The bulk of the long-running satirical news program The Daily Show on Comedy Central, hosted by Jon Stewart from 1999—2015.Stewart himself took over from Craig Kilborn in 1999 and turned the show into a household name,note Stewart turned the show into the premier news/political satire show in the world, with "Indecision 2000" cited as the moment when the show really came into its own but it's also launched a few careers among its correspondents. Steve Carell and Ed Helms are successful alums, and Stephen Colbert got his own spinoff program called The Colbert Report (a parody of confrontational talk programs such as The O'Reilly Factor,) which became a runaway success leading him to be picked to take over for David Letterman. Two more Daily Show alums have since been given their own Comedy Central shows, Lewis Black's Root of All Evil and the critically acclaimed Important Things with Demetri Martin.note The other major Daily Show correspondents now with their own show are John Oliver, whose show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver airs on HBO, and Samantha Bee, whose show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee airs on TBS The show's writing staff has also published two books in connection to the show, both parodies of high-school textbooks; they are America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide To Democracy Inaction from 2004 and Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide To The Human Race from 2010.It can be watched online for free (if you're lucky). In Canada, it is available at the Comedy Network's site. Just beware of Archive Panic.In March 2013, Stewart announced that he would be taking a three-month hiatus from hosting the show in order to direct his first-ever feature film, Rosewater. Regular correspondent John Oliver filled in as host for 8 of the 12 absent weeks (06/10/2013 - 08/15/2013). Stewart returned to hosting on September 3, 2013. Oliver subsequently left the show to start his own program on HBO called Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which premiered in April 2014.In May 2014, Comedy Central announced that Daily Show contributor Larry Wilmore would have his own spinoff titled The Nightly Show, which premiered in January 2015, taking The Colbert Report's former spot.In February 2015, Jon Stewart announced that he would retire, although the Daily Show will go on. In March 2015, Comedy Central announced that Trevor Noah would succeed him as host. Jon's last episode as host aired August 6, 2015, and Trevor's first show as host aired September 28, 2015. Tropes for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah can be found on that page.In September 2021, Jon returned to late night TV with another talk show, The Problem with Jon Stewart, which airs on Apple TV+ and also examines current events.

The *Insert T-Shirt logo here* shirt exchanges between Aasif Mandvi and Wyatt Cenac for the first time, then John Oliver and Wyatt Cenac for the final pair, which has (so far) only been done for 3 shows in a row. First it was "Team Mohammed" versus "Team Jesus" to settle the "coming religious war". Then "Team Stupid" versus "Team Evil" when discussing "Fox and Friends" blatantly avoiding naming, or even picturing, the founder of The Kingdom Foundation, despite tying him to the "Ground-Zero Mosque" due to his 7% share in Fox's parent company NewsCorp. Finally "Team N-Word" versus "Team Retard" regarding which epithet was worse... apparently the word "retard" is trading for 11 N-words, and "kike" was up 3 1/4... not to mention a "nicer" way to say Jew. They brought it back for the revolutions in the Middle East and who gets the credit for Egypt and Tunisia opting for a democracy: Team Bush (John Oliver), Team Obama (Olivia Munn), and Team Local Conditions (Aasif Mandvi). It popped back up in the 2013 shutdown, when Samantha Bee and Jason Jones represented "Team Incompetence" or "Team Nihilism" (read: Democrats vs Republicans), respectively.

Prayer of Malice: Back when Stephen and Steven were still on The Daily Show, an "Even Stevens" segment had them debating whether Islam or Christianity was the one true religion. Needless to say, prayers of "Smite mine enemy" were evoked on both sides.

Tempting Fate: A favorite of the show during the first segment. Usually used to show the hypocrisy of news programs (most often Fox News), where Jon will show a video, then say something along the lines of "next thing you know, they'll say..." and sure enough, another video rolls showing them saying that. A Memorable "Take That" was aimed towards the inventors and the people behind the SOPA/PIPA (ACTA) bill. The day when all the rebellion and internet shutdowns happened he went wild, taking down the supporters of the bill, the people who don't support the bill and "every other person who's for this ever"...and even Wikipedia for taking its stand against it. Lampshaded on the June 16th episode, when he shows a clip of a Fox News anchor blasting Obama for asking people to pray to God in a speech even though he doesn't regularly go to church. Jon comments along the lines of "wouldn't it be hilarious if they had previously begged him to show his religious side and tell people to pray?". Immediately afterwards he says, completely deadpan "cue Fox News clip from the day before the speech" showing just what he wanted. A trend noticed by fans of the show is that every time the show goes on hiatus, even CRAZIER stuff than habitual happens, so when Jon and the crew come back from vacation, they've got twelve different scandals or disasters to cover. It's as though, "hey let's take a break here while nobody's doing anything! So here we are in sunny Hawaii and... what's that on CNN?... holy shit, the Vice President shot someone in the face!" Some might even think that those in the scandals do it on purpose, knowing that Jon and his crew would be more damaging to them than the "actual" journalists. Some examples: In late 2007, they went off the air on a Thursday. The following Monday embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales suddenly resigned, and the day after that the Larry Craig scandal broke. And again, during the Egyptian uprising of February 2011 the show was on hiatus again. By the time Jon and crew made it back, the protesters had gotten the military to throw out Mubarak. And left Aasif Mandvi complaining about missing out on all the love reporters were getting from the protesters after the overthrow. During a weeklong hiatus in March 2011 Japan got hit by the earthquake and the tsunami, Middle Eastern leaders opened fire on their own people, Knut the polar bear died and the US militarily enforced the no fly zone in Libya. Jon went on hiatus in June 2013, with John Oliver serving as replacement host. Not one day passed before the NSA whistleblowing story came to light. John addressed it in his opening segment.

