[edit] September 21, 1999 show
On this date, The Daily Show (with host Jon Stewart,) ran a segment called A Hare Piece. This segment had an interview with furry artist Richard James Concepcion, creator of Rapid T. Rabbit (leading character in the Rapid T. Rabbit and Friends cable television show, as well as being Concepcion's fursona) about his show.
In an online review of the segment, media review site Pressed Fur had this to say:

[edit] October 2000 show
Almost a year later, The Daily Show ran a segment about Gaylaxicon 2000, which included some furry-related material. For this segment, Pressed Fur states that:
|
| the word "furry" isn't used at all. Instead, we're treated to the loftier term "anthropomorphic erotica."[2] |
