The Daily Show (TDS) is an American late-night talk and satirical news television program. It airs each Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central with release shortly after on Paramount+ of extended episodes. The Daily Show draws its comedy and satire from recent news stories as well as political figures, media organizations, and often uses self-referential humor.[1]

The half-hour-long show premiered on July 22, 1996, and was first hosted by Craig Kilborn until December 17, 1998. Jon Stewart then took over as the host from January 11, 1999, until August 6, 2015, making the show more strongly focused on political satire and news satire, in contrast with the pop culture focus during Kilborn's tenure. Stewart was succeeded by Trevor Noah, whose tenure began on September 28, 2015. Under the different hosts, the show has been formally known as The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn from 1996 to 1998, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart from 1999 until 2015, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah from 2015 to 2022. The Daily Show is the longest-running program on Comedy Central (counting all three tenures), and has won 24 Primetime Emmy Awards.[2]

The program has been popular among young audiences. The Pew Research Center suggested in 2010 that 74% of regular viewers were between 18 and 49, and that 10% of the audience watched the show for its news headlines, 2% for in-depth reporting, and 43% for entertainment; compared with respectively 64%, 10% and 4%, who said the same of CNN.[3]

Critics chastised Stewart for not conducting sufficiently hard-hitting interviews with his political guests, some of whom he may have lampooned in previous segments. Stewart and other Daily Show writers responded to such criticism by saying that they do not have any journalistic responsibility and that as comedians, their only duty is to provide entertainment. Stewart's appearance on the CNN show Crossfire picked up this debate, where he chastised the CNN production and hosts for not conducting informative and current interviews on a news network.[4]

In September 2022, Noah announced he would step down as the host of The Daily Show.[5] His last episode as host was on December 8, 2022. A new permanent host has not been chosen.

Format

Opening segment

Originally, during Trevor Noah's tenure as host, each episode begins with announcer Drew Birns announcing the date and the introduction, "From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah".[6][7] Previously, the introduction was "This is The Daily Show, the most important television program, ever." The host then opens the show with a monologue drawing from current news stories and issues. Previously, the show had divided its news commentary into sections known as "Headlines", "Other News", and "This Just In"; these titles were dropped from regular use on October 28, 2002, and were last used on March 6, 2003. Some episodes will begin with a 1–3 minute intro on a small story (or small set of stories) before fully transitioning into the main story of the night.

Correspondent segments

The monologue segment is often followed by a segment featuring an exchange with a correspondent, either at the anchor desk with the host or reporting from a false location in front of a greenscreen showing stock footage. They typically present absurd or humorously exaggerated takes on current events against the host's straight man. Some correspondent segments involve the show's members travelling to different locations to file comedic reports on current news stories and conduct interviews with people related to the featured issue.

Correspondents are typically introduced as the show's "senior" specialist in the story's subject, and can range from relatively general (such as Senior Political Analyst) to absurdly specific (such as Senior Religious Registry Correspondent). The cast of correspondents is quite diverse, and many often sarcastically portray extreme stereotypes of themselves to poke fun at a news story, such as "Senior Latino Correspondent", "Senior Youth Correspondent" or "Senior Black Correspondent".

While correspondents stated to be reporting abroad are usually performing in-studio in front of a greenscreen background, on rare occasions, cast members have recorded pieces on location. For instance, during the week of August 20, 2007, the show aired a series of segments called "Operation Silent Thunder: The Daily Show in Iraq" in which correspondent Rob Riggle reported from Iraq.[8] In August 2008, Riggle traveled to China for a series of segments titled "Rob Riggle: Chasing the Dragon", which focused on the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[9]

Jason Jones traveled to Iran in early June 2009 to report on the Iranian elections, and John Oliver traveled to South Africa for the series of segments "Into Africa" to report on the 2010 FIFA World Cup. In March 2012, Oliver traveled to Gabon, on the west African coast, to report on the Gabonese government's decision to donate $2 million to UNESCO after the United States cut its funding for UNESCO earlier that year. On July 19, 2016, Roy Wood Jr. reported live from the Republican National Convention and talked about Donald Trump's African-American support.[10][11]

Topics have varied widely; during the early years of the show, they tended toward character-driven human interest stories such as Bigfoot enthusiasts. Since Stewart began hosting in 1999, the focus of the show has become more political and the field pieces have come to more closely reflect current issues and debates.[12] Under Kilborn and the early years of Stewart, most interviewees were either unaware or not entirely aware of the comedic nature of The Daily Show. However, as the show began to gain popularity—particularly following its coverage of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections—most of the subjects now interviewed are aware of the comedic element.[13]

Recurring segments

Main article: List of The Daily Show recurring segments

Some segments have recurred periodically throughout different tenures, such as "Back in Black" (segments hosted by comedian Lewis Black) & "Your Moment of Zen". Since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, a common segment of the show has been dubbed "Mess O' Potamia", focusing on the United States' policies in the Middle East, especially Iraq.[14] Elections in the United States were a prominent focus in the show's "Indecision" coverage throughout Stewart & Noah's time as host (the title "InDecision" is a parody of NBC News' "Decision" segment). Since 2000, under Stewart's tenure, the show went on the road to record week-long specials from the cities hosting the Democratic and Republican National Convention.[15] For the 2006 U.S. midterm elections, a week of episodes was recorded in the contested state of Ohio.[16] The "Indecision" & "Democalypse" coverage of the 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 elections all culminated in live Election Night specials.[17]

With Noah as host, one new recurring segment has been "What the Actual Fact", with correspondent Desi Lydic examining statements made by political figures during speeches or events. Under Noah, the continuation of "Democalypse" and "Indecision" also took place with live shows after the Republican National Convention and Democratic National Convention.[18] For the first time, under Noah, the show also went live after all three U.S. presidential debates in 2016.[19]

Interviews

In the show's third act, the host conducts an interview with a celebrity guest. Guests come from a wide range of cultural sources, and include actors, musicians, authors, athletes, pundits, policy experts and political figures.[20] During Stewart's tenure, the show's guests tended away from celebrities and more towards non-fiction authors and political pundits, as well as many prominent elected officials.[14] In the show's earlier years it struggled to book high-profile politicians. (In 1999, for an Indecision 2000 segment, Steve Carell struggled to talk his way off Republican candidate John McCain's press overflow bus and onto the Straight Talk Express).[citation needed] However its rise in popularity, particularly following the show's coverage of the 2000 and 2004 elections, made Stewart according to a Rolling Stone (2006) article, "the hot destination for anyone who wants to sell books or seem hip, from presidential candidates to military dictators". Newsweek labeled it "the coolest pit stop on television".[21][22]

Prominent political guests have included U.S. President Joe Biden,[23] former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama,[24] former British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former Bolivian President Evo Morales, Jordanian King Abdullah II, former Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former Mexican President Vicente Fox.[25]

The show has played host to former and current members of the administration and Cabinet as well as members of Congress. Numerous presidential candidates have appeared on the show during their campaigns, including John McCain, John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.[26]

Closing segment

In a closing segment, there is a brief segue to the closing credits in the form of the host introducing "Your Moment of Zen", a humorous piece of video footage without commentary that has been part of the show's wrap-up since the series began in 1996.[27] The segment often relates to a story covered earlier in the episode, but occasionally is merely a humorous or ridiculous clip. Occasionally, the segment is used as a tribute to someone who has died.[28]

Sometimes, before the "Your Moment of Zen", this segment is used for quick promotions. The host might promote the show that follows right after their broadcast, such as promoting the show @midnight. This time has also been used to promote films, books or stand-up specials that are affiliated with the host.[29][30][31]

In October 2005, following The Colbert Report's premiere, a new feature (sometimes referred to as the toss) was added to the closing segment in which Stewart would have a short exchange with "our good friend, Stephen Colbert at The Colbert Report", which aired immediately after. The two would have a scripted comedic exchange via split-screen from their respective sets. In 2007, the "toss" was cut back to twice per week, and by 2009 was once a week before gradually being phased out. It was used on the 2014 mid-term election night and again just before the final episode of The Colbert Report on December 18, 2014, and returned upon the premiere of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. Stewart then regularly tossed to Wilmore at the end of his Monday night episodes. Under Noah, the "toss" has been used for The Opposition with Jordan Klepper and Lights Out with David Spade.

Studio

The host sits at his desk on the elevated island stage in the style of a traditional news show. The show initially used New York PBS station WNET's facilities until late 1998, when it moved a few blocks to NEP Studio 54. The Colbert Report would claim NEP Studio 54 in 2005.[32][33] On July 11, 2005, the show premiered in its new studio, NEP Studio 52, at 733 11th Avenue, a few blocks west of its former location.[34] The set of the new studio was given a sleeker, more formal look, including a backdrop of three large projection screens. The traditional guests' couch, which had been a part of the set since the show's premiere, was done away with in favor of simple upright chairs. The change was initially not well-received, spawning a backlash among some fans and prompting a "Bring Back the Couch" campaign. The campaign was mentioned on subsequent shows by Stewart and supported by Daily Show contributor Bob Wiltfong.[35][36] The couch was eventually featured in a sweepstakes in which the winner received the couch, round-trip tickets to New York, tickets to the show, and a small sum of money.[37]

On April 9, 2007, the show debuted a new set. The projection screens were revamped (with one large screen behind Stewart, while the smaller one behind the interview subject remained the same), a large, global map directly behind Stewart, a more open studio floor, and a J-shaped desk supported at one end by a globe. The intro was also updated; the graphics, display names, dates, and logos were all changed.[38]

On September 28, 2015, the show debuted a new set alongside the debut of Trevor Noah's tenure. According to Larry Hartman, Noah took a lot of inspiration from Stewart's set.[39] A second on-stage 'jumbo-tron' was added and the colours of the set were made lighter. The graphics, intro, theme music, lower thirds, logo, etc. were also all revamped.[40] On July 19, 2016, the set and graphics were given another change to reflect Democalypse 2016 and denote The Daily Show's RNC and DNC coverage (which was taped in the conventions' respective cities).[41] The new temporary sets had a Washington theme, and was meant to show that Washington is "a little broke" and needs "repair".[42] Though the studio was reverted to its former self after the election week in 2016, the changes to the graphics were kept.