Walking Wasteland: The running joke about Dick Cheney. Did you know that anything he touches becomes pixelated? Except plants, which die three days later? When Cheney had a heart transplant, Stewart did an intro in which he thanked the gods of comedy for the setup... except that it coincided with the Treyvon Martin shooting and he couldn't keep up the gag.

Why We Can't Have Nice Things: When Jon showed clips of bipartisan support for a bill that would strengthen the ban on the ivory trade, because it kills elephants and funds terrorists, then showed the bill being blocked because the NRA opposed it because it might have a negative effect on antique arms tradingnote Some antique arms have things like ivory grips, he said "this is why we can't have nice things."

Mr. Fanservice: In a 2011 episode, in a parody of the rebuttals to the State of the Union adress, John Oliver, Olivia Munn, and Larry Wilmore made a correspondent rebuttal to Jon's jokes about the State of the Union adress, during which Larry reminds modern viewers what Jon looked like back in 1999 by showing a clip of Jon just a few days after his debut as a host in January 1999. There was a quite noticeable swoon heard in the audience.

The Stoic: Of all the possible people, Colbert had a moment of this during the 2008 elections. When Obama locked up California and, thus, the elections, the entire crew started freaking out and wondering what the post-Bush world must be like. So, they head outside and start gushing over the fact that the sun is shining, children are at play, etc. Meanwhile, Colbert just stands there, and firmly reminds them that Bush is still president for two more months, killing the mood of the others.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, both in their on-air personas and in real life, culminating in The Reveal that The Colbert Report was really just one long correspondent's segment for The Daily Show. Colbert even called himself the Sam Gamgee to Stewart's Frodo Baggins! To cap it all off, Colbert (the real one) went off-script in Stewart's final episode to sincerely thank him for all he had done for all his correspondents over the years, culminating in the longtime friends hugging fiercely as the show went to commercial. And just to make it sweeter, one of the executive producers of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is none other than Jon Stewart. Nothing is ever going to tear this duo apart.

You Know I'm Black, Right?: Aasif Mandvi excels at dropping this on his interview subjects. In addition to the "You know I'm Muslim, right?" he directed at a Tennessee community leader, Mandvi also once lured a Canadian businessman into joking around about how it was fine to export asbestos to India because Indian workers "are used to the pollution. It’s like antibiotics. They have natural antibodies." Mandvi promptly stopped going along with the conversation and went off.

Some of My Best Friends Are X: North Carolina GOP Precinct captain Don Yelton, who was being interviewed by Aasif Mandvi about the states voter ID laws, used this defense to say he wasn't racist (Specifically saying some of his friends are black), despite also talking about, in his words, "lazy black people that wants the government to give them everything." Unsurprisingly, he resigned the next day (There's a video of the interview in the link).

Only Sane Man: Jon Stewart, with the insanity provided either by correspondents, or clips of real life politics. Jon himself seems to see Anderson Cooper as one; he goes to great lengths to trash CNN at every opportunity, but never seems to take so much as one pot-shot at Cooper, and when Cooper comes on the show Jon makes no secret of his respect for the man. Jon also seems to see Shepard Smith this way for Fox News.

Only in Florida: During a segment about Florida demanding that welfare recipients take drug urinalysis tests, Aasif Maandvi manages to crash an actual press conference with Gov. Rick Scott and requests that he take a test himself. The other reporters even help to pass him the cup. The January 13, 2015 episode's comedy portion was entirely devoted to Only in Florida weird stories, due in part to their guest that evening, Senator Marco Rubio, leading to this chestnut:

Lampshaded on the June 16th episode, when he shows a clip of a Fox News anchor blasting Obama for asking people to pray to God in a speech even though he doesn't regularly go to church. Jon comments along the lines of "wouldn't it be hilarious if they had previously begged him to show his religious side and tell people to pray?". Immediately afterwards he says, completely deadpan "cue Fox News clip from the day before the speech" showing just what he wanted.

Ridiculously Loud Commercial: The full episodes online have faint audio relative to most youtube and other online videos, requiring viewers to turn up their speaker volume. The ads, however, are so loud you have to turn your volume down almost all the way to keep them from blaring. The episodes posted on Hulu avert this, either because Hulu turns up the volume of the videos before posting them or because they just have quieter commercials. The ones posted on the show's official site are still too quiet with too-loud commercials, though.

