The Daily Show

The Daily Show (its current incarnation is called The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) is a satirical fake news program first aired in 1996 which airs on cable network Comedy Central. The show's news team presents, "news like you've never seen it before -- unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity or expensive graphics."[1] The Daily Show was created by Lizz Winstead and Madeleine Smithberg in 1996, hosted by Craig Kilborn until 1999 when Jon Stewart took over the anchor's chair.[1] The show has been recognized with a Peabody Award and nine Emmys.[1][2]

The show was originally hosted by Craig Kilborn, and then Jon Stewart hosted the show until 2015 when he retired to become a producer for Stephen Colbert's late night endeavor on CBS. South African born "comedian" Trevor Noah currently hosts the program.

## Jon Stewart on The Daily Show[edit]

Jon Stewart, a liberal, is was host of The Daily Show until he quit in mid-2015. In the past he often satirized George W. Bush, the war in Iraq, Congress, and American foreign policy.[3] Stewart will display video clips, sound bites, and news stories in which Republicans and other conservative politicians are made to look silly, using clips which are often edited or taken out of context so that they appear to be contradicting themselves. The sound bites of clips are typically edited to make Senate speeches appear ridiculous. However, due to Stewart's political values, he has typically provided an easy ride to President Obama and most other liberals.

Jon's interviews have ranged from semi-serious policy discussions, with Barack Obama and John Kerry, to comedic conversations with comedians like Don Rickles and Steve Martin, to verbal "smack-downs" of those in the media such as Jim Cramer and Chris Matthews.[4] Stewart occasionally analyzes upcoming or newly released books with their respective authors.[1]

## Trevor Noah[edit]

Main article: Trevor Noah

A new comedian from South Africa, Trevor Noah, was hired to take Jon Stewart's place as host. He was found to have told some crude sexual jokes ridiculing women with reference to their being overweight or of a particular ethnicity. Noah responded to criticism by moralizing, beginning one statement with "To reduce [someone's] views to a handful of jokes that didn't land....," applying this description of this unfair practice to his own case. One man on Twitter completed his sentence, aptly remarking "...is your new job description, pal."

## Audience[edit]

A study found that "Nearly half of high school students say they also get news and information from entertainment programs like The Daily Show and others at least once a week."[5]

## Correspondents[edit]

The comedians can be seen as showing a liberal bias while performing their "news" stories. The segments are usually aimed at poking fun at and satirizing the political parties in power. Thus, Stewart began by mocking Republicans, but now makes fun of Democrats, as well as other topics in the news. Some argue that he demeans conservative positions, such as the Right to Bear Arms and the Pro-Life Movement, or Christianity.[6] One former segment in particular, "This Week In God", satirizes religious values while mocking God.[7][8] During the episode aired June 27, 2007, Lewis Black compared Conservapedia's "Homosexuality" article to Wikipedia®'s, sarcastically describing it as "way more interesting," mainly because Conservapedia's article described it far more graphically. In their coverage of the 2008 U.S. presidential election, most of the guests have been liberal, such as former president Bill Clinton, future first lady Michelle Obama and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

When Stewart interviews his correspondents about an issue taking place at a certain place, it is often obviously done in the studio with props such as fake animals. The setting is also sometimes surreal, such as in the future.
