| 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, Al Madrigal, Aasif Mandvi, John Oliver and Jessica Williams -- 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. Whether they're skewering the day's breaking news, investigating the people, places and events that make America what it is, or ranting and raving on politics in their award-winning Indecision election year coverage, "The Daily Show" has earned its title as The Most Trusted Name In Fake News. The biggest newsmakers--from political heavyweights to real news journalists to Hollywood hotshots--make the seat across from Jon their first stop, giving the most hilariously informative interviews anywhere. Guests who have appeared on "The Daily Show" include: President Barack Obama, former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, Vice President Joe Biden, former Vice President Al Gore, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker of the House Representative Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senators John McCain, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and Charles Schumer, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Reverend Al Sharpton, General Colin Powell, Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader, former Democratic National Party Chair Howard Dean, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, Tom Brokaw, Brian Williams, Peter Jennings, Ted Koppel, Tim Russert, George Stephanopoulos, Wolf Blitzer, Sam Donaldson, Steve Kroft, Christiane Amanpour, Thomas Friedman, Michael Isikoff, Fareed Zakaria, Joe Klein, Maureen Dowd, Richard Clarke, Michael Moore, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Cruise, Samuel L. Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rob Lowe, Don Cheadle, Angelina Jolie, Kevin Spacey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, Ringo Starr, Ed Norton, George Carlin and First Lady Michelle Obama among others.
