We realize those conditions might narrow the field just a bit, but you shouldn't worry either way: the Comedy Central app is now available for Microsoft's newest gaming console. With it comes access to current shows the day after they air and a trove of past seasons and catalog programming, too. The Daily Show network notes on Xbox Wire (http://news.xbox.com/2014/09/ent-comedy-central-xbox-one)that there's a bunch of stand-up specials and digital shorts available on the app (similar to its Xbox 360 counterpart (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/30/xbox-comedy-central-nickelodeon/)) as well. The difference between this and Hulu Plus (http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/12/hulu-south-park-deal/), of course, is that accessing the shows is free with your existing cable subscription. It's even more of a deal in the wake of Microsoft not requiring (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/13/xbox-live-gold-netflix-hulu/) an Xbox Live Gold membership to access media apps. With enough time, the Xbox One could even start to pay for itself -- assuming you only watch Comedy Central, that is.
