I was having the same problem on windows. It was a pain but I did figure it out 
eventually:
- If you have flashblock, add thedailyshow.com to its whitelist.
- Make sure network.http.sendRefererHeader in ff is set to 2.
- I have Norton Internet Security. In its Privacy Control -> Configure -> 
Advanced  menu, I changed the "Defaults" options under "Information about 
visited sites" from "Permit same site" to Permit. YMMV - this is just another 
control for the referer header information that your firewall software may have.
