On Monday night, people in McKinney, Texas took to the streets to protest Corporal Eric Casebolt, a police officer who brandished his gun at a pool party and waved it at some teens while sitting on the back of a black girl. Literally. As a result, he’s been suspended—but not fired. Noted, Texas.
Jon Stewart’s last Daily Show will be August 6, and in the leadup we’re probably going to be subjected to endless takes about how he Shaped America’s Discourse. The Daily Show itself wasted no time mocking that trend, with this touching tribute from John Hodgman, which they promise will be the first in a series.
If you’re like me, you’re saving up all of your tears like cathartic candy for the last airing of The Daily Show this summer. But if you’re like Melissa McCarthy, you’ve made your mourning a sartorial statement. On Wednesday, the Spy actress showed up to her Daily Show interview in a kimono made of Stewart’s mug like…
The American media has been quick to embrace Caitlyn Jenner—and, as Jon Stewart pointed out on last night’s episode of The Daily Show, to suffocate her with the male gaze. Welcome, girl!
This week Jeb Bush forgot that when you’re running for president, even secretly, you must distance yourself from the last guy’s mistakes, even if that guy’s your brother whose name is George and his mistake was invading Iraq. On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart tackled Jeb (pronounced Heb) and his struggles in the best way…
We’re still mourning the loss of Samantha Bee on The Daily Show, but Kristen Schaal is thankfully still around, and she dropped by Tuesday night’s episode to talk about how great it is that “dadbod” is a thing. “Show off how your looks are not what society values most in you!” she said, commanding Jon Stewart to twirl…
While the Supreme Court is currently considering the question of marriage equality, the wider cultural consensus has shifted so much on the matter in recent years that this feels like a last stand for opponents of same-sex marriage. And so, Jessica Williams and The Daily Show took a few minutes to bid farewell to the…
Samantha Bee, who has spent the past 12 years charming the idiots of America into revealing their ugly opinions on abortion, gay rights, race, and beyond, has officially left her post as correspondent on The Daily Show.

Jon Stewart took on Hillary Clinton’s campaign announcement on Monday night’s episode of The Daily Show, and for those of us whose reaction was more “can’t wait for this Stouffer’s ad to end” than “can’t wait to see what this feminist hero will do next,” Stewart’s restrained barbs were very satisfying.
You’d think legislation to guarantee women who have been raped full custody of the children born of those rapes would be pretty easy to pass right? Well, as Samantha Bee learned on The Daily Show Wednesday night, not so much.
Last week, Trevor Noah was announced as Jon Stewart’s successor to host The Daily Show. You may remember the ridiculous amount of so-called backlash that followed, involving some of Noah’s old jokes on Twitter.

As was rumored last week, Daily Show contributor Trevor Noah will be replacing Jon Stewart as host of the show.
Saturday marked the 50th anniversary of Selma's "Bloody Sunday" where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and civil rights activists like Rep.

On Monday night, both Larry Wilmore and Jon Stewart, hosts of The Nightly Show and The Daily Show respectively, took on former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's comments about President Obama with their own flair. Let's see who really brought Giuliani to his knees, shall we?

Get your tissues ready: here's Jon Stewart announcing his retirement from The Daily Show.
The Daily Show tackled the topic of measles last night (as was pretty much inevitable, sooner or later). Come for the dressing-down of Rand Paul, a.k.a. Dr. Paul: Anecdote Man; stay for the subtle cryo-Walt-Disney joke and CNN's hologram of measles engulfing an empty plane.