After a stretch of episodes filmed from Trevor Noah's apartment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show returned to a smaller studio at One Astor Plaza, the corporate headquarters of ViacomCBS in Times Square. The new studio had no audience, and a smaller, more intimate atmosphere with muted colors. In April 2022, The Daily Show returned to NEP Studio 52 with a revamped set, combining elements of the Times Square studio with a revamped version of its previous layout.[43]

Production

The show's writers begin each day with a morning meeting where they review material that researchers have gathered from major newspapers, the Associated Press, cable news television channels and websites, and discuss headline material for the lead news segment. Throughout the morning they work on writing deadline pieces inspired by recent news, as well as longer-term projects. By lunchtime, Noah — who describes his role as that of the captain of a team[44] — has begun to review headline jokes. The script is submitted by 3 pm, and at 4:15 there is a rehearsal. An hour is left for rewrites before a 6 pm taping in front of a live studio audience.[6][22]

The Daily Show typically tapes four new episodes a week, Monday through Thursday, forty-two weeks a year.[45] The show is broadcast at 11 PM Eastern/10 PM Central, a time when local television stations show their news reports and about half an hour before most other late-night comedy programs begin to go on the air. The program is rerun several times the next day, including a 7:30 PM Eastern/6:30 PM Central prime time broadcast.[46]

History

Craig Kilborn's tenure (1996–1998)

The Daily Show was created by Lizz Winstead and Madeleine Smithberg[47] and premiered on Comedy Central on July 22, 1996, having been marketed as a replacement for Politically Incorrect (a successful Comedy Central program that had moved to ABC earlier that year).[48] Madeleine Smithberg was co-creator of The Daily Show as well as the former executive producer. A graduate of Binghamton University, she was an executive producer of Steve Harvey's Big Time and a talent coordinator for Late Night with David Letterman.[47]

Aiming to parody conventional newscasts, it featured a comedic monologue of the day's headlines from anchor Craig Kilborn (a well-known co-anchor of ESPN's SportsCenter), as well as mockumentary style on-location reports, in-studio segments and debates from regular correspondents Winstead, Brian Unger, Beth Littleford, and A. Whitney Brown.[49]

Common segments

Common segments included "This Day in Hasselhoff History" and "Last Weekend's Top-Grossing Films, Converted into Lira", in parody of entertainment news shows and their tendency to lead out to commercials with trivia such as celebrity birthdays.[50] Another commercial lead-out featured Winstead's parents, on her answering machine, reading that day's "Final Jeopardy!" question and answer.[51] In each show, Kilborn would conduct celebrity interviews, ending with a segment called "Five Questions" in which the guest was made to answer a series of questions that were typically a combination of obscure fact and subjective opinion.[52] These are highlighted in a 1998 book titled The Daily Show: Five Questions, which contains transcripts of Kilborn's best interviews.[53] Each episode concluded with a segment called "Your Moment of Zen" that showed random video clips of humorous and sometimes morbid interest such as visitors at a Chinese zoo feeding baby chickens to the alligators.[54] Originally the show was recorded without a studio audience, featuring only the laughter of its own off-camera staff members. A studio audience was incorporated into the show for its second season, and has remained since.[55]

Differences between Kilborn's version and Stewart's version

The show was much less politically focused than it later became under Jon Stewart, having what Stephen Colbert described as a local news feel and involving more character-driven humor as opposed to news-driven humor.[12] Winstead recalls that when the show was first launched there was constant debate regarding what the show's focus should be. While she wanted a more news-driven focus, the network was concerned that this would not appeal to viewers and pushed for "a little more of a hybrid of entertainment and politics".[56] The show was slammed by some reviewers as being too mean-spirited, particularly towards the interview subjects of field pieces; a criticism acknowledged by some of the show's cast.[by whom?] Describing his time as a correspondent under Kilborn, Colbert says, "You wanted to take your soul off, put it on a wire hanger, and leave it in the closet before you got on the plane to do one of these pieces."[57] One reviewer from The New York Times criticized the show for being too cruel and for lacking a central editorial vision or ideology, describing it as "bereft of an ideological or artistic center... precocious but empty."[58]

Craig Kilborn's departure

There were reports of backstage friction between Kilborn and head writer Lizz Winstead. Winstead had not been involved in the hiring of Kilborn, and disagreed with him over what direction the show should take. "I spent eight months developing and staffing a show and seeking a tone with producers and writers. Somebody else put him in place. There were bound to be problems. I viewed the show as content-driven; he viewed it as host-driven", she said.[59] In a 1997 Esquire magazine interview, Kilborn made a sexually explicit joke about Winstead. Comedy Central responded by suspending Kilborn without pay for one week, and Winstead quit soon after.[60]

In 1998, Kilborn left The Daily Show to replace Tom Snyder on CBS's The Late Late Show. He claimed the "Five Questions" interview segment as intellectual property, disallowing any future Daily Show hosts from using it in their interviews.[61] Correspondents Brian Unger and A. Whitney Brown left the show shortly before him, but the majority of the show's crew and writing staff stayed on.[62] Kilborn's last show as host aired on December 17, 1998, ending a 386-episode tenure. Reruns were shown until Jon Stewart's debut four weeks later.[63] Kilborn made a short appearance on Jon Stewart's final edition of the Daily Show saying "I knew you were going to run this thing into the ground."[64]

Jon Stewart's tenure (1999–2015)

Shift in content

Comedian Jon Stewart took over as host of the show, which was retitled The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, on January 11, 1999.[65] Stewart had previously hosted Short Attention Span Theater on Comedy Central,[66] two shows on MTV (You Wrote It, You Watch It and The Jon Stewart Show), as well as a syndicated late-night talk show, and had been cast in films and television.[67] In taking over hosting from Kilborn, Stewart initially retained much of the same staff and on-air talent, allowing many pieces to transition without much trouble, while other features like "God Stuff", with John Bloom presenting an assortment of actual clips from various televangelists, and "Backfire", an in-studio debate between Brian Unger and A. Whitney Brown, evolved into the similar pieces of "This Week in God" and Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell's "Even Stevphen". After the change, a number of new features were developed. The ending segment "Your Moment of Zen", previously consisting of a random selection of humorous videos, was diversified to sometimes include recaps or extended versions of news clips shown earlier in the show.[27] The show's theme music, "Dog on Fire" by Bob Mould, was re-recorded by They Might Be Giants shortly after Stewart joined the show.[68][69]

Stewart served not only as host but also as a writer and executive producer of the series. He recalls that he initially struggled with the Kilborn holdover writers to gain control of the show and put his own imprint on the show's voice, a struggle that led to the departure of a number of the holdover writers.[70] Instrumental in shaping the voice of the show under Stewart was former editor of The Onion Ben Karlin who, along with fellow Onion contributor David Javerbaum, joined the staff in 1999 as head writer and was later promoted to executive producer. Their experience in writing for the satirical newspaper, which uses fake stories to mock real print journalism and current events, would influence the comedic direction of the show; Stewart recalls the hiring of Karlin as the point at which things "[started] to take shape". Describing his approach to the show, Karlin said, "The main thing, for me, is seeing hypocrisy. People who know better saying things that you know they don't believe."[13]

Under Stewart and Karlin The Daily Show developed a markedly different style, bringing a sharper political focus to the humor than the show previously exhibited. Then-correspondent Stephen Colbert recalls that Stewart specifically asked him to have a political viewpoint, and to allow his passion for issues to carry through into his comedy.[71] Colbert says that whereas under Kilborn the focus was on "human interest-y" pieces, with Stewart as host the show's content became more "issues and news driven", particularly after the beginning of the 2000 election campaign with which the show dealt in its "Indecision 2000" coverage.[12][72] Stewart himself describes the show's coverage of the 2000 election recount as the point at which the show found its editorial voice. "That's when I think we tapped into the emotional angle of the news for us and found our editorial footing," he says.[73] Following the September 11th attacks, The Daily Show went off the air for nine days. Upon its return, Stewart opened the show with a somber monologue, that, according to Jeremy Gillick and Nonna Gorilovskaya, addressed both the absurdity and importance of his role as a comedian. Commented Stewart:

They said to get back to work, and there were no jobs available for a man in the fetal position. ...We sit in the back and we throw spitballs – never forgetting the fact that it is a luxury in this country that allows us to do that. ...The view from my apartment was the World Trade Center. Now it's gone. They attacked it. This symbol of American ingenuity and strength and labor and imagination and commerce and it is gone. But you know what the view is now? The Statue of Liberty. The view from the south of Manhattan is now the Statue of Liberty. You can't beat that.[74]

— Jon Stewart, Thursday, September 20, 2001, broadcast

Gillick and Gorilovskaya point to the September 11 attacks and the beginning of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as the point at which Jon Stewart emerged as a trusted national figure. Robert Thompson, the director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University, recalled of this period, "When all the news guys were walking on eggshells, Jon was hammering those questions about WMDs."[74]

