened to have David Wright as a guest). That November 1 show would be the last until January 7, 2008. Stupid strike.

Monday, October 15, 2007

October 15, 2007 - October 18, 2007

Walla Walla, Podunk, Peoria, and Cucamonga. These were go-to "random" places. Hicksville could have been on there.

Monday, October 8, 2007

October 7, 2007 - October 11, 2007

Madras, Ningbo, Leeds, and Inchon. I can't really see what these places have in common. Sometimes these themes are topical, so it might have made more sense at the time.

Monday, October 1, 2007

October 1, 2007 - October 4, 2007

O'Fallon, Falls Church, Fallis, McFall, and Cuyahoga Falls. After the previous week, this looked almost lazy. It's seasonal, and has some unexpected use of "fall," though.

Monday, September 24, 2007

September 24, 2007 - September 27, 2007

Giza, Babylon, Alexandria, Olympia, Ephesus, and Halicarnassus. These were locations of the seven wonders of the ancient world. I didn't see Rhodes, but it might have been there. This was one of my favorites.

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

September 18, 2007 - September 20, 2007

Hamburg, Cayenne, Bologna, Corona Beach. These were things you eat/drink.

Monday, September 10, 2007

September 10, 2007 - September 13, 2007

Thermopylae, Hastings, Stalingrad, Gettysburg, Verdun, and Zama. These were famous battle sites. I went to one of the tapings this week, and I think there was at least one more city.

Monday, August 20, 2007

August 20, 2007 - August 23, 2007

St. Tropez, Cairns, Ipanema, Patong, Clifton, and Milos. These were beaches.

Monday, August 13, 2007

August 13, 2007 - August 16, 2007

Nakaunnayok, Bjelostock, Vladivastok, Gangtok, Woodstock, and Pitsanulok. Some of these were very difficult to transcribe.

Tuesday, August 7, 2007

August 7, 2007 - August 9, 2007

El Obeio, El Paso, El Alto, El Aaiun, and Elizabeth. Like the previous week with Monrovia, this one kind of included wordplay.

Monday, July 30, 2007

July 30, 2007 - August 2, 2007

Jackson, Madison, Washington, Cleveland, Lincoln, and Monrovia. I didn't see it, but I bet Jefferson City was in there, too. Very presidential.

Monday, July 23, 2007

July 23, 2007 - July 26, 2007

Bordeaux, Tacoma, Odessa, Wellington, Mumbai, and Vientiane. Maybe they went back to a random assortment of places.

Monday, July 16, 2007

July 16, 2007 - July 19, 2007

Kaduna, Belfast, Fukuoka, Montreal, and Rota. I can't see a theme among these. Rota and Fukuoka aren't major world cities. On July 18, when Matt Groening was a guest, the globe also included Springfield.

Monday, June 25, 2007

June 25, 2007 - June 28, 2007

As far as I can tell, this was our first "theme." After New York, there was New Fugumui, New Ilo, New Delhi, New Zia, and New Mirpur.

Monday, June 18, 2007

June 18, 2007 - June 21, 2007

Luanda, Sucre, Halifax, Tbilisi, Vaduz, Oaxaca, and Rome. If you looked Tbilisi up in Wikipedia around this time, you would've been better informed come the following summer.

Monday, June 11, 2007

June 11, 2007 - June 14, 2007

Riyadh, Irkutsk, Bangui, Havana, Paris, Kathmandu, and Tirana. The cities were piling up, but there's a pretty inexhaustible list from which to draw.

Monday, June 4, 2007

June 4, 2007 - June 7, 2007

Minsk, Canberra, Belmopan, Mangua, and Kigali. Some of these were good review for those who've slacked on geography.

Monday, May 21, 2007

May 21, 2007 - May 24, 2007

Portland, Manila, Damascus, Athens, Istanbul. Portland reminds me of Tucson.

Tuesday, May 15, 2007

May 15, 2007 - May 17, 2007

Shanghai, Havana, Florence, Honolulu, and Pretoria. If I had an HDTV, or were in the audience for every episode, I'd be able to catch more of these.

Monday, May 7, 2007

May 7, 2007 - May 10, 2007

Seville, Tucson, Jakarta, Caracas, Beirut, Kiev, Vienna, Lima, and Mecca. And New York, of course. Tucson is rather inexplicable.

Monday, April 30, 2007

April 30, 2007 - May 3, 2007

Christchurch, Harare, Quito, Berlin, Lima, Beijing, Auckland, Rome, and Seoul. New York stayed of course. New York is omnipresent. Chuck O'Neil was simply picking major world cities at this point.

Monday, April 9, 2007

April 9, 2007 was the first day of the Daily Show's new set. Above Jon's desk was a globe, and on this globe were cities. New York, Bangkok, Sydney, Atlanta, Hong Kong, Paris, Los Angeles, and Barcelona were among them. These cities stayed all week, through April 12. They were there the next week, from April 16 through April 19, and the following one, from April 23 through April 26. New York would stay always.
