Griswold - The segment on the bell chimes controversy in Jewett City scheduled to air tonight on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" has been rescheduled to Monday.

Developing national news issues forced show producers Thursday to postpone airing the local clip, according to a spokesman with Comedy Central, the cable network that broadcasts the satirical newscast.

On Feb. 1 representatives from the show spent the day in the borough interviewing business owner Philip Anthony, resident Ron Ward and Norwich resident William Russell.

Russell, an atheist, brought a complaint against the borough and town governments in November claiming that the municipally owned sound system that plays the bell chime music from the belfry of the Jewett City Baptist Church is a constitutional violation.

The Daily Show appears at 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
