Hall & Oates in Colmes Tribute

Daryl Hall and John Oates made a surprise appearance on The Daily Show last night to sing a tribute to Fox News’ “token liberal” Alan Colmes, who is leaving the network shortly. The song Daryl Hall said he had just written turned out to be a reworking of the classic Hall & Oates hit “She’s Gone.” It was the final episode of The Daily Show for this year.
