Pawlenty’s Daily Show advice

Gov. Pawlenty, who is scheduled to be on Comedy Central's Daily Show on Thursday, said he expects the discussion with host John Stewart to focus on the news of the day. When asked if he wanted to try out any lines on the press corps, Pawlenty responded that his advice for anyone going on that show is not to be funnier than Jon Stewart.

"He's the king of the show," Pawlenty said.
