Describing itself as a fake news program, The Daily Show draws its comedy and satire from recent news stories, political figures, media organizations, and often aspects of the show itself. The show typically opens with a long monologue from Jon Stewart, relating to recent headlines and frequently features exchanges with one or more of several correspondents, who adopt absurd or humorously exaggerated takes on current events against Stewart's straight man persona. The final segment is devoted to a celebrity interview, with guests ranging from actors and musicians to nonfiction authors and political figures.
Haha I love the Daily Show. I'm surprised you didn't mention The Colbert Report, it is a direct satire of Bill O' Riley show.
