Version 0 of 1. Hillary Clinton is making the "Daily Show" one of the last visits on her whirlwind publicity tour for "Hard Choices", her memoir of her time as Secretary of State. It's not the first time she's been on the show. She first visited in 2003, as a senator from New York. Stewart and Clinton talked about newly elected California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and hard choices. Or as 2003-era Hillary Clinton called them "tough decisions." She also made some digs at the Bush administration.

She deflected by telling Stewart he should run. And, of course, they discussed her new book, "Living History."

In her 2008 interview, she was in Austin, Texas. She was obviously trying to get a bit of goodwill before the Texas and Ohio primaries. Going on the "Daily Show" right then, she conceded jokingly, was "pretty pathetic." It was your standard stump speech fare.

Jon Stewart has a lot of material to work with. Although Clinton has only been on the "Daily Show" studio twice, the program has mentioned her quite a bit in the past decade. And lately, it's been to make fun of her publicity tour for "Hard Choices." Stewart poked fun at her attempts to connect with middle-class voters on finances, accusing her of having "poverty Tourettes."

In the end, the interview isn't likely to be too riveting, but it does make us wonder what Daily Show magic could follow another Clinton presidential bid. They've done some great stuff on the subject over the years. Like on her new Twitter account.

Here's a "Sex in the City"-inspired segment on whether America is ready for a woman president.