Broadening the role of the correspondent

During Stewart's tenure, the role of the correspondent broadened to encompass not only field segments but also frequent in-studio exchanges. Under Kilborn, Colbert says that his work as a correspondent initially involved "character driven [field] pieces—like, you know, guys who believe in Bigfoot." However, as the focus of the show has become more news-driven, correspondents have increasingly been used in studio pieces, either as experts discussing issues at the anchor desk or as field journalists reporting from false locations in front of a green screen. Colbert says that this change has allowed correspondents to be more involved with the show, as it has permitted them to work more closely with the host and writers.[12]

Popularity and critical respect

The show's 2000 and 2004 election coverage, combined with a new satirical edge, helped to catapult Stewart and The Daily Show to new levels of popularity and critical respect.[75] Since Stewart became host, the show has won 23 Primetime Emmy Awards and three Peabody Awards, and its ratings steadily increased. In 2003, the show was averaging nearly a million viewers, an increase of nearly threefold since the show's inception as Comedy Central became available in more households.[76] By September 2008, the show averaged nearly two million viewers per night.[77] Senator Barack Obama's interview on October 29, 2008, pulled in 3.6 million viewers.[78]

In the political spectrum

The move towards greater involvement in political issues and the increasing popularity of the show in certain key demographics have led to examinations of where the views of the show fit in the political spectrum. Adam Clymer, among many others, argued in 2004 that The Daily Show was more critical of Republicans than Democrats under Stewart.[79] Stewart, who voted Democratic in the 2004 presidential election,[80] acknowledged that the show had a more liberal point of view, but that it was not "a liberal organization" with a political agenda and its duty first and foremost was to be funny. He acknowledged that the show is not necessarily an "equal opportunity offender", explaining that Republicans tended to provide more comedic fodder because "I think we consider those with power and influence targets and those without it, not."[81] In an interview in 2005, when asked how he responded to critics claiming that The Daily Show is overly liberal, Stephen Colbert, also a self-proclaimed Democrat,[82] said in an interview during the Bush administration, when the Republicans held a majority in the House and Senate: "We are liberal, but Jon's very respectful of the Republican guests, and, listen, if liberals were in power it would be easier to attack them, but Republicans have the executive, legislative and judicial branches, so making fun of Democrats is like kicking a child, so it's just not worth it."[83]

Stewart was critical of Democratic politicians for being weak, timid, or ineffective. He said in an interview with Larry King, prior to the 2006 elections, "I honestly don't feel that [the Democrats] make an impact. They have forty-nine percent of the vote and three percent of the power. At a certain point you go, 'Guys, pick up your game.'"[84] He has targeted them for failing to effectively stand on some issues, such as the war in Iraq, describing them as "incompetent" and "unable... to locate their asses, even when presented with two hands and a special ass map."[85]

Karlin, then the show's executive producer, said in a 2004 interview that while there is a collective sensibility among the staff which, "when filtered through Jon and the correspondents, feels uniform," the principal goal of the show is comedy. "If you have a legitimately funny joke in support of the notion that gay people are an affront to God, we'll put that motherfucker on!"[86]

On September 15, 2003, Senator John Edwards became the first candidate to announce that they were running for president on the show, causing Jon Stewart to jokingly inform him that their show was "fake" and he might have to re-announce elsewhere.[87] On November 17, 2009, Vice President Joe Biden appeared on the show, making him the first sitting vice president to do so.[88] On October 27, 2010, President Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to be interviewed on the show, wherein Obama commented he "loved" the show.[89] Obama took issue with Stewart's suggestion that his health care program was "timid."[90]

After the United States Senate failed to pass and the media failed to cover the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which would provide health monitoring and financial aid to sick first responders of the September 11 attacks, Stewart dedicated the entire December 16, 2010, broadcast to the issue. During the next week, a revived version of the bill gained new life, with the potential of being passed before the winter recess.[91][92] Stewart was praised by both politicians and affected first responders for the bill's passage. According to Syracuse University professor of television, radio and film Robert J. Thompson, "Without him, it's unlikely it would've passed. I don't think Brian Williams, Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer would've been allowed to do this."[93]

Writers' strike

Due to the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike, the show went on hiatus on November 5, 2007. Although the strike continued until February 2008, the show returned to air on January 7, 2008, without its staff of writers. In solidarity with the writers, the show was referred to as A Daily Show with Jon Stewart rather than The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, until the end of the strike.[94] As a member of the Writers Guild of America, Stewart was barred from writing any material for the show himself which he or his writers would ordinarily write.[95] As a result, Stewart and the correspondents largely ad-libbed the show around planned topics.[96]

In an effort to fill time while keeping to the strike-related restrictions, the show aired or re-aired some previously recorded segments, and Stewart engaged in a briefly recurring mock feud with fellow late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Conan O'Brien.[97] The strike officially ended on February 12, 2008, with the show's writers returning to work the following day, at which point the title of The Daily Show was restored.[98]

Stewart's absence in 2013

Starting in June 2013, Jon Stewart took a twelve-week break to direct Rosewater, a drama about a journalist jailed by Iran for four months. Show writer John Oliver replaced Stewart at the anchor desk for two months, to be followed by one month of reruns.[99] Oliver received positive reviews for his hosting,[100][101] leading to his departure from the show in December 2013[102] for his own show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which debuted April 27, 2014, on HBO.[103]

Barack Obama made his final appearance on the show with Jon Stewart as host on July 21, 2015

On February 10, 2015, Stewart announced that he would be leaving the show later in the year. Comedy Central indicated in a statement that The Daily Show would continue without Stewart, saying it would "endure for years to come".[104]

Stewart's final episode aired on August 6 as an hour-long special in three segments. The first featured a reunion of a majority of the correspondents and contributors from throughout the show's history as well as a pre-recorded "anti-tribute" (mocking Stewart) from various frequent guests and "friends" of the show. This included Bill O'Reilly, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie, John Kerry, and Chuck Schumer.[105] The second segment featured a pre-recorded tour of the Daily Show production facility and studio introducing all of the show's staff and crew. The final segment featured a short farewell speech from Stewart followed by the final "Moment of Zen" (being 'his own' moment of zen): a performance of "Land of Hope and Dreams" and "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.[106]

Trevor Noah's tenure (2015–2022)

Trevor Noah was the show's host from 2015 until 2022.

On March 30, 2015, it was announced that Trevor Noah would replace Stewart as host of The Daily Show.[108] Shortly after his announcement, it was revealed that Amy Schumer, Louis C.K., Amy Poehler, and Chris Rock were all considered for the job.[109][110] His first show was on September 28, 2015,[111] with comedian Kevin Hart as his first guest. Noah's premiere episode was simulcast by Viacom on Comedy Central, the Nick at Nite block on Nickelodeon, Spike, MTV, MTV2, mtvU, VH1, VH1 Classic, BET, Centric, CMT, TV Land, Logo TV, and the NickMom block on the Nick Jr. Channel.[112][113]

On September 14, 2017, it was announced that Comedy Central had extended Trevor Noah's contract as host of The Daily Show for five years, through 2022.[114]

Ratings declined by about 37 percent at the start of Noah's tenure. They gradually increased from there, only to fall to the lowest ratings in 15 years in 2020.[115]

On September 29, 2022, during a taping of the show, Noah announced that he would step down as the host of The Daily Show so he could focus on his standup career and touring.[5] On October 2, 2022, it was confirmed that the show will continue on Comedy Central after Noah leaves.[116] On October 12, 2022, it was announced that Noah's final episode would air on December 8.[117] On October 18, 2022, it was announced that Comedy Central may replace Noah with more than one comedian.[118]

Differences between Stewart's version and Noah's version

In addition to changes in the tone of the show, Noah has also implemented stylistic changes to the show, with an updated set,[119] new graphics[120] and his monologue sometimes taking place while standing in front of a screen as opposed to sitting at the desk. Noah also increased the usage of more millennial-based references, impersonations and characterizations for his comedy on the show, due to his younger demographic and his ability to speak in multiple accents and eight languages.[121]

The debut of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah brought along three new correspondents: Roy Wood Jr., Desi Lydic and Ronny Chieng.[122]

Additional correspondents were added in 2017. Michael Kosta became the Senior Constitutional Correspondent and Senior American Correspondent on July 11, 2017.[123] Dulcé Sloan became the Senior Fashion Correspondent on September 7, 2017.[124]

In January 2016, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah started to use a modified version of the show's previous theme, remixed by Timbaland and King Logan.[125]

Noah also avoided talking too much about Fox News, as Stewart was previously known for. "The Daily Show was based on an emerging 24 hour news cycle, that’s everything it was, that’s what inspired The Daily Show. Now you look at news and it’s changed. It’s no longer predicated around 24 hour news. There are so many different choices. Half of it is online now. Now you’ve got the Gawkers, the BuzzFeeds. The way people are drawing their news is soundbites and headlines and click-bait links has changed everything. The biggest challenge is going to be an exciting one I'm sure is how are we going to bring all of that together looking at it from a bigger lens as opposed to just going after one source—which was historically Fox News," Noah said at a press conference before the show's debut.[126]

Stewart visits The Daily Show with Trevor Noah; Jordan Klepper guest hosts

On December 8, 2015, former host Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show for the first time in an extended-length show to return attention to extending the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, otherwise referred to as 9/11 First Responders Bill, which Stewart explained had been blocked by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell for political reasons.[127][128] On October 20, 2016, Noah was unable to host a scheduled taping of The Daily Show due to illness,[129] so correspondent Jordan Klepper guest hosted.