Sophisticated as Hell: John Oliver. A nod must be given to Toppington Von Monocle, who quoted Catullus 16 to disprove the notion that the Daily Show audience is uncouth. This is also the effect of those times when they forgo the elaborate joke and just insult someone, such as the long campaign of describing Robert Novak as a "douchebag" (culminating in an attempt to "bury the hatchet" wherein Jon earnestly explained, "I only ever said those things to you because I sincerely believe... that you are a terrible person") or "In Dick Morris's defense, he is a lying sack of shit." And of course the "go fuck yourself" choir.

Arch-Enemy: Jon doesn't really hate most of the people he riffs on, but he does tend to go the extra mile to mock Donald Trump. Jon is rather infamously credited for cancelling Tucker Carlson's program on CNN, Crossfire, after making an appereance during which he delivered a equally infamous tirade in which he expressed his criticisms of the format and style of arguments presented on the program. Years later, it was clear that there was no love lost between the two. Towards the end of his tenure, Sean Hannity, whom he subjected to repeated lampooning on his show, ripping into him in various segments he comments on, and dubbing him "The Arby’s of News". In the single most playful and silly way, Arby's. Jon often made hilarious jokes about the restauraunt's food. It was done entirely tongue-in-cheek, and the chain responded on his final episode with a video showing clips of his shots at them, set to the tune of "Thank you for being a friend", and with both text reading "For Jon, Love Arby's" starting the whole thing, with a playful shot of their own at the end with text reading "Not sure why, but we'll miss you." The whole thing smacks of Worthy Opponent, even if there was never any real animosity between the two and showed that there was a lot of respect between both parties who knew it was all in good fun.

The Last of These Is Not Like the Others: In October 7, 2008, while analyzing the "stupid" vote, John Oliver broke it down into twelve sections: paste eaters, numbskulls, nitwits, fucktards, people whose hands get stuck in pickle jars when they eat pickles, people who lose arguments to babies, douchenozzles, tiger petters, people who jump up and down on frozen lakes, shaved gorillas who've somehow managed to acquire a driver's license, the voluntarily lobotomized, and Cubs fans. In their commentaries on the television news media, they'll often show the news media's hive-mind collective latches onto a particular key-word or -phrase and repeats it incessantly by means of a montage. They'll show sometimes upward of a dozen clips of different news anchors, reporters, and pundits repeating the same catch-phrase about an item, then end it with one of the talking heads (usually a Fox News pundit) saying something ... really bizarre, though still on-topic.

Irishman and a Jew: The Daily Show is headed up by Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Leibowitz—and no, you're not allowed to call him that); its sister show, The Colbert Report, stars Stephen Colbert, who self-identifies as Irish-American, despite the French-sounding name. Like many other instances of such pairings, the Jewish half is sarcastic and exasperated with a world gone mad, while the Irish half is blustering and self-assured, but oblivious to the problems around him. Also happens during the many times Jon's good friend Denis Leary is on the show. Jon also has this dynamic with Bill O'Reilly. Their Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium debate was truly something to behold.

Every Car Is a Pinto: In the December 16 2014 episode, the accidental innuendo-laden "don't jerk and drive" PSA shows us a simulated extreme (to say the least) worst-case scenario, in which jerking the steering wheel causes the car to fly into oncoming traffic, bounce back into their own side, and then for a second car, oblivious to the now stationary vehicle, to drive straight into it at full speed (at least the second car didn't jerk the wheel), causing an explosion eclipsing both cars. Hilarious because they could have fully made their point, and better, without that second car.

Captain Obvious: Political commentator Bernie Goldberg of Fox News was called out on this after stating that the show was not just a comedy show; it was also providing social commentary. Jon responded that comedians have been providing social commentary for literally thousands of years. Regarding the STOCK Act: "Yes, Congress should obey the same laws as everyone else. I believe that was in the 'No Shit, Sherlock' Act of 2000 and always."

A good portion of the show could be construed as cutting, but pretty average, criticism of subject X. But, interviewees beware: if you try to weasel out of, outright deny or fire back at the allegations raised, you will get schooled. With elements of Badass Bookworm, Awesomeness by Analysis and Beware the Silly Ones. Yes. He has read your damn book. He knows what you've said. He also knows what you said three weeks ago. And what you said to the NRA in 2003. And where you worked when you said it. So answer the damn question. Stephen Colbert noted in a Rolling Stone interview that he doesn't understand where Jon finds the time to do it, but yes, he reads EVERY book that people are there to promote on his show... every word. Colbert notes that obviously this gives Jon a formidable advantage in an interview, as most people do not expect the host to have gotten past the summary or "cliff notes" that a staffer gave them.

Stylistic Suck: On March 6, 2013, in response to Neil deGrasse Tyson having pointed out that the globe in the opening spins the wrong way, an alternate opening was recorded. With a single camera, a man is recorded spinning an off-the-shelf globe, the camera pans to the street (for the "New York" part), and then zooms into a Daily Show coffee mug for the logo.

