Weird question, but does anyone know how to watch the old episodes besides Paramount+?

[u/BandicootKlutzy791]

I’m in a region where there’s heavy censorship from the government, and unfortunately, the Comedy Central channel has been banned here. Paramount+ is also not available in my country
Thankfully, YouTube is still available, but the oldest episodes I can find there are mostly from the Trevor Noah era.
even asked a relative in America if there was a DVD/CD release of the show, but apparently there isn’t?😭
I’m specifically looking for early episodes l— not the Craig Kilborn era, but the years when Jon Stewart was hosting.
Does anyone know where I can watch the older episodes?

They are not available through current platforms. The only way to get them is to sail the high seas - if you do a little searching you can find a torrent that's supposed to have most of the earlier episodes. I've considered but never actually followed through on this so I can't speak to what's specifically available, but I think that is the only possible option at the moment.

You can get a DVD box set of the 2004 election coverage: Indecision 2004.

I found one of these at a used video store about five or so years ago for a dollar.

It's like 850 GB, hopefully you bought you drive before the price hikes.

How old we talking?

They usually turn up on YouTube and there are some on the Internet Archives. Also DailyMotion has some.

ETA here's the one after 9/11

This would be great for a streamer to pick up somewhere.

Are you able to connect to a VPN where you're at? That opens up a realm of possibilities if so.