On November 16, 2017, Stewart once again returned to The Daily Show, in part as a parody of the robocalls of fake Washington Post reporter "Bernie Bernstein" and to promote Night of Too Many Stars on HBO.

The Daily Social Distancing Show, expansion, move to Times Square

In March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show suspended production. On March 18, 2020, Comedy Central began to release webisodes of The Daily Show produced remotely from Noah's home, entitled The Daily Social Distancing Show. This format moved to television beginning March 23.[130][131] Following the cancellation of Lights Out with David Spade, The Daily Show expanded into a 45-minute format beginning April 27, 2020.[132] In July 2020, Comedy Central head Chris McCarthy told Vulture that there were plans to possibly extend the show to an hour-long format by the end of the year.[133]

In May 2020, The Daily Show won the 2020 Webby Award for Humor in the category Social.[134]

The at-home format continued until June 2021, when the show went on an extended hiatus for the summer. The Daily Show returned on September 13, 2021, with the show re-located to studios at ViacomCBS's headquarters at One Astor Plaza in Times Square (its existing studio was being occupied by fellow Comedy Central program Tha God's Honest Truth).[135] Comedy Central stated that the show planned to preserve the "intimacy and creative elements" of the home-based episodes.[136][137] The program continued to be filmed with no studio audience; while there were plans to reinstate an audience,[135] this was delayed due to concerns regarding Omicron variant.[135]

In March 2022, it was announced that The Daily Show would go on a hiatus from March 18 to accommodate Noah's hosting of the Grammy Awards on April 3. On April 11, the show returned to Studio 52 with an audience and a redesigned studio.[138][43]

Weekly guest hosts (2023)

On December 6, 2022, Comedy Central announced that until the next iteration of the show, The Daily Show would feature weekly celebrity guest hosts including Al Franken, Wanda Sykes, Leslie Jones, Hasan Minhaj, Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler, John Leguizamo, Marlon Wayans, Kal Penn, and D.L. Hughley, as well as both current and former correspondents.[139] The show returned from hiatus on January 17 with Leslie Jones guest hosting through January 19.[140][141] Jones was followed by Sykes, Hughley, Handler, and Silverman, each hosting a week through February 16.[142] Correspondent Dulcé Sloan had her first and last hosting gig on May 1, 2023, when it was cut short by the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, bumping originally announced guest hosts Michael Kosta, Charlamagne Tha God, Michelle Wolf, Ronny Chieng, Lewis Black, and Desus Nice.[143]

On August 1, 2023, Variety reported that Minhaj was the primary possibility of a permanent replacement host.[144] A day later, The Wrap reported that Penn was also a top candidate.[145]

On September 27, 2023, following the 148-day strike, Comedy Central announced the show would return on October 16 with guest hosts and would not name a permanent host until 2024.[146]

Correspondents, contributors and staff

Main articles: List of The Daily Show correspondents and List of The Daily Show writers

The show's correspondents have two principal roles: experts with satirical senior titles that the main host interviews about certain issues, or hosts of field reporting segments which often involve humorous commentary and interviews relating to a current issue. The current team of correspondents collectively known as "The World's Fakest News Team" (formerly known as "The Best F#@king News Team Ever") includes Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic, Dulcé Sloan, Troy Iwata, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt.[147] Contributors appear on a less frequent basis, often with their own unique recurring segment or topic.[147] Current contributors are Lewis Black and Jordan Klepper.[148] Ben Karlin says that the on-air talent contribute in many ways to the material they perform, playing an integral role in the creation of their field pieces as well as being involved with their scripted studio segments, either taking part early on in the writing process or adding improvised material during the rehearsal.[45]

The show has featured a number of well-known comedians throughout its run and is notable for boosting the careers of several of these. In 2006, The Onion editor-in-chief Scott Dikkers described it as a key launching pad for comedic talent, saying that "I don't know if there's a better show you could put on your resume right now."[149] Steve Carell, who was a correspondent between 1999 and 2005 before moving on to a movie career and starring television role in The Office, credits Stewart and The Daily Show with his success.[150] In 2005, the show's longest-serving correspondent, Stephen Colbert, became the host of the spin-off The Colbert Report, earning critical and popular acclaim.[151] Colbert would host the program until he was chosen to replace David Letterman as host of CBS's Late Show in 2015.[152] Ed Helms, a former correspondent from 2002 to 2006, also starred on NBC's The Office and was a main character in the 2009 hit The Hangover.[153]

After filling in as host during Stewart's two-month absence in the summer of 2013,[154] John Oliver went on to host his own show on HBO, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. In 2016, former correspondent Samantha Bee launched her own late-night talk show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.[155] Bee's husband Jason Jones, also a former correspondent, serves as executive producer for the show.[156] Hasan Minhaj, the last correspondent hired during Stewart's tenure as host, left the show in 2018 to host Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj on Netflix.[157]

In June 2010, actress-comedian Olivia Munn began a tryout period on the show as a correspondent. Her credentials were questioned by Irin Carmon of the website Jezebel, who suggested that Munn was better known as a sex symbol than as a comedian.[158] Carmon's column was denounced by Munn and the Daily Show's female writers, producers, and correspondents, 32 of whom posted a rebuttal on the show's website in which they asserted that the description of the Daily Show office given by the Jezebel piece was not accurate.[159][160] Munn appeared as a Daily Show correspondent in a total of 16 episodes, from June 2010 to September 2011.[161]

Wyatt Cenac had a tumultuous tenure on the show, revealing in a July 2015 interview on WTF with Marc Maron, that his departure stemmed in part from a heated argument he had with Jon Stewart in June 2011 over a bit about Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.[162][163] However, Cenac did return for Stewart's final episode to bid him farewell and the two exchanged an intentionally awkward conversation.[164][165][166][167]

Television ratings from 2008 show that the program generally drew 1.45 to 1.6 million viewers nightly, a high figure for cable television.[172] By the end of 2013 The Daily Show's ratings hit 2.5 million viewers nightly.[173] In demographic terms, the viewership is skewed to a relatively young and well-educated audience compared to traditional news shows. A 2004 Nielsen Media Research study commissioned by Comedy Central put the median age at 35. During the 2004 U.S. presidential election, the show received more male viewers in the 18- to 34-year-old age demographic than Nightline, Meet the Press, Hannity & Colmes and all of the evening news broadcasts.[174]

For this reason, commentators such as Howard Dean and Ted Koppel posited that Stewart served as a real source of news for young people, regardless of his intentions.[175][176] In 2016, a New York Times study of the 50 TV shows with the most Facebook Likes found that The Daily Show was "most popular in cities and other more liberal-leaning areas along the coasts. Peak popularity is in San Francisco; it's least popular in Alabama".[177]

As a news source

The show's writers reject the idea that The Daily Show has become a source of news for young people. Stewart argues that Americans are living in an "age of information osmosis" in which it is close to impossible to gain one's news from any single source, and says that his show succeeds comedically because the viewers already have some knowledge about current events. "Our show would not be valuable to people who didn't understand the news because it wouldn't make sense," he argues. "We make assumptions about your level of knowledge that... if we were your only source of news, you would just watch our show and think, 'I don't know what's happening.'"[178]

A 2006 study published by Indiana University tried to compare the substantive amount of information of The Daily Show against prime time network news broadcasts, and concluded that when it comes to substance, there is little difference between The Daily Show and other news outlets. The study contended that, since both programs are more focused on the nature of "infotainment" and ratings than on the dissemination of information, both are broadly equal in terms of the amount of substantial news coverage they offer.[179]

As the lines between comedy show and news show have blurred, Jon Stewart has come under pressure in some circles to engage in more serious journalism. Tucker Carlson and Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead have chastised Stewart for criticizing politicians and newspeople in his solo segments and then, in interviews with the same people, rarely taking them to task face-to-face. In 2004, Winstead expressed a desire for Stewart to ask harder satirical questions, saying, "When you are interviewing a Richard Perle or a Kissinger, if you give them a pass, then you become what you are satirizing. You have a war criminal sitting on your couch—to just let him be a war criminal sitting on your couch means you are having to respect some kind of boundary."[180] She has argued that The Daily Show's success and access to the youth vote should allow Stewart to press political guests harder without fearing that they will not return to the show.[181] In 2010, Winstead had changed her views, commenting that since 2004, Stewart did some of the hardest-hitting interviews on TV.[182] Stewart said in 2003 that he does not think of himself as a social or media critic and rejects the idea that he has any journalistic role as an interviewer.[183]

During Stewart's appearance on CNN's Crossfire, Stewart criticized that show and said that it was "hurting America" by sensationalizing debates and enabling political spin. When co-host Carlson argued that Stewart himself had not asked John Kerry substantial questions when Kerry appeared on The Daily Show, Stewart countered that it was not his job to give hard-hitting interviews and that a "fake news" comedy program should not be held to the same standards as real journalism. "You're on CNN!" Stewart said, "The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls! What is wrong with you?"[184] Media critic Dan Kennedy says that Stewart came off as disingenuous in this exchange because "you can't interview Bill Clinton, Richard Clarke, Bill O'Reilly, Bob Dole, etc., etc., and still say you're just a comedian."[181]

A 2004 study into the effect of The Daily Show on viewers' attitudes found that participants had a more negative opinion of both President Bush and then Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry. Participants also expressed more cynical views of the electoral system and news media.[185] Political scientists Jody Baumgartner and Jonathan Morris, who conducted the study, state that it is not clear how such cynicism would affect the political behavior of the show's viewers. While disillusionment and negative perceptions of the presidential candidates could discourage watchers from voting, Baumgartner and Morris say it is also possible that discontent could prompt greater involvement and that by following the show, viewers may potentially become more engaged and informed voters, with a broader political knowledge.[186]

