The Daily Show
Comedy news program
The Daily Show is an American late-night television program that satirizes news and politics through a mock-newscast format.
Originally hosted by Craig Kilborn and later defined by Jon Stewart's sixteen-year run, the show blends comedy with genuine interviews and political commentary.
It spawned numerous spin-offs and launched careers of comedians like Stephen Colbert and John Oliver.
