An article about Adam Chodikoff

There's an article in the Washington Post today about the guy who researches video clips for the Daily Show, Adam Chodikoff.

"He has this amazing memory for sound bites about anything political or about policy," says David Javerbaum, executive producer of "The Daily Show." "What's remarkable is how many ideas he initiates because he remembered that this guy said this or that a year ago."

Chodikoff "sees the whole picture," says Rob Kutner, one of the show's writers. He's "in the news matrix. He spots patterns, trends, the forces of history. He remembers a politician saying the opposite thing three years ago and gets us to that video."

The montages of video clips are one of my favourite parts of the show, so hats off to Mr. Chodikoff.
