Winner: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"

Why: He just had more content today. The threat down featuring Dawn soap was a clever bit of comedy writing and scary truth, so there is that. But shockingly, and this is some big news, I think it was his interview with New York City farmer Manny Howard that took the cake. His story about fighting a rabbit off with a dust pan was some stunningly hilarious, and sad, stuff.

Loser: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"

Why: As mentioned above, Colbert just had more material. But Stewart had some shining moments, though I'm not sure about the inclusion of Olivia Munn as a correspondant. We will have to see if she can stay the course and make it all work when there are some many new, and obviously old, correspondants.
