A fake news show on Comedy Central that was once really quite funny, similar to Weekend Update on SNL. However, it steadily became less and less about general news and on-location segments with crazy people, and instead became more and more about just politics, until it was little more than left wing propaganda and frankly not even remotely funny. This change was largely due to the application of the Jon Stewart formula.
Man1: Do you remember when The Daily Show used to be funny?
Man2: Just barely. I have some very foggy memories in the back of my head of what The Daily Show was like before it started sucking bigtime.

The best and most reliable news show in the world. Actually reports the news and the truth, and is hosted by perhaps the most iconic man in America along with Colbert, Jon Stewart. Also has the best fucking news team on the planet.

When the Daily Show goes on break a major disaster/news story happens the Friday immediately after the week's last show or early in the week off.
Dude,first the earthquake in Haiti,then the governor of Arizona,now the tsunami in Japan.The daily show effect must be at work.

An American satire news show that airs Mon-Thurs at 11/10c on Comedy Central. Features Jon Stewart as the anchorman, with a full correspondant team, including people such as John Oliver and, formerly, Stephen Colbert.
It was a lot more entertaining in the days of Colbert, even though Colbert wasn't that funny. Since The Colbert Report began to air right after, the writers for the shows have brought the writing down to one liberal (TDS) theme and one conservative (TCR) theme. I could personally do without all the bias on both shows, but, since the split, TDS has lacked personality, merely coming down to almost the liberal version of Glenn Beck.

I watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report every night, to get both sides, and a good laugh in between.

Generation Y and every generation thereafter.
The ripe for brainwashing crowd generation that gets its news not from newspapers, or even the standard biased NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, CNN or MSNBC...but from The Daily Show or Saturday Night Live.
These people exist. You know them. Everyone knows them.

The Daily Show Generation Member: Dude...I can't believe Bush orchestrated 9/11. Obama is still cleaning all the mess from Bush. Bush sucks, he's like Hitler and Mussolini. Mussolini was bad right? Wait, he was Italian, but Italians are good - not that anyone's bad...especially Muslisms. I have lots of Muslim friends. I have lots of Black friends, too. I think we should Coexist! I have a bumper sticker on my car that says it...my Black friend said it's cool...Hey did you see the Daily Show last night? I was so high, but I think Jon Stewart REPORTED some news about that speaker lady...what's her name? Isn't it Clinton? Yeah, he said Speaker Clinton was in Afghanistan and she's gonna fix it because she'll talk to the Taliban and then call Obama so that we all know what to do to live in peace. It was awesome. Remember? Anyway, I've gonna vote for Stephen Colbert, seriously!! I know my Grandfather died in WWII and his grandfather died in the Civil war so we could all vote...but it's just one vote! Who cares! Wanna play Halo?
