The Daily Show (titled The Daily Show with Jon Stewart from 1999 to 2015 and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah beginning September 2015) is an American late-night talk and news satire television program, which airs each Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central and, in Canada, The Comedy Network.
The half-hour-long show premiered on July 21, 1996, & was hosted by Craig Kilborn until December 1998. Jon Stewart then took over as the host from January 11, 1999, to August 6, 2015, making the show more strongly focused on politics & the national media, in contrast with the pop culture focus during Kilborn's tenure. Stewart's version is currently the second-longest-running program on Comedy Central after South Park, and has won 21 Primetime Emmy

Along with running the pseudo-news program The Daily Show, Stewart has become a strong political voice among young American voters, with his show consistently ranking as one of the top viewed programs by the 18-34 age demographic. Stewart's commentary has also been shown to leave an impact. His debates with O'Reilly have also showcased his political presence on a grander scale, addressing topics such as health care, foreign affairs in Syria and the action of the GOP.