Funny Foreigner
 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart / int_434d893c
comment
Funny Foreigner: Both played straight and subverted with John Oliver. There are plenty of times where his British-ness is used for laughs, but it's also heavily implied that he wants to be taken seriously as a journalist, but is forced to play the Funny Foreigner role for Jon Stewart's personal amusement. He's also used in lieu of a calculator whenever a measurement is given in metric, as part of the segment "Is that a lot?" On the other hand, it's usually not brought up with Canadians Samantha Bee and Jason Jones, unless the subject turns to Canada. The correspondent segment on Silvio Berlusconi's trial for statutory rape was a grand mockery of the trope, what with Jon's attempt at playing the whole thing seriously.

Revolving Door Casting: Correspondents and contributors tended to come and go at the rate of + /-1 a year. Notably averted during Obama's first term. Following the departure of Rob Riggle in December 2008, the five main correspondents jobs were held by Aasif Mandi, Jason Jones, Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac and John Oliver, the longest stretch of consistent correspondents in the show's history. Cenac left the series in December 2012, with Oliver following in December 2013 and Bee and Jones leaving shortly before Stewart's departure in 2015. Mandi lasted the longest, leaving the series two months after Stewart in 2015.

Actor/Role Confusion: John Oliver has trouble understanding that Will McAvoy and MacKenzie McHale are fictional characters and that he is actually talking to their actors, Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer. Though as it turns out, Daniels can give an inspiring Sorkin-esque speech on a moment's notice.

In the single most playful and silly way, Arby's. Jon often made hilarious jokes about the restauraunt's food. It was done entirely tongue-in-cheek, and the chain responded on his final episode with a video showing clips of his shots at them, set to the tune of "Thank you for being a friend", and with both text reading "For Jon, Love Arby's" starting the whole thing, with a playful shot of their own at the end with text reading "Not sure why, but we'll miss you." The whole thing smacks of Worthy Opponent, even if there was never any real animosity between the two and showed that there was a lot of respect between both parties who knew it was all in good fun.

Butt-Monkey: Stewart is routinely insulted and abused by correspondents (and occasionally guests). John Oliver gets this as well (usually when Stewart reminds him about his visa expiring). See the example under Pirate. Oliver himself thinks of the US Soccer team as this ("I'm here with the US pffft hahahahah! No, no, I've got it... Sudan, Sudan, Sudan. Hi, I'm HAHAHAHA!"), but when he sees they're not as bad as he expected he gives them "helpful vacation tips" for visiting South Africa like "Go on a nighttime stroll in Soweto in all your fanciest jewelry." Wyatt Cenac, as the youngest member of the team (at least before Jessica Williams joined the lineup), often gets this as well: for instance, while everybody else was given their own promotional advertisements, Wyatt was forced to make his own (with things like Wyatt saying "laser sounds" in place of actual laser sounds), and is forced to stop at the end to allow Jason Jones to shoot additional footage for his own ad atop a horse surrounded by models. Steve Carell usually filled this role when paired with Stephen Colbert. Aside from their memorable Even Stevphens segments, there was an episode where Colbert took him out drinking and got him so drunk he admitted that he thought Antonio Banderas was very sexy. When correspondent and Twofer Token Minority (black and female) Jessica Williams was the New Meat on the show, she was sent into a disaster zone for her first assignment, then became a hobo, and was ignored by a Fifties-style panel of all-male correspondents until she put on a fake mustache. Later, she revealed that she used to be white before she went to college and, as Rick Santorum put it: "Was remade in President Obama's image."

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: In the 3/17/2010 episode, John Oliver frantically implores Jon and the studio audience to do this to save the life of a rose named Reagan, the final breath of American freedom. And at the Rally to Restory Sanity and/or Fear, John Oliver did it again, asking the audience to help revive Jon Stewart after Colbert nearly beat him in their Fear vs. Reason debate. Bonus points for doing this while being dressed as Peter Pan.

Kill the Poor: During the banter segment with Jon Stewart at the end of The Daily Show's 10th Anniversary episode, Stephen Colbert remarked about how Stewart's show is all about supporting "the underdog" and Colbert can't believe how he ever backed that "losing horse." That's why Colbert on his own show now supports "the overdog" (specifically, big business). When concluding his point, Colbert quotes the Trope Namer!

Guest Host: The correspondents, when necessary. "Welcome to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Ironically enough, I'm Stephen Colbert." Jon Stewart is perhaps one of the most dedicated news anchors on TV. In one instance, despite losing his voice for three days, he refused to not appear on the show, even though he had to speak up (and therefore lengthened his recovery by abusing his already abused vocal cords), and got extra jokes out of it, too. "It's as if Harvey Fierstein had hosted the Daily Show!" John Oliver guest-hosted the show during the Summer of 2013, while Stewart was filming his adaptation of Maziar Bahari's book And Then They Came For Me, entitled Rosewater, in Jordan. On October 7, 2014, after Jon fell sick, Jason Jones guest-hosted, with wife and fellow correspondent Samantha Bee joining in later on.

comment
Game-Breaking Injury: When exasperatedly noting how Barack Obama's mishaps during the 2012 campaign are overshadowed by the far more numerous gaffes of challenger Mitt Romney, and the audience begins to cheer, Jon compares a victory over Romney to a victory over someone suffering one of these.

