Yes, this happened to me too. Another viewer using Direct TV reported it on Facebook. Even if you go to Comedy Channel's On-Demand to view it, the video is black and only the audio is broadcast. My recording just stops totally a couple of minutes into the monologue.

I had the same problem. At about the 5 minute mark, my recording went black and stopped. When I fast forwarded through about 5 minutes of commercials and tried to resume the recording at that point, it just jumped back to the place where it stopped and repeated the same 5 minutes of commercials.

I checked Xfinity Stream for this recording, and although scheduled it was conspicuously absent from the list of recordings.

Finally, I tried On Demand TV and searched for Comedy Central. I played the On Demand version, and it went black at about 5 minutes, but the audio continued. I did listen to the audio, and note that Jon Stewart did an exposé on numerous unkept promises made by Trump and his cronies. Is there some kind of censorship going on? Or what? Conveniently, the video returned when Stewart interviewed his guest author.

Did the Trump administration have anything to do with this? A happy 100 day surprise!

Hi user_yme650, that's a hilarious show, so I can see why you're reaching out. It's possible there was a brief interruption that impacted the network. Are you still seeing any picture quality issues on your end? When it happened, was it live or a recording?

Please work with Comedy Central to get the un-glitched episode loaded to the On Demand server.

Thanks in advance.

Also, S30Ep52, April 17, 2025, is missing from On Demand.
