The Daily Show, known in its current incarnation as The Daily Show with
Jon Stewart, is an American late night satirical television program airing
each Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central in the United States.
The half-hour long show premiered on July 21, 1996, and was hosted by
Craig Kilborn until December 1998. Jon Stewart took over as host in January
1999, bringing a number of changes to the show's content. Under Stewart,
The Daily Show has become more strongly focused around politics and the
national media, in contrast with the more character-driven focus during
Kilborn's tenure.