Spit Take
 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart / int_643659d4
comment
Spit Take: Both used straight and spoofed regularly. Here's an example. Subverted here (about 3:05 in) when Jon obviously sets himself up for a spit-take... and then nonchalantly keeps on drinking from his mug. Also subverted here to mock South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. Once it seemed like he was going to do one, but instead he bit into the cup. It occurs on May 1, 2014 when talking about Rob Ford. He starts drinking from his mug, and when he learns that Ford's back in the news for smoking crack... he just finishes his drink, and right afterwards points out as much. He then learns that Ford is going into rehab, and does a spit take proper. When he learns that Ford is still planning on running for mayor despite those events, he picks up the cup and does another spit take.

As a Brit, Oliver was a definite example of Stiff Upper Lip, but after the montage of his best moments on the show shown in his last episode, he was visibly teary-eyed.

One of the rare exceptions was when Jon was interviewing Jeremy Scahill for his book Blackwater (about the PMC), Jon clearly hadn't read the book and the interview came off confrontational, while failing to discuss the novel's main themes.note ie. the limited government oversight on hired contractors in the Middle East Fast-forward a week, where Jon clearly had read it in the interim, owned up to his mistake and dedicated a segment showing just how badly he'd dropped the ball. It also happened that all the terrible things surrounding Blackwater began to appear in the news which completely validated Scahill's argument.

Jon Stewart has Matt Damon's congressional candidate character on as a guest in The Adjustment Bureau. Fittingly, Jason Jones' trip to Iran for the Daily Show is re-created for scenes in Jon Stewart's film, Rosewater.

Erotic Eating: Back when Stephen Colbert was a correspondent, his field segments tended to involve him, some sort of vaguely phallic-shaped food product, and a lot of laughter from both the audience and Jon. One notable instance involved Prince Charles, a banana, and the single greatest example of uncontrollable laughter ever seen on The Daily Show.

Straw Character: The show isn't above picking the craziest people they can find in the editorial segments (who will agree to be on camera) to argue for the "wrong" side while often using more qualified and sensible people to argue the "right" side, but given how hilariously bad some of their arguments are, and how much this is done in more (allegedly) serious news shows, the comedy is usually better for it.

"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer

"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: "— and this is true —" Jon has to do this with disturbing frequency. During his tongue-in-cheek review of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, Al Madrigal at one point stops to provide a source for his claim that the Decision Theater will actually play of video of Bush telling the user why they're wrong if their decision contradicts his (namely, when deciding against the Iraq war). In his "India Jones and the Election of Doom" series, Jason Jones learns that Indian newspapers can be paid to print pretty much anything, which he demonstrates by having a completely fictional story about himself printed for a few thousand dollars. He then stresses that he really did this and provides a link to the article in question.

Fox News Liberal: Notable aversion. Though a decidedly liberal-leaning program, the Daily Show often hosts conservative guests. When it does, Jon Stewart treats them with respect and actually attempts to understand their point of view, and thus help the audience to do the same. In addition, despite the assumed viewpoint that he would go "easy" on the Obama administration, he is perhaps one of its most vocal critics. Yes, they are pulling for them to have success and find ideological similarities, but that merely colors his criticism, which is expressed more as disappointment when the administration fails to follow through on something they claimed. In other words, it bases its views not on party, but progress. Or in layman's terms:

Stepford Smiler: No matter what he's reporting on, Jon always tries to find the humor in the moment and keep a smile on his face. Particularly tough or hard-hitting segments, however, can have him very obviously force the smile on to his face. If an incredibly tough segment causes the smile to slip, however, it's usually an indication of his impending rage.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: The entire show these days is the Blue Oni to The Colbert Report's Red Oni, the Report being driven entirely by Stephen Colbert's egomaniacal Large Ham strawman, while Daily Show focuses more on Stewart being the Only Sane Man Surrounded by Idiots.

Jon Stewart is perhaps one of the most dedicated news anchors on TV. In one instance, despite losing his voice for three days, he refused to not appear on the show, even though he had to speak up (and therefore lengthened his recovery by abusing his already abused vocal cords), and got extra jokes out of it, too. "It's as if Harvey Fierstein had hosted the Daily Show!"

Bodyguard Babes: After she defended her much older husband, Rupert Murdoch, from a pie-throwing prankster, Jon treated Wendi Murdoch like this. Sasha Baron Cohen showed up in character as Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen from The Dictator. This character was a pastiche of Middle Eastern tyrants. He took a page from Muammar Gaddafi's infamous Amazonian Guard and brought two quite lovely female bodyguards along with him.