Rachel Larris, who has also conducted an academic study of The Daily Show, disputes the findings of Baumgartner and Morris. Larris argues that the study measured cynicism in overly broad terms, and that it would be extremely hard to find a causal link between viewing The Daily Show and thinking or acting in a particular way.[187] Bloggers such as Marty Kaplan of The Huffington Post argue that so long as Stewart's comedy is grounded in truth, responsibility for increased cynicism belongs to the political and media figures themselves, not the comedian who satirizes them.[188]

Stewart himself says that he does not perceive his show as cynical. "It's so interesting to me that people talk about late-night comedy being cynical," he says. "What's more cynical than forming an ideological news network like Fox and calling it 'fair and balanced'? What we do, I almost think, is adorable in its idealism."[189] Stewart has said that he does not take any joy in the failings of American government, despite the comedic fodder they provide. "We're not the guys at the craps table betting against the line," he said on Larry King Live. "If government suddenly became inspiring... we would be the happiest people in the world to turn our attention to idiots like, you know, media people, no offense."[84]

In July 2009, Time magazine held an online poll entitled "Now that Walter Cronkite has passed on, who is America's most trusted newscaster?"[190] Jon Stewart won with 44% of the vote, 15 points ahead of Brian Williams in second place with 29%.[191] Stewart downplayed the results on the show stating "It was an Internet poll and I was the 'None of the above' option".[citation needed]

In June 2013, the Writers Guild of America ranked The Daily Show with Jon Stewart #17 on their list of the 101 Best Written TV Series.[192]

In December 2013, TV Guide ranked it #53 on its list of the 60 Best Series of All Time.[193]

Effectiveness

In late 2004, the National Annenberg Election Survey at the University of Pennsylvania ran a study of American television viewers and found that fans of The Daily Show had a more accurate idea of the facts behind the 2004 presidential election than most others, including those who primarily got their news through the national network evening newscasts and through reading newspapers.[194] However, in a 2004 campaign survey conducted by the Pew Research Center those who cited comedy shows such as The Daily Show as a source for news were among the least informed on campaign events and key aspects of the candidates' backgrounds while those who cited the Internet, National Public Radio, and news magazines were the most informed. Even when age and education were taken into account, the people who learned about the campaigns through the Internet were still found to be the most informed, while those who learned from comedy shows were the least informed.[195]

In a survey released by the Pew Research Center in April 2007, viewers who watch The Daily Show tend to be more knowledgeable about news than audiences of other news sources. Approximately 54% of The Daily Show viewers scored in the high knowledge range, followed by Jim Lehrer's program at 53% and Bill O'Reilly's program at 51%, significantly higher than the 34% of network morning show viewers. The survey shows that changing news formats have not made much difference on how much the public knows about national and international affairs, but adds that there is no clear connection between news formats and what audiences know.[196] The Project for Excellence in Journalism released a content analysis report suggesting that The Daily Show comes close to providing the complete daily news.[197]

Awards and nominations

Main article: List of awards and nominations received by The Daily Show

Under host Jon Stewart, The Daily Show rose to critical acclaim. It has received two Peabody Awards for its coverage of the 2000[198] and 2004 presidential elections.[199] Between 2001 and 2015, it has been awarded 24 Primetime Emmy Awards in the categories of Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Series (winner for 10 consecutive years from 2003 to 2012) and Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music, or Comedy Program, and a further seven nominations. The show has also been honored by GLAAD,[200] the Television Critics Association, and the Satellite Awards. America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, the 2004 bestseller written by Stewart and the writing staff of The Daily Show, was recognized by Publishers Weekly as its "Book of the Year", and its abridged audiobook edition received the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.[201]

In September 2010, Time magazine selected the series as one of "The 100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME".[202] In 2015, the show received its third Peabody Award[203] for the show's "lasting impact on political satire, television comedy and even politics itself."[204]

Global editions

The Daily Show airs on various networks worldwide; in addition, an edited version of the show called The Daily Show: Global Edition was produced each week specifically for overseas audiences until mid-2020. It has been airing outside of the U.S. on CNN International and other overseas networks since September 2002.[205] This edition runs for a half-hour and contains a selection of segments, including one guest interview from the preceding week's shows, usually from the Monday or Tuesday episode. Noah provides an exclusive introductory monologue in front of an audience, usually about the week's prevalent international news story, and closing comments without an audience present.[206] When aired on CNN International, the broadcast is prefaced by a written disclaimer: "The show you are about to watch is a news parody. Its stories are not fact checked. Its reporters are not journalists. And its opinions are not fully thought through."[citation needed]

Since February 27, 2017, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah has been regularly simulcast on Black Entertainment Television.

Between 2001 and 2006, Westwood One broadcast small, ninety-second portions of the show to various radio stations across America.[207]

In Canada, The Daily Show was aired on The Comedy Network (a cable channel similar to Comedy Central), in simulcast with the Comedy Central airing, as well as on the CTV broadcast network at 12:05 a.m. local time, following late local newscasts. After the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, The Daily Show has not been shown on any TV channel in Canada.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the digital television channel More4 used to broadcast episodes of The Daily Show Tuesday through Friday evenings with the Global Edition, which is uncensored, airing on Mondays; regular episodes air the evening following their U.S. airing. More4 was the first international broadcaster to syndicate entire Daily Show episodes, though they made edits to the program due to content, language, length or commercial references. The program was also available to watch via the internet video on demand service 4oD. However, the 'toss' to The Colbert Report was usually included even though it was aired on FX, another channel.[208] In addition, the placement of commercial breaks followed the UK format, with one break midway through the show rather than several short breaks at various points. When The Daily Show was on hiatus, either re-runs or alternative content were aired. Since January 2011, only the Global Edition is broadcast.[209] In July 2012 Comedy Central announced that The Daily Show would be shown on Comedy Central Extra in the same format as previously on More4, with episodes shown 24 hours after airing in the U.S.[210] The show aired on the channel from July 2012 to April 2015.

The Global Edition of the week of July 20, 2011, was not aired in the UK as it included a segment mocking Rupert Murdoch's appearance before the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee in relation to the News International phone hacking scandal.[211] Parliamentary rules ban parliamentary proceedings from being broadcast in a satirical context.[211] Stewart dedicated a segment of the show on August 2, 2011, to lampooning the censorship of the episode in Britain.[212] In May that year, The Daily Show mocked the ban on using footage of the Royal Wedding in a satirical context with an animated video that showed Paddington Bear, Gollum and Adolf Hitler as guests at the wedding, and depicted its attendants engaging in various forms of violent and sexual behavior.[213] Stewart later discussed the ban with guest Keira Knightley.[214]

The Daily Show used to be aired in India on Comedy Central India.[215]

The Daily Show aired on Australian Pay TV channel, The Comedy Channel, weeknights at 6:30pm. Free-to-air digital channel ABC2 began broadcasting the show without commercial breaks in March 2010, but discontinued in January 2011 when The Comedy Channel obtained exclusive rights;[216] episodes were also available on the network's online service ABC iView shortly after airing.[217] The Comedy Channel (as well as ABC2 during 2010) used to air the show together with The Colbert Report, and both air the Global Edition on Mondays and the regular edition Tuesday through Friday. The Global Edition was previously shown weekend late nights on SBS before moving to Network TEN. The show now airs on 10 Shake (owned by Comedy Central parent ViacomCBS).

In North Africa and the Middle East, the Daily Show was broadcast on Showtime Arabia starting in 2008 and ending in 2015. When the show transitioned under Noah, OSN decided to wait a bit before airing the new show.[218] Now, the Global Edition of Noah's show is broadcast on OSN's Comedy Central HD channel.[219] Episodes are often edited if they contain topics deemed inappropriate for the region.

Episodes of the U.S. version are also available online the next day at Comedy Central's official Daily Show website, although this service is not available in all countries. However, clips for UK and Ireland viewers became available on the UK Comedy Central website in December 2011.[220]

The Daily Show: Nederlandse Editie

An official Dutch version of the show called The Daily Show: Nederlandse Editie (The Daily Show: Dutch Edition) premiered on the Dutch Comedy Central on January 31, 2011. The program is similar to the original, except with Dutch news and a Dutch view on international news. The show is hosted by comedian Jan-Jaap van der Wal, who was a team captain on Dit was het nieuws, the Dutch edition of Have I Got News For You.[221] The first episode featured a guest appearance by Jon Stewart (recorded at the New York studio), who gave his official blessing for the show.[222] This is also the first and still only franchise of The Daily Show. The 'Dutch Edition' didn't make it past the test run of 12 episodes due to lack of viewers.

Spin-offs

The Colbert Report

Main article: The Colbert Report

A spin-off, The Colbert Report, was announced in early May 2005. The show starred former correspondent Stephen Colbert, and served as Comedy Central's answer to the programs of media pundits such as Bill O'Reilly. Colbert, Stewart, and Ben Karlin developed the idea for the show based on a series of faux television commercials that had been created for an earlier Daily Show segment. They pitched the concept to Comedy Central chief Doug Herzog, who agreed to run the show for eight weeks without first creating a pilot.[223] The Colbert Report premiered on October 17, 2005, and aired following The Daily Show for nine years. Initial ratings satisfied Comedy Central and less than three weeks after its debut the show was renewed for a year.[224] The Colbert Report was produced by Jon Stewart's production company, Busboy Productions.

