The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear was a quasi-political rally held on October 30, 2010 in Washington DC featuring comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and sponsored by Comedy Central. With both comedians’ shows being distinctly political, having a rally in Washington DC seemed a logical extension of the concept. The rally was initially announced as two (intentionally) competing events – the Rally to Restore Sanity with Jon Stewart, and the Rally to Keep Fear Alive with Stephen Colbert. Ultimately, these two events were combined into one single event on the National Mall, about four blocks west of the Capitol.