Overly-Long Gag: Jon will occasionally do something random (like vigorously scratch the back of his head) while waiting for the audience to stop applauding or laughing, then when they quiet down, he'll continue to do it until they laugh again. The saga of Tony Bologna: When MSNBC named a New York police officer "Anthony Bologna" (pronounced like the Italian city), Jon insisted on calling him "Tony Bologna" (pronounced like the sausage) and proceeded with a rap: After the rap, Jon showed a clip of a fake TV show, The Vigilogna, starring Chris Meloni (spelled "Melogna" in the clip) as the rogue Tony Bologna. Later, on the November 28, 2011 show, he mentioned Tony Bologna and continued:

Obfuscating Stupidity: A charge leveled at Gretchen Carlson of the Fox News program Fox and Friends for her having to look up the words "czar" and "ignoramus", despite being a Stanford honors graduate in Sociology, having studied at Oxford and being a talented violinist, and so probably being familiar with those words. And done again, lampshade included and vocally invoked by Wyatt Cenac when discussing how Fox and Friends had connected the "Ground-Zero Mosque" with the leader of The Kingdom Foundation, Prince Al-waleed bin Talal... who happens to be a 7% shareholder with NewsCorp, parent company of Fox News. (This makes him the largest shareholder outside of the Murdoch family.)

comment
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: A good portion of the show could be construed as cutting, but pretty average, criticism of subject X. But, interviewees beware: if you try to weasel out of, outright deny or fire back at the allegations raised, you will get schooled. With elements of Badass Bookworm, Awesomeness by Analysis and Beware the Silly Ones. Yes. He has read your damn book. He knows what you've said. He also knows what you said three weeks ago. And what you said to the NRA in 2003. And where you worked when you said it. So answer the damn question. Stephen Colbert noted in a Rolling Stone interview that he doesn't understand where Jon finds the time to do it, but yes, he reads EVERY book that people are there to promote on his show... every word. Colbert notes that obviously this gives Jon a formidable advantage in an interview, as most people do not expect the host to have gotten past the summary or "cliff notes" that a staffer gave them. One of the rare exceptions was when Jon was interviewing Jeremy Scahill for his book Blackwater (about the PMC), Jon clearly hadn't read the book and the interview came off confrontational, while failing to discuss the novel's main themes.note ie. the limited government oversight on hired contractors in the Middle East Fast-forward a week, where Jon clearly had read it in the interim, owned up to his mistake and dedicated a segment showing just how badly he'd dropped the ball. It also happened that all the terrible things surrounding Blackwater began to appear in the news which completely validated Scahill's argument. There is a very, very good reason that Lawrence O'Donnell once said:

Muppet: A Running Gag that when former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney or former GOP Chairman Michael Steele are mentioned, a clip of a similar-looking Muppet (Guy Smiley and the hapless restaurant patron, respectively) will be shown. And when the real Michael Steele appeared as a guest, so did Muppet!Steele]. Or when he was trying to pronounce the name of the island "Mah Na Mah Na"... Don't forget Gitmo! Never thought that Elmo's cousin (or whatever) was a member of Al-Qaeda, but it's a small world, I suppose. Also, don't forget that Elmo himself is a neo-Nazi... When then-Prime Minister Tony Blair was "Harumphed" (heckled) by Parliament, Stewart noted that "The act of harumphing dates back to the Earl of Statler and the Duke of Waldorf." And don't forget when he interviewed Kermit the Frog: And Miss Piggy And now that John McCain is refusing to do the show, Muppet John McCain has been filling in for him from time to time. In the last show of 2012, Wyatt Cenac was turned into a Muppet after mocking a Puerto Rican news show because one of the hosts used a puppet suit. He turned out to just be operating the puppet, which led to an awkward moment at the end of the show.

The Daily Show is headed up by Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Leibowitz—and no, you're not allowed to call him that); its sister show, The Colbert Report, stars Stephen Colbert, who self-identifies as Irish-American, despite the French-sounding name. Like many other instances of such pairings, the Jewish half is sarcastic and exasperated with a world gone mad, while the Irish half is blustering and self-assured, but oblivious to the problems around him.

Wyatt Cenac, as the youngest member of the team (at least before Jessica Williams joined the lineup), often gets this as well: for instance, while everybody else was given their own promotional advertisements, Wyatt was forced to make his own (with things like Wyatt saying "laser sounds" in place of actual laser sounds), and is forced to stop at the end to allow Jason Jones to shoot additional footage for his own ad atop a horse surrounded by models.

Ms. Fanservice: While there's little doubt that Olivia Munn would be this whether or not that was the plan, a veritable tempest in a teapot arose when a feminist (possibly or possibly not of the silly variety) accused the TDS staff of sexism, saying they only hired her to try out for her sexiness. While most agreed that Munn's first two segments left something to be desired, her third segment (a field assignment in Arizona) was enough of an improvement that Slate, at least, said she warranted a little bit of patience. It's worth noting that this is the exact same complaint that gave her something of a Broken Base among Attack of the Show! fans, which still lingers after several years of her hosting. In the end, her tenure was short-lived, as she became the lead financial reporter for another fictional news show.

