Summary:
The complete
history
of The
Daily
Show
with
Jon
Stewart
, as
told
by its
correspondents
, writers, and host. For almost seventeen years, the
show
has redefined the borders between television comedy, political satire, and opinionated news coverage. It launched the careers of some of today's most significant comedians and highlighted the hypocrisies of the powerful. Now the
show
's behind-the-scenes gags, controversies, and camaraderie are chronicled by the players themselves, from host
Jon
Stewart
to the cast members and writers - including Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Steve Carell, Lewis Black, Jessica Williams, John Hodgman, and Larry Wilmore - plus some of
show
's most prominent
guests
and adversaries: John and Cindy McCain, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, and many more. Go behind the curtain for all the
show
's highlights, from its origins as Comedy Central's underdog late-night program, rising from a scrappy jester in the 24-hour political news cycle to become part of the beating heart of politic - a trusted source for not only comedy but also commentary, with a reputation for calling bullshit and an ability to effect real change in the world.
