The Daily Show (the book) : an oral history as told by Jon Stewart, the correspondents, staff and guests

Smith, Chris (author.). Stewart, Jon, 1962- (writer of foreword.).

Summary: For almost 17 years, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart brilliantly redefined the borders between television comedy, political satire, and opinionated news coverage. It launched the careers of some of today's most significant comedians, highlighted the hypocrisies of the powerful, and garnered 23 Emmys. Now, for the first time, the people behind the show's seminal moments come together to share their memories of one of America's most groundbreaking shows.--