Cosmic Plaything: John Oliver somehow turned into this when he filled in for Stewart in 2013. He expected to have a quiet Summer filled mostly with jokes about his Britishness. First day of guest hosting: the NSA spying scandal broke out. Then after weeks of other major political news stories occurring during his tenure,note and on the day George Zimmerman was found not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin the studio loses power ("Sorry Jon, I've broken the show.") Ultimately, Oliver got the last laugh, as his time hosting the show was so well-received that he was able to land his own show on HBO.

Satire: Of course. The type of satire depends on the subject: they tend towards the Juvenalian when discussing Fox News and most GOP politicians, and runs Horatian when covering Obama and certain other politicians. Note that the dividing line is not necessarily political; George W. Bush was typically covered in a Horatian fashion after the 2006 midterms, portraying him as a harmless bumbler of a president, while some Democrats have been treated quite harshly (for instance, unloading on Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in August 2012).

Later, she revealed that she used to be white before she went to college and, as Rick Santorum put it: "Was remade in President Obama's image."

Ironic Echo Cut: A staple of the show is Jon recapping the basics of a story and assuming a result, then cutting to a clip of a reporter or speaker saying the exact opposite.

Detonation Moon: In his 2014 midterm election coverage, Jon decides to one-up CNN changing the colors of the Empire State Building by promising that, in the extremely unlikely event Democrats actually manage to retain control of the Senate, The Daily Show will blow up the moon. In the much more likely scenario of a Republican victory, they will merely swap out the Statue of Liberty's torch and tablet with an AK-47 and a Bible.

Precision F-Strike: Done with beauty while commenting on CNBC's having had a guest - Sir Allen Stanford - on the show who was being investigated on allegations of running a Ponzi scheme (arrested one month later) and they get to the final question... Cut to 7:50. Another example, in the unsubtly-subtle vein, occurred on 11-18-09 segment about Sarah Palin's surge in popularity (accompanied by book-signing). Bernie Goldberg stated that "[Sarah has a son who] has Down's Syndrome. Liberals certainly don't - don't allow that to happen!" Cue a pause from Jon, who shuffles around some papers on the desk prior to holding them in front of his mouth and coughing "Go fuck yourself!" Done in the same vein on 02-07-2008 with perverse deliberation. Used against Fox News on April 15th, 2010 (making it worse, the timing was right after one of them making a remark that having five kids and one of them having Down Syndrome was something that liberals "certainly don't allow to happen"). Fox's response was then analyzed, line-by-line, on the 20th, culminating in a cluster-GoFuckYourself-bomb set to music. Done several times by John Oliver when discussing the 2010 World Cup.

Berserk Button: Jon has a few things that get his goat, including bad journalism, racism and homophobia. But do not, do not, do not imply that New York or other big cities are less American than small towns and rural areas. The final part here. Not to mention implying that voting for a certain candidate in an election will "aid a surrender to terror". Any hyperbolic comparison to Nazicommunism. He has no time for anyone of any political ideology who uses Hitler Ate Sugar, and it's one issue that causes him to drop the comedic tone and get serious. Crossfire. Stewart's face when John Oliver tells him it's coming back is priceless. Hiding behind a religion to make death threats on the staff of other shows on the same network. Jon Stewart has respect for Fox News, even though it might seem otherwise, because as he's noted before they have a mission and they stick to it like glue. He has none for the people in the same city his shows are taped in using the Islamic faith merely as a means to induce terror. As of August 4th, 2010, Congressional Republicans voted against a bill giving aid to rescuers of 9/11 victims. This was his response. Then in his last show of 2010 (December 16), he dedicated the entire show to this issue The bill was finally passed about a week later, with many crediting that episode as a major reason for it happening. Stewart's continued focus on the issue also lead to his being appointed to the board of directors for the National 9/11 Memorial in late January of 2011. As a New Yorker, Jon takes his pizza very seriously. The discussion of Chicago's deep dish pizza being better than New York style pizza led to a very colorful rant. And do not disrespect Bruce Springsteen around him, or try to cut off the power on one of his concerts. Especially if he's on stage with Paul McCartney!. Speaking of New York, the citizens in general, and Lewis Black in specific, are majorly pissed off by Rick Perry dissing the city. John Oliver hates people pretending to be British, insulting the British royal family, and British people deliberately acting stereotypical. Jon uses the former two to force John to make a cameo after leaving the Daily Show. Sell highly carcinogenic substances to India, and laugh about the workers stuck handling it... to Aasif Mandvi's face. One of the few, if only, times Mandvi was angered enough to drop his Troll act and just straight up swear at an interview subject on camera (which is saying something given some of the obscenely bigoted people he's interviewed without breaking).

