"Where," you've been asking yourself, "can Portfolio really succeed online?" This morning that questioned was answered with Matt Cooper's blog post "Behind the Scenes at Daily Show," an account from his appearance on last night's show.

Can you believe Jon Stewart actually visits the green room, personally, to thank guests for appearing? And that bleeping out the curse words for the broadcast version is funnier than the live version?

And then there's the whole recounting of his blood pressure spike.

Walking out on stage, negotiating the step up to the platform and sitting down in one smooth motion seems easy enough but I was so nervous that I felt like an Olympic gymnast running to the vault. Before walking out I asked the producer if I should wave to the audience, she said the last person who did was Halle Berry. I thought better not to although when you first walk out you're struck by how large the studio is and you can't help but look around. Besides I wanted to see my Portfolio colleagues, Megan Angelo and Eileen Soltes, to see them in the audience but was blinded by the kleig lights.

So it's the walking-out-on-stage and sitting-down-in-chair-on-The Daily Show part that's really got Coop all flustered? This is the same man, the former political editor of Time.com, who testified in front of a grand jury for the Valerie Plame case after being held in the national spotlight and threatened with contempt of court and helped get Scooter Libby in all that trouble, right?

Okay, just checking which guy with sweaty palms sits on Portfolio's masthead.
