How do you cap off a multi-network prime-time special watched by millions? Well, if you're Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, you do a victory lap on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Senator Obama appeared on the Comedy Central show via satellite from Sunrise, Florida to tell Mr. Stewart, "I'm doing great... I think we've got a good shot at this thing."

A few of the Senator's jokes fell flat—a story about his daughter worrying that his "infomercial" will preempt her shows kinda went nowhere—but he showed good humor when he told Mr. Stewart that "There's a certain segment of hardcore Sean Hannity fans that probably wouldn't want to go have a beer with me."

He also deadpanned that he's been "going through therapy" to help him decide whom to vote for on election day.
