The Daily Show provides a comedic view of the news and political world, complete with segments by "correspondents" and interviews with guest celebrities and politicians. The concept of this show is similar to the Weekend Update segments from Saturday Night Live but with guests.

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.

Craig Kilborn (SportsCenter) was the host until the fourth season, when Jon Stewart (The Jon Stewart Show) came in to take over after Kilborn left for CBS.

It has won multiple Emmys, and other awards, including the Peabody Award.
