America can't get enough of TV's most irreverently relevant political and pop culture commentary on the Emmy® and Peabody® Award-winning "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," Led by Time Magazine's "Best Talk Show Host," the program has conquered the very world of media mavens and political blowhards it set out to parody.
Jon's intrepid team of correspondents and commentators -- including Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac, Jason Jones, Aasif Mandvi and John Oliver -- take the show out of the studio and brave the wilderness we call America, with field pieces and on-the-spot coverage of important news events.
