Welcome to the program–we got a great show for you today, we look one of the most influential TV shows from the 2000s, responsible (for good and ill) for the current state of desk comedy.

Breaking down The Daily Show with Jon Stewart into 4 distinct eras: 1. Leather Jacket Krusty (1999-2001) 2. Righteous Anger (2001-2009) 3. Lecture Series Stewart (2009-2016) 4. The Dogshit Era (2017-now)

We discuss the historical moments from the show: the late 90s, Gen X end of history; the right wing war fervor cancel culture of the Bush years; the smarmy lib media navel gazing atmosphere of the Obama years; and the Trump Derangement Syndrome era. We close on a discussion of satire in the bush years, and the absence of class politics on the show.

Oh nice, this is good. I've struggled to articulate what I know from seeing the Keith Olbermann & O'Reilly era turn its page. Maher outlived most of them

Thanks! Yeah it was really fun rewatching daily show episodes from the Bush era. And true, though Jon Stewart did have a show until a couple months ago.
