Watching news program was never such fun! If you want to know what all is happening in the world and think it is important to keep yourself up-to-date, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is the show for you, as it brings to viewers each and every recent incident…but with a difference.

Jon Stewart pulls pun on all the latest happenings, news and recent affairs. All the current happenings that he delivers as news are based on facts, but contorted to give a funny tone. Moreover, he is so brilliant while doing it that you hardly realize that he is faking it. The news program appears true, and something you can use as evidence or a fact while in a discussion with someone else.

The Daily Show started in 1996 and has aired over 2000 episodes. The popularity the show garnered is largely because of John’s amazing style of narrating news and stories. Several political identities have been mocked on the show, and they continue to be the favorite subject of Jon Stewart.

Even audience enjoys the humor that arises out of seeing the powerful figures reduced down to laughing stocks. Their belief that these political figures can be ridiculed and then seeing that belief getting implemented provides them with a pot full of laughter.

The show and its host faced a suggestive complain that Jon should focus more on showing news, as young generation looks up to it as the best source to enhance their knowledge on current affairs. John, who interviews many celebrities on the show, intends to keep the show’s idea the same as it is. It means that fun is never going to get sidelined – it will continue to be the driving force.

The show isn’t a journalistic program, though it pretends to be one. The Daily Show has seen famous celebrities getting interviewed, without any journalistic approach. The celebrities are interviewed with sarcastic and fun-filled remarks, constantly hurled at them. Every guest on the show has accepted the simple humor of The Daily Show. Jon Stewart took over the show in 1999, after Craig Kilborn left the series.
