I missed being on The Daily Show by that much
On the plus side I got a master list of Oktoberfests in the USA.
Oktoberfest Committee President Bob Kurtz said a crew of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will be in Cullman Monday to record Oktoberfest activities throughout the day and that night at the tent behind the Cullman County Museum. The focus of the spot will be that the celebration held inside a dry county does not include beer.
[...]
Cullman has been hit in the past with national media attention poking fun that Cullman's annual celebration of its heritage is a dry Oktoberfest that doesn't have a lot of oomp-pah-pah to it.
But those taking part in the first night of the 10-day event said that beer is not a prerequisite for having a good time at Oktoberfest.
...
It's an Oktoberfest. Ok-to-ber-fest. That means stout german women carrying four mugs of ale in two hands.
Dancing.
Singing.
Merriment.
Dictonary.com describes it as "An autumn festival that usually emphasizes merrymaking and the consumption of beer."
Don't make me come down their with a pony keg and a purpose.
