Summary of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

It's a sad commentary on the state of mainstream media when a comedy show offers sharper political analysis than anything the major network or cable news outlets can muster. All throughout the highly contentious 2004 American presidential election, comedian Jon Stewart and his cohorts on Comedy Central's "fake news" program THE DAILY SHOW cut through the political miasma with scathingly hilarious satire that was no more absurd than the campaign it lampooned. As Stewart anchored the proceedings with his trademark incisive wit and bemused facial expressions, a crack team of correspondents--comedians Samantha Bee, Rob Corddry, Ed Helms, and, of course, the inimitably deadpan Stephen Colbert--wryly offered both pre-recorded and on-the-spot reporting of the election's primaries, debates, conventions, and other newsworthy foibles.

I haven't watched this show since the beginning, but one night I was watching Chappelle's Show and left the room after it finished. I came back to find the news on, thinking, "Comedy Central has a news program?" Then, I laughed and I haven't...
