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!