In 2014 it was announced that Colbert would leave Comedy Central to host The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS in 2015, following the retirement of David Letterman.[225] The final episode of The Colbert Report aired on December 18, 2014.

The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore

Main article: The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore

January 11 1999 until August 6 2015 making the show more strongly focused on political satire and news satire in contrast with the pop culture focus during Kilborn s tenure Stewart was succeeded by Trevor Noah whose tenure began on September 28 2015 Under the different hosts the show has been formally known as The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn from 1996 to 1998 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Trevor Noah s tenure as host each episode begins with announcer Drew Birns announcing the date and the introduction From Comedy Central s World News Headquarters in New York this is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah 6 7 Previously the introduction was This is The Daily Show the most important television program ever The host then opens the show with a monologue drawing from current news stories and issues Previously the show had divided its news commentary into sections known as Headlines Other News and This Just In these titles were dropped from regular use on October 28 2002 and were last used on March 6 2003 Some episodes will begin with a 1 3 minute intro on a small story or small set of stories before fully transitioning into the main story of the night Correspondent segments The monologue segment is often followed by a segment featuring an exchange with a correspondent either at the anchor desk with the host or reporting from a false location in front of a greenscreen showing stock footage They typically present absurd or humorously exaggerated takes on current events against the host s straight man Some correspondent segments involve the show s members travelling to different locations to file comedic reports on current news stories and conduct interviews with people related to the featured issue Correspondents are typically introduced as the show s senior specialist in the story s subject and can range from relatively general such as Senior Political Analyst to absurdly specific such as Senior Religious Registry Correspondent The cast of correspondents is quite diverse and many often sarcastically portray extreme stereotypes of themselves to poke fun at a news story such as Senior Latino Correspondent Senior Youth Correspondent or Senior Black Correspondent nbsp Former correspondents John Oliver and Wyatt Cenac at the launch of Earth The Book A Visitor s Guide to the Human RaceWhile correspondents stated to be reporting abroad are usually performing in studio in front of a greenscreen background on rare occasions cast members have recorded pieces on location For instance during the week of August 20 2007 the show aired a series of segments called Operation Silent Thunder The Daily Show in Iraq in which correspondent Rob Riggle reported from Iraq 8 In August 2008 Riggle traveled to China for a series of segments titled Rob Riggle Chasing the Dragon which focused on the 2008 Beijing Olympics 9 Jason Jones traveled to Iran in early June 2009 to report on the Iranian elections and John Oliver traveled to South Africa for the series of segments Into Africa to report on the 2010 FIFA World Cup In March 2012 Oliver traveled to Gabon on the west African coast to report on the Gabonese government s decision to donate 2 million to UNESCO after the United States cut its funding for UNESCO earlier that year On July 19 2016 Roy Wood Jr reported live from the Republican National Convention and talked about Donald Trump s African American support 10 11 Topics have varied widely during the early years of the show they tended toward character driven human interest stories such as Bigfoot enthusiasts Since Stewart began hosting in 1999 the focus of the show has become more political and the field pieces have come to more closely reflect current issues and debates 12 Under Kilborn and the early years of Stewart most interviewees were either unaware or not entirely aware of the comedic nature of The Daily Show However as the show began to gain popularity particularly following its coverage of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections most of the subjects now interviewed are aware of the comedic element 13 Recurring segments Main article List of The Daily Show recurring segments Some segments have recurred periodically throughout different tenures such as Back in Black segments hosted by comedian Lewis Black amp Your Moment of Zen Since the 2003 invasion of Iraq a common segment of the show has been dubbed Mess O Potamia focusing on the United States policies in the Middle East especially Iraq 14 Elections in the United States were a prominent focus in the show s Indecision coverage throughout Stewart amp Noah s time as host the title InDecision is a parody of NBC News Decision segment Since 2000 under Stewart s tenure the show went on the road to record week long specials from the cities hosting the Democratic and Republican National Convention 15 For the 2006 U S midterm elections a week of episodes was recorded in the contested state of Ohio 16 The Indecision amp Democalypse coverage of the 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 elections all culminated in live Election Night specials 17 With Noah as host one new recurring segment has been What the Actual Fact with correspondent Desi Lydic examining statements made by political figures during speeches or events Under Noah the continuation of Democalypse and Indecision also took place with live shows after the Republican National Convention and Democratic National Convention 18 For the first time under Noah the show also went live after all three U S presidential debates in 2016 19 Interviews In the show s third act the host conducts an interview with a celebrity guest Guests come from a wide range of cultural sources and include actors musicians authors athletes pundits policy experts and political figures 20 During Stewart s tenure the show s guests tended away from celebrities and more towards non fiction authors and political pundits as well as many prominent elected officials 14 In the show s earlier years it struggled to book high profile politicians In 1999 for an Indecision 2000 segment Steve Carell struggled to talk his way off Republican candidate John McCain s press overflow bus and onto the Straight Talk Express citation needed However its rise in popularity particularly following the show s coverage of the 2000 and 2004 elections made Stewart according to a Rolling Stone 2006 article the hot destination for anyone who wants to sell books or seem hip from presidential candidates to military dictators Newsweek labeled it the coolest pit stop on television 21 22 Prominent political guests have included U S President Joe Biden 23 former Presidents Jimmy Carter Bill Clinton and Barack Obama 24 former British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf former Bolivian President Evo Morales Jordanian King Abdullah II former Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former Mexican President Vicente Fox 25 The show has played host to former and current members of the administration and Cabinet as well as members of Congress Numerous presidential candidates have appeared on the show during their campaigns including John McCain John Kerry Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton 26 Closing segment In a closing segment there is a brief segue to the closing credits in the form of the host introducing Your Moment of Zen a humorous piece of video footage without commentary that has been part of the show s wrap up since the series began in 1996 27 The segment often relates to a story covered earlier in the episode but occasionally is merely a humorous or ridiculous clip Occasionally the segment is used as a tribute to someone who has died 28 Sometimes before the Your Moment of Zen this segment is used for quick promotions The host might promote the show that follows right after their broadcast such as promoting the show midnight This time has also been used to promote films books or stand up specials that are affiliated with the host 29 30 31 In October 2005 following The Colbert Report s premiere a new feature sometimes referred to as the toss was added to the closing segment in which Stewart would have a short exchange with our good friend Stephen Colbert at The Colbert Report which aired immediately after The two would have a scripted comedic exchange via split screen from their respective sets In 2007 the toss was cut back to twice per week and by 2009 was once a week before gradually being phased out It was used on the 2014 mid term election night and again just before the final episode of The Colbert Report on December 18 2014 and returned upon the premiere of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore Stewart then regularly tossed to Wilmore at the end of his Monday night episodes Under Noah the toss has been used for The Opposition with Jordan Klepper and Lights Out with David Spade Studio nbsp Outside of the Daily Show studio pictured in 2007 during Stewart s tenureThe host sits at his desk on the elevated island stage in the style of a traditional news show The show initially used New York PBS station WNET s facilities until late 1998 when it moved a few blocks to NEP Studio 54 The Colbert Report would claim NEP Studio 54 in 2005 32 33 On July 11 2005 the show premiered in its new studio NEP Studio 52 at 733 11th Avenue a few blocks west of its former location 34 The set of the new studio was given a sleeker more formal look including a backdrop of three large projection screens The traditional guests couch which had been a part of the set since the show s premiere was done away with in favor of simple upright chairs The change was initially not well received spawning a backlash among some fans and prompting a Bring Back the Couch campaign The campaign was mentioned on subsequent shows by Stewart and supported by Daily Show contributor Bob Wiltfong 35 36 The couch was eventually featured in a sweepstakes in which the winner received the couch round trip tickets to New York tickets to the show and a small sum of money 37 nbsp The sign over the entryway of the current Daily Show studioOn April 9 2007 the show debuted a new set The projection screens were revamped with one large screen behind Stewart while the smaller one behind the interview subject remained the same a large global map directly behind Stewart a more open studio floor and a J shaped desk supported at one end by a globe The intro was also updated the graphics display names dates and logos were all changed 38 nbsp Outside of the Daily Show studio pictured in 2019 during Noah s tenureOn September 28 2015 the show debuted a new set alongside the debut of Trevor Noah s tenure According to Larry Hartman Noah took a lot of inspiration from Stewart s set 39 A second on stage jumbo tron was added and the colours of the set were made lighter The graphics intro theme music lower thirds logo etc were also all revamped 40 On July 19 2016 the set and graphics were given another change to reflect Democalypse 2016 and denote The Daily Show s RNC and DNC coverage which was taped in the conventions respective cities 41 The new temporary sets had a Washington theme and was meant to show that Washington is a little broke and needs repair 42 Though the studio was reverted to its former self after the election week in 2016 the changes to the graphics were kept After a stretch of episodes filmed from Trevor Noah s apartment due to the COVID 19 pandemic the show returned to a smaller studio at One Astor Plaza the corporate headquarters of ViacomCBS in Times Square The new studio had no audience and a smaller more intimate atmosphere with muted colors In April 2022 The Daily Show returned to NEP Studio 52 with a revamped set combining elements of the Times Square studio with a revamped version of its previous layout 43 ProductionThe show s writers begin each day with a morning meeting where they review material that researchers have gathered from major newspapers the Associated Press cable news television channels and websites and discuss headline material for the lead news segment Throughout the morning they work on writing deadline pieces inspired by recent news as well as longer term projects By lunchtime Noah who describes his role as that of the captain of a team 44 has begun to review headline jokes The script is submitted by 3 pm and at 4 15 there is a rehearsal An hour is left for rewrites before a 6 pm taping in front of a live studio audience 6 22 The Daily Show typically tapes four new episodes a week Monday through Thursday forty two weeks a year 45 The show is broadcast at 11 PM Eastern 10 PM Central a time when local television stations show their news reports and about half an hour before most other late night comedy programs begin to go on the air The program is rerun several times the next day including a 7 30 PM Eastern 6 30 PM Central prime time broadcast 46 HistoryCraig Kilborn s tenure 1996 1998 The Daily Show was created by Lizz Winstead and Madeleine Smithberg 47 and premiered on Comedy Central on July 22 1996 having been marketed as a replacement for Politically Incorrect a successful Comedy Central program that had moved to ABC earlier that year 48 Madeleine Smithberg was co creator of The Daily Show as well as the former executive producer A graduate of Binghamton University she was an executive producer of Steve Harvey s Big Time and a talent coordinator for Late Night with David Letterman 47 Aiming to parody conventional newscasts it featured a comedic monologue of the day s headlines from anchor Craig Kilborn a well known co anchor of ESPN s SportsCenter as well as mockumentary style on location reports in studio segments and debates from regular correspondents Winstead Brian Unger Beth Littleford and A Whitney Brown 49 Common segments Common segments included This Day in Hasselhoff History and Last Weekend s Top Grossing Films Converted into Lira in parody of entertainment news shows and their tendency to lead out to commercials with trivia such as celebrity birthdays 50 Another commercial lead out featured Winstead s parents on her answering machine reading