CNN host and frequent Daily Show guest Fareed Zakaria had Jon Stewart on GPS to talk about his new film, Rosewater, but couldn't resist cornering Stewart into admitting he watches CNN. A pyrrhic victory, considering what Stewart had to say about the network.
Jon Stewart's Rosewater, the directorial debut that took him away from The Daily Show this summer and set the stage for the ascension of John Oliver, is finally out. And, because Stewart wanted to talk about his movie on the show, he recused himself as host and summoned Oliver back to the non-premium cable desk.
Last week in Minneapolis, cops and a local news station accused Mayor Betsy Hodges of throwing up gang signs with a convicted criminal. She was actually posing with a campaign volunteer, and the "known gang sign" is known to most people as "pointing."
A "salmon cannon" has been deployed in Washington state to launch fish safely over a hydroelectric dam, and it's giving John Oliver hope for the future. If we can use the cannon to fix the salmon-spawning process (that we broke in the first place, but whatever), who knows what else we can achieve with this wondrous…
Last night on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart welcomed his old pal Bill O'Reilly as guest, ostensibly to discuss Bill O's new book Killing Patton. From the outset, however, Stewart admits that he didn't even read the thing, and starts grilling O'Reilly about his stance on white privilege.
Over the weekend, we learned that a Daily Show-staged showdown between Native American activists and supporters of the Washington Redskins name left at least one of the Redskins fans feeling "in danger" and "defamed." Last night, that segment aired.
On Wednesday night's show, Jon Stewart delved into the disastrous NFL response to the Ray Rice domestic violence case. His conclusion? You done fucked up, NFL.
Jon Stewart is back after the Daily Show's annual summer hiatus, and it seems he missed a few things, like the police killing of unarmed black teen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. So, better late than never, we finally get Stewart's take on Ferguson—specifically, his outrage at the way the shooting and subsequent…
Nearly the entire Wu-Tang Clan (R.I.P Ol' Dirty Bastard) appeared on the Daily Show last night to promote their 20th anniversary reunion album, A Better Tomorrow, setting up one of the most uncomfortable Jon Stewart interviews imaginable.
Rupert Murdoch, as you may have heard, wants to buy Time Warner. If that were to happen, the 83-year-old media mogul would be forced to sell off Time Warner-subsidiary CNN, a direct competitor to Fox News, a Murdoch property. But who has the $10 billion dollars it would take to buy the network?
When it comes to your opinions on the situation in Gaza, you're either an anti-Semitic terrorist-sympathizer or a child-killer who actively perpetrates apartheid. There can be no middle ground.
Comedy Central hosts and friendly rivals Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert just corpsed their way through a battle of Star Wars trivia—and lightsabers—to determine which of them is a bigger nerd.
Hillary Clinton, who is definitely not definitely running for president in 2016, stopped by The Daily Show last night to talk about what she might have planned for the next few years.
Last night, Stephen Colbert visited The Daily Show to personally explain to friend and rival Jon Stewart why he's decided to end his show. No, it's not to host Late Night—remember, the in-character version of Colbert won't be making that jump.
Liam Neeson's Daily Show interview last night ostensibly served to promote his latest movie Non-Stop, but over half of it was taken up by his passionate advocacy to keep horse-drawn carriages in New York. True to his action-hero persona, Liam Neeson cares a lot and is not afraid of anything—not even the wrath of PETA.…
With Christmas right around the corner, most news outlets have already checked out, as evidenced by the fact that this week's biggest story by far was something some backswamp redneck reality show "personality" said about his juvenile aversion to putting his penis inside a man's anus because vaginas are better.
And just like that, the New York-Chicago Pizza Wars are over.
On tonight’s Daily Show—right after Jon Stewart told John Boehner to not fart and “blame the dog”—Stewart spun his “Wheel of Happy Stories.” But the happiest story on this wheel is the giant uncensored penis under the “Full Frontal Clooney” category. When zoomed in, it looks exactly like this:
