The story in question is Maziar Bahari, who has been on The Daily Show, and participated in a sketch in Iran with Jason Jones that came up during Bahari's imprisonment. We had a couple of threads on the matter, which revolved around whether The Daily Show cause Bahari's imprisonment.

Correspondents have hosted TDS before, but it's been a long time, and it's never been for a summer. Example: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-july-6-2004/colbert-hosts- I was under the impression that Oliver has had a turn before, but that might have been linked to a particular segment.
