Anchor Jon Stewart is a Riot. Jon Stewart has had a long background in comedy as a standup comedian and also author of America: A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction.

In less than five minutes, Jon explains what has been happening most recently in world while adding a twist of humor. His satirical commentary gives viewer a chance to laugh about political and current events. Jon Stewart's headlines are informative and amusing.

Hilarious Election Coverage. The Daily Show's coverage of presidential election (known on show as "Indecision 2004") not only keeps you informed on current topics of election but also pokes a bit of fun at candidates. As surprising as it is, according to National Annenberg Election Survey viewers of The Daily Show are more informed about candidate's platforms than people who watch television news or read newspapers. While some may want to turn to CNN to get election coverage, it seems that channel they should really be turning to is Comedy Central.
