The Daily Show (1996– )
10/10
Now for your moment of Zen!

The Daily Show has evolved into a cult status and it's popular especially since Jon Stewart took over the helm some years ago. I remember Jon Stewart and Lisa Edelstein (Dr. Cuddy of House) being the video jockeys on MTV in the Morning which only seems like yesterday. Anyway the Daily Show has evolved into an exciting half-hour of fun, entertainment, and even enlightenment. You can't help but notice that Jon's guests are no longer celebrities but mostly authors, educators, and politicians. He seems to be at ease with them than at the Oscars. How many times can you interview somebody about a movie or television show? As Stephen Colbert would say, Stewart has the balls and makes this show a success but he doesn't maintain that standard fare that would make us tune out. The short features from his correspondents are always worth watching as well. I love Samantha Bee and the ever changing titles of his correspondents as well. I remember Nancy Walls and Steve Carrell (now of "The Office) doing their reports. Lewis Black is always welcome on the show. Chris Rock doing the Republican conventions is always a scream.