that day s Final Jeopardy question and answer 51 In each show Kilborn would conduct celebrity interviews ending with a segment called Five Questions in which the guest was made to answer a series of questions that were typically a combination of obscure fact and subjective opinion 52 These are highlighted in a 1998 book titled The Daily Show Five Questions which contains transcripts of Kilborn s best interviews 53 Each episode concluded with a segment called Your Moment of Zen that showed random video clips of humorous and sometimes morbid interest such as visitors at a Chinese zoo feeding baby chickens to the alligators 54 Originally the show was recorded without a studio audience featuring only the laughter of its own off camera staff members A studio audience was incorporated into the show for its second season and has remained since 55 Differences between Kilborn s version and Stewart s version The show was much less politically focused than it later became under Jon Stewart having what Stephen Colbert described as a local news feel and involving more character driven humor as opposed to news driven humor 12 Winstead recalls that when the show was first launched there was constant debate regarding what the show s focus should be While she wanted a more news driven focus the network was concerned that this would not appeal to viewers and pushed for a little more of a hybrid of entertainment and politics 56 The show was slammed by some reviewers as being too mean spirited particularly towards the interview subjects of field pieces a criticism acknowledged by some of the show s cast by whom Describing his time as a correspondent under Kilborn Colbert says You wanted to take your soul off put it on a wire hanger and leave it in the closet before you got on the plane to do one of these pieces 57 One reviewer from The New York Times criticized the show for being too cruel and for lacking a central editorial vision or ideology describing it as bereft of an ideological or artistic center precocious but empty 58 Craig Kilborn s departure There were reports of backstage friction between Kilborn and head writer Lizz Winstead Winstead had not been involved in the hiring of Kilborn and disagreed with him over what direction the show should take I spent eight months developing and staffing a show and seeking a tone with producers and writers Somebody else put him in place There were bound to be problems I viewed the show as content driven he viewed it as host driven she said 59 In a 1997 Esquire magazine interview Kilborn made a sexually explicit joke about Winstead Comedy Central responded by suspending Kilborn without pay for one week and Winstead quit soon after 60 In 1998 Kilborn left The Daily Show to replace Tom Snyder on CBS s The Late Late Show He claimed the Five Questions interview segment as intellectual property disallowing any future Daily Show hosts from using it in their interviews 61 Correspondents Brian Unger and A Whitney Brown left the show shortly before him but the majority of the show s crew and writing staff stayed on 62 Kilborn s last show as host aired on December 17 1998 ending a 386 episode tenure Reruns were shown until Jon Stewart s debut four weeks later 63 Kilborn made a short appearance on Jon Stewart s final edition of the Daily Show saying I knew you were going to run this thing into the ground 64 Jon Stewart s tenure 1999 2015 Shift in content nbsp Jon Stewart right hosting an episode of The Daily Show in 2010 with Admiral Michael MullenComedian Jon Stewart took over as host of the show which was retitled The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on January 11 1999 65 Stewart had previously hosted Short Attention Span Theater on Comedy Central 66 two shows on MTV You Wrote It You Watch It and The Jon Stewart Show as well as a syndicated late night talk show and had been cast in films and television 67 In taking over hosting from Kilborn Stewart initially retained much of the same staff and on air talent allowing many pieces to transition without much trouble while other features like God Stuff with John Bloom presenting an assortment of actual clips from various televangelists and Backfire an in studio debate between Brian Unger and A Whitney Brown evolved into the similar pieces of This Week in God and Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell s Even Stevphen After the change a number of new features were developed The ending segment Your Moment of Zen previously consisting of a random selection of humorous videos was diversified to sometimes include recaps or extended versions of news clips shown earlier in the show 27 The show s theme music Dog on Fire by Bob Mould was re recorded by They Might Be Giants shortly after Stewart joined the show 68 69 Stewart served not only as host but also as a writer and executive producer of the series He recalls that he initially struggled with the Kilborn holdover writers to gain control of the show and put his own imprint on the show s voice a struggle that led to the departure of a number of the holdover writers 70 Instrumental in shaping the voice of the show under Stewart was former editor of The Onion Ben Karlin who along with fellow Onion contributor David Javerbaum joined the staff in 1999 as head writer and was later promoted to executive producer Their experience in writing for the satirical newspaper which uses fake stories to mock real print journalism and current events would influence the comedic direction of the show Stewart recalls the hiring of Karlin as the point at which things started to take shape Describing his approach to the show Karlin said The main thing for me is seeing hypocrisy People who know better saying things that you know they don t believe 13 nbsp Logo used for Stewart s tenureUnder Stewart and Karlin The Daily Show developed a markedly different style bringing a sharper political focus to the humor than the show previously exhibited Then correspondent Stephen Colbert recalls that Stewart specifically asked him to have a political viewpoint and to allow his passion for issues to carry through into his comedy 71 Colbert says that whereas under Kilborn the focus was on human interest y pieces with Stewart as host the show s content became more issues and news driven particularly after the beginning of the 2000 election campaign with which the show dealt in its Indecision 2000 coverage 12 72 Stewart himself describes the show s coverage of the 2000 election recount as the point at which the show found its editorial voice That s when I think we tapped into the emotional angle of the news for us and found our editorial footing he says 73 Following the September 11th attacks The Daily Show went off the air for nine days Upon its return Stewart opened the show with a somber monologue that according to Jeremy Gillick and Nonna Gorilovskaya addressed both the absurdity and importance of his role as a comedian Commented Stewart They said to get back to work and there were no jobs available for a man in the fetal position We sit in the back and we throw spitballs never forgetting the fact that it is a luxury in this country that allows us to do that The view from my apartment was the World Trade Center Now it s gone They attacked it This symbol of American ingenuity and strength and labor and imagination and commerce and it is gone But you know what the view is now The Statue of Liberty The view from the south of Manhattan is now the Statue of Liberty You can t beat that 74 Jon Stewart Thursday September 20 2001 broadcast Gillick and Gorilovskaya point to the September 11 attacks and the beginning of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as the point at which Jon Stewart emerged as a trusted national figure Robert Thompson the director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University recalled of this period When all the news guys were walking on eggshells Jon was hammering those questions about WMDs 74 Broadening the role of the correspondent During Stewart s tenure the role of the correspondent broadened to encompass not only field segments but also frequent in studio exchanges Under Kilborn Colbert says that his work as a correspondent initially involved character driven field pieces like you know guys who believe in Bigfoot However as the focus of the show has become more news driven correspondents have increasingly been used in studio pieces either as experts discussing issues at the anchor desk or as field journalists reporting from false locations in front of a green screen Colbert says that this change has allowed correspondents to be more involved with the show as it has permitted them to work more closely with the host and writers 12 Popularity and critical respect The show s 2000 and 2004 election coverage combined with a new satirical edge helped to catapult Stewart and The Daily Show to new levels of popularity and critical respect 75 Since Stewart became host the show has won 23 Primetime Emmy Awards and three Peabody Awards and its ratings steadily increased In 2003 the show was averaging nearly a million viewers an increase of nearly threefold since the show s inception as Comedy Central became available in more households 76 By September 2008 the show averaged nearly two million viewers per night 77 Senator Barack Obama s interview on October 29 2008 pulled in 3 6 million viewers 78 In the political spectrum The move towards greater involvement in political issues and the increasing popularity of the show in certain key demographics have led to examinations of where the views of the show fit in the political spectrum Adam Clymer among many others argued in 2004 that The Daily Show was more critical of Republicans than Democrats under Stewart 79 Stewart who voted Democratic in the 2004 presidential election 80 acknowledged that the show had a more liberal point of view but that it was not a liberal organization with a political agenda and its duty first and foremost was to be funny He acknowledged that the show is not necessarily an equal opportunity offender explaining that Republicans tended to provide more comedic fodder because I think we consider those with power and influence targets and those without it not 81 In an interview in 2005 when asked how he responded to critics claiming that The Daily Show is overly liberal Stephen Colbert also a self proclaimed Democrat 82 said in an interview during the Bush administration when the Republicans held a majority in the House and Senate We are liberal but Jon s very respectful of the Republican guests and listen if liberals were in power it would be easier to attack them but Republicans have the executive legislative and judicial branches so making fun of Democrats is like kicking a child so it s just not worth it 83 Stewart was critical of Democratic politicians for being weak timid or ineffective He said in an interview with Larry King prior to the 2006 elections I honestly don t feel that the Democrats make an impact They have forty nine percent of the vote and three percent of the power At a certain point you go Guys pick up your game 84 He has targeted them for failing to effectively stand on some issues such as the war in Iraq describing them as incompetent and unable to locate their asses even when presented with two hands and a special ass map 85 Karlin then the show s executive producer said in a 2004 interview that while there is a collective sensibility among the staff which when filtered through Jon and the correspondents feels uniform the principal goal of the show is comedy If you have a legitimately funny joke in support of the notion that gay people are an affront to God we ll put that motherfucker on 86 On September 15 2003 Senator John Edwards became the first candidate to announce that they were running for president on the show causing Jon Stewart to jokingly inform him that their show was fake and he might have to re announce elsewhere 87 On November 17 2009 Vice President Joe Biden appeared on the show making him the first sitting vice president to do so 88 On October 27 2010 President Barack Obama became the first sitting U S president to be interviewed on the show wherein Obama commented he loved the show 89 Obama took issue with Stewart s suggestion that his health care program was timid 90 After the United States Senate failed to pass and the media failed to cover the James Zadroga 9 11 Health and Compensation Act which would provide health monitoring and financial aid to sick first responders of the September 11 attacks Stewart dedicated the entire December 16 2010 broadcast to the issue During the next week a revived version of the bill gained new life with the potential of being passed before the winter recess 91 92 Stewart was praised by both politicians and affected first responders for the bill s passage According to Syracuse University professor of television radio and film Robert J Thompson Without him it s unlikely it would ve passed I don t think Brian Williams Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer would ve been allowed to do this 93 Writers strike Due to the 2007 08 Writers Guild of America strike the show went on hiatus on November 5 2007 Although the strike continued until February 2008 the show returned to air on January 7 2008 without its staff of writers In solidarity with the writers the show was referred to as A Daily Show with Jon Stewart rather than The Daily Show with Jon Stewart until the end of the strike 94 As a member of the Writers Guild of America Stewart was barred from writing any material for the show himself which he or his writers would ordinarily write 95 As a result Stewart and the correspondents largely ad libbed the show around planned topics 96 In an effort to fill time while keeping to the strike related restrictions the show aired or re aired some previously recorded segments and Stewart engaged in a briefly recurring mock feud with fellow late night hosts Stephen Colbert and Conan O Brien 97 The strike officially ended on February 12 2008 with the show s writers returning to work the following day at which point the title of The Daily Show was restored 98 Stewart s absence in 2013 Starting in June 2013 Jon Stewart took a twelve week break to direct Rosewater a drama about a journalist jailed by Iran for four months Show writer John Oliver replaced Stewart at the anchor desk for two months to be followed by one month of reruns 99 Oliver received positive reviews for his hosting 100 101 leading to his

