This week, we look at the history of The Daily Show. We look at the show’s first host, when the show found its editorial voice, and what Jon Stewart’s place in pop culture is. We also discuss the value of the show’s existence, and why Alex loves it so much when they make fun of CNN. We also talk about when Stewart feels the need to get serious, compare him to Bill Maher, and talk about Stewart’s relationship with Bill O’Reilly. Plus, Jewish grandma impressions, because what would a discussion of The Daily Show be without those?
