Forget the 24 hour biased left wing news media, the best fake news show in the world will provide you with all the news you can handle. The Daily Show is a comedic view of recent news headlines and political figures through a series of satirical monologues by Jon Stewart along with segments by "correspondents" and finally interviews with guest celebrities and political figures. Craig Kilborn (SportsCenter) was the original host until the fourth season when Jon Stewart (The Jon Stewart Show) came in to take over after Kilborn left for CBS.

The Daily Show has won multiple Emmy's and other prestigious awards such as the Peabody Award.

It airs Mondays-Thursdays at 11pm ET on Comedy Central. It re-airs the following day at 1am ET, 10am ET, 2pm ET, and 8pm ET on Comedy Central.less «

  I'm trying to get some info on two articles aired on the Daily Show. I can't remember what season they were in but it seems like it was pretty early on. One was a man that stated he was abducted on a regular basis by aliens that required him to fertilize their eggs through anal sex with celebrities. HILARIOUS! He confirmed a list of celebrities that he had "impregnated" such as Don Knotts and the entire cast of the Golden Girls. The other was a man that had been sexually molested by one of his large birds. They had his wife reenact the phone call that she made during the attack. If anyone knows what season and episode these were and if they are available online or DVD, please please please tell me. :D less «

  i was watching the larry david episode from earlier in the week and when john stewart said "the next time you're filling your tank", everyone seemed to immediately know this story as if it was big news, they were all laughing. I still have no idea what this story is that he's talking about, nor have I read anything about it. less «

  Just what America and the world need hide « show »

  In a time when it seems that the media has become an entertainment, and politics are getting closer to marketing scams, it's refreshing to see that we have a show that can satirize and ridicule them and make us laugh about the tragedies of this world.
  "The Daily Show" goes beyond comedy. It denounces what's wrong in the many aspects of society and it discusses the major world issues, but always with a sense of humor. A fine example of that, it's the way elections are covered. It makes them interesting and entertaining to watch, but never without losing their integrity, which actually makes it a better source than the traditional news networks.
  Bottom line, "The Daily Show", shows us that we don't have to take anything too seriously - we just have to laugh about it.

  Hilarious and useful supplement to your "serious" news source. Stewart deserves a Pulitzer! hide « show »

  I've been a fan since before Jon Stewart was host of this wonderful news-spoof & variety show. The humor is sometimes self-consciously crass, sometimes devilishly sophisticated, and usually provokes out-loud laughter, at least in this viewer. Moreover, Stewart's interviews with guests are often genuinely thought-provoking, or, depending on the guest, startlingly off-the-wall. As a serious consumer of "left-wing" news outlets such as the PBS News Hour with Jim Lehrer, NPR, and The Oregonian newspaper, I find that Stewart et al cover news that is too silly for my other sources, but that is often just as important for understanding the crazy politics of the world we live in. For which I am eternally grateful.

  The Daily Show gives worldwide news with the comedy twist! hide « show »

  This show gives everyone thier adequate daily dose of the worldwide news with a fun twist. It's fun and refreshing and makes watching the news and staying informed easy. This is where I get my information on what's going on in the world. I can learn the important stuff that I need to know and leave out all the crud that normal news shows give. I love watching this show with my family and friends, since we always have a good time. It's influential, cutting edge, and just what American needs! Jon Stewart rocks this show and his other anchors are quite hilarious.

  Jon: Get rid of the correspondents and stop laughing at your own jokes so much! hide « show »

  I really enjoy this show. Jon Stewart gives an interesting and funny perspective on current events, and most of the time I find myself agreeing with him.
  
  However the other cast members are incredibly unfunny. Now that the elections are over he should consider firing them all.
  
  The writers and Jon are going to have a really hard time making fun of an Obama Administration and an all democratic congress, not because they won't screw up, but rather because people are very touchy when it comes to the new President Elect.
  
  It's also worth pointing out that his is an easy job: He gets to take cheap shots at anyone but he sets no standard to himself.

  Who says you can't think and laugh at the same time? hide « show »

  Not The Daily Show for sure, and I have become utterly addicted to the the message AND the delivery: "Guess what? We're NOT going to 'spin' for you".
  It is interesting though, for a fake news show, just how informed Jon Stewart and his "reporters" really are. Its rewarding to watch guests arrive on the show with the attitude that its a comedy - variety show and not to be taken seriously, only to have Jon Stewart utterly humiliate them! I'm into carnage like that!
  The format makes you think and delve deeper, and thats always a good thing. It also regularly helps me update my reading library, by listening to the guest authors and again, wanting to know more.
  Information with a smile...school should have been this interesting...and fun!