2008 show that the program generally drew 1 45 to 1 6 million viewers nightly a high figure for cable television 172 By the end of 2013 The Daily Show s ratings hit 2 5 million viewers nightly 173 In demographic terms the viewership is skewed to a relatively young and well educated audience compared to traditional news shows A 2004 Nielsen Media Research study commissioned by Comedy Central put the median age at 35 During the 2004 U S presidential election the show received more male viewers in the 18 to 34 year old age demographic than Nightline Meet the Press Hannity amp Colmes and all of the evening news broadcasts 174 For this reason commentators such as Howard Dean and Ted Koppel posited that Stewart served as a real source of news for young people regardless of his intentions 175 176 In 2016 a New York Times study of the 50 TV shows with the most Facebook Likes found that The Daily Show was most popular in cities and other more liberal leaning areas along the coasts Peak popularity is in San Francisco it s least popular in Alabama 177 As a news source The show s writers reject the idea that The Daily Show has become a source of news for young people Stewart argues that Americans are living in an age of information osmosis in which it is close to impossible to gain one s news from any single source and says that his show succeeds comedically because the viewers already have some knowledge about current events Our show would not be valuable to people who didn t understand the news because it wouldn t make sense he argues We make assumptions about your level of knowledge that if we were your only source of news you would just watch our show and think I don t know what s happening 178 A 2006 study published by Indiana University tried to compare the substantive amount of information of The Daily Show against prime time network news broadcasts and concluded that when it comes to substance there is little difference between The Daily Show and other news outlets The study contended that since both programs are more focused on the nature of infotainment and ratings than on the dissemination of information both are broadly equal in terms of the amount of substantial news coverage they offer 179 As the lines between comedy show and news show have blurred Jon Stewart has come under pressure in some circles to engage in more serious journalism Tucker Carlson and Daily Show co creator Lizz Winstead have chastised Stewart for criticizing politicians and newspeople in his solo segments and then in interviews with the same people rarely taking them to task face to face In 2004 Winstead expressed a desire for Stewart to ask harder satirical questions saying When you are interviewing a Richard Perle or a Kissinger if you give them a pass then you become what you are satirizing You have a war criminal sitting on your couch to just let him be a war criminal sitting on your couch means you are having to respect some kind of boundary 180 She has argued that The Daily Show s success and access to the youth vote should allow Stewart to press political guests harder without fearing that they will not return to the show 181 In 2010 Winstead had changed her views commenting that since 2004 Stewart did some of the hardest hitting interviews on TV 182 Stewart said in 2003 that he does not think of himself as a social or media critic and rejects the idea that he has any journalistic role as an interviewer 183 During Stewart s appearance on CNN s Crossfire Stewart criticized that show and said that it was hurting America by sensationalizing debates and enabling political spin When co host Carlson argued that Stewart himself had not asked John Kerry substantial questions when Kerry appeared on The Daily Show Stewart countered that it was not his job to give hard hitting interviews and that a fake news comedy program should not be held to the same standards as real journalism You re on CNN Stewart said The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls What is wrong with you 184 Media critic Dan Kennedy says that Stewart came off as disingenuous in this exchange because you can t interview Bill Clinton Richard Clarke Bill O Reilly Bob Dole etc etc and still say you re just a comedian 181 A 2004 study into the effect of The Daily Show on viewers attitudes found that participants had a more negative opinion of both President Bush and then Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry Participants also expressed more cynical views of the electoral system and news media 185 Political scientists Jody Baumgartner and Jonathan Morris who conducted the study state that it is not clear how such cynicism would affect the political behavior of the show s viewers While disillusionment and negative perceptions of the presidential candidates could discourage watchers from voting Baumgartner and Morris say it is also possible that discontent could prompt greater involvement and that by following the show viewers may potentially become more engaged and informed voters with a broader political knowledge 186 Rachel Larris who has also conducted an academic study of The Daily Show disputes the findings of Baumgartner and Morris Larris argues that the study measured cynicism in overly broad terms and that it would be extremely hard to find a causal link between viewing The Daily Show and thinking or acting in a particular way 187 Bloggers such as Marty Kaplan of The Huffington Post argue that so long as Stewart s comedy is grounded in truth responsibility for increased cynicism belongs to the political and media figures themselves not the comedian who satirizes them 188 Stewart himself says that he does not perceive his show as cynical It s so interesting to me that people talk about late night comedy being cynical he says What s more cynical than forming an ideological news network like Fox and calling it fair and balanced What we do I almost think is adorable in its idealism 189 Stewart has said that he does not take any joy in the failings of American government despite the comedic fodder they provide We re not the guys at the craps table betting against the line he said on Larry King Live If government suddenly became inspiring we would be the happiest people in the world to turn our attention to idiots like you know media people no offense 84 In July 2009 Time magazine held an online poll entitled Now that Walter Cronkite has passed on who is America s most trusted newscaster 190 Jon Stewart won with 44 of the vote 15 points ahead of Brian Williams in second place with 29 191 Stewart downplayed the results on the show stating It was an Internet poll and I was the None of the above option citation needed In June 2013 the Writers Guild of America ranked The Daily Show with Jon Stewart 17 on their list of the 101 Best Written TV Series 192 In December 2013 TV Guide ranked it 53 on its list of the 60 Best Series of All Time 193 Effectiveness In late 2004 the National Annenberg Election Survey at the University of Pennsylvania ran a study of American television viewers and found that fans of The Daily Show had a more accurate idea of the facts behind the 2004 presidential election than most others including those who primarily got their news through the national network evening newscasts and through reading newspapers 194 However in a 2004 campaign survey conducted by the Pew Research Center those who cited comedy shows such as The Daily Show as a source for news were among the least informed on campaign events and key aspects of the candidates backgrounds while those who cited the Internet National Public Radio and news magazines were the most informed Even when age and education were taken into account the people who learned about the campaigns through the Internet were still found to be the most informed while those who learned from comedy shows were the least informed 195 In a survey released by the Pew Research Center in April 2007 viewers who watch The Daily Show tend to be more knowledgeable about news than audiences of other news sources Approximately 54 of The Daily Show viewers scored in the high knowledge range followed by Jim Lehrer s program at 53 and Bill O Reilly s program at 51 significantly higher than the 34 of network morning show viewers The survey shows that changing news formats have not made much difference on how much the public knows about national and international affairs but adds that there is no clear connection between news formats and what audiences know 196