Fun with Acronyms: The NAMBLA Running Gag. On April 23, 2013 Jon comments on the Stop Trading On Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) act, guessing that Fiscal Use of Congressional Knowledge is Expressly Restricted (FUCKER) act was a little too much to-the-point. On October 28, 2013 when Jon learns about the National Intelligence Priorities Network (NIPF) running all intelligence ops in the USA, Jessica makes the comment they are run by the National World Order of Regional Directors (NWORD) and Jon cannot speak of them, but Jessica can because she has the "security clearance." On September 29, 2014, Jon contemplates about his unfortunately-named charity, Helping Elderly Retirees Plan Evening Supper (HERPES).

Informed Judaism: Part of Jon Stewart's material since his stand-up career, with a combination of pride in his Jewishness and Self-Deprecation at being not very good at it. So, basically, he's Reform. But for the most part Jon subverts that trope. He clearly knows his Judaic lore and customs, but chooses to make part of his act about his choice to live as an ultra-assimilated, intermarried New York Jew.

Self-Deprecation: Jon, at both himself and the show. He even gave kudos to a man with a very unfortunate name for putting up with "this juvenile bullshit." Sometimes, when they point out someone being a hypocrite, they'll say it's like a program that airs four nights a week calling itself The Daily Show. On the 2/25/2013 episode, Jon apologized for using former Mississippi Secretary of State Dick Molpus, a longtime advocate for civil rights, as a scapegoat for bigoted behavior, basically ripping himself apart.

Hostile Show Takeover: On Election Night 2008, Stewart and Colbert co-hosted a live show reporting on the results (in between humorous bits and interviews, of course). After Ohio went to Obama, it became obvious he was going to win the election. The Daily Show's two black correspondents, Larry Wilmore and Wyatt Cenac, took this as a sign that they could do "whatever they want", and tried to host The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, respectively. It was over by the commercial break. Kristen Schaal and Samantha Bee also once tried to take over the show when Jon went to the toilet, because they felt it was time for a female host.

Implausible Deniability: They get sitting heads of state, major government officials, Hollywood stars, scientists at the top of their field, and actual news anchors as guests. They've earned Emmys and Peabody Awards(!), and can get celebrities to drop by unannounced for a cameo and good joke. Their news is at least as insightful as the regular stuff put out by the networks and the 24-hour news channels. But as he said when it was still true (and people were even treating the show as serious news), "The show leading into mine is puppets making crank phone calls."

Hoist by His Own Petard: Don Yelton, the racist North Carolina GOP official who had to resign after his interview with Aasif Mandvi aired. Mandvi later said that one of the most racist parts of the conversation (beginning with "Well, I have been called a bigot") was completely unplanned, and that Mandvi quickly realized the best thing he could do was shut up and let Yelton hang himself.

What the Hell, Hero?
 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart / int_d39e327f
comment
Done again, along with a subtle What the Hell, news!? here, where John can be seen literally pleading that the interviewer realizes just how idiotic the piece is, and cut it short. No points for guessing what happens. To elaborate a bit - the local news program tries to find their own "man with the golden voice", a homeless man that sounded like he could be a DJ with his baritone. They then went into the streets of Indianapolis to see what talents their local homeless might have. It starts off with the interviewer asking a homeless woman if she's "heard about the homeless man who had the golden voice?" on YouTubenote Because the homeless have internet access, right?... and gets worse from there.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In one skit, Stewart was mocking a (defeated) bill that would've said, "Life begins at conception." He then monologues to himself about a screenplay idea involving the killer being a woman's unborn baby. The camera then pulls away like they're going to commercial, leaving Stewart confused and laughing, and quoting the trope by name (mostly):

A Glass in the Hand
 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart / int_dae815bb
comment
A Glass in the Hand: Parodied in this clip as Jon handles a series of bad news about the Wall Street bailout by breaking a champagne glass, then the accompanying bottle, and finally his "comically convenient fish tank." (He's done similar gags with Spit Takes, as mentioned below, and one time with a Jenga game.) A Call-Back was made to that clip in this clip on TARP, where Jon reacts to the financial loopholes involving the bailout by first snapping a pencil, crushing a piece of coal so hard it becomes diamond, before doing the same to a cute (live) kitten. Not really. In this clip, after a dispute between whether the reconstructed New York City's World Trade Center or Chicago's Sears Tower is the tallest building in America, Stewart tries to mend the bridge between the two cities with champagne. Buuuuut then Chicago makes a claim that Deep Dish Pizza is better than New York Pizza...

Despair Event Horizon
 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart / int_dda99fa8

Despair Event Horizon: When Congressional Republicans voted down a bill that would give healthcare to those to who helped out recovery efforts during 9/11. Aside from being legitimately pissed off about it, the whole spiel was detailed in a segment called, "I GIVE UP." The bill was finally passed near the end of December 2010. A week earlier, Jon had four 9/11 responders as guests on the show (and the first segment was another lambasting of Congress for still failing to get it passed, while the primary guest was Republican Mike Huckabee, who also agreed the bill should be passed, going against the majority of his party), who all gave their stories. Many major sources credited Jon and that episode for being influential in spurring congress to finally get it done.

Jon invoked this on himself in all but name when he turned 50.

Later subverted in a segment about Planet Fitness, a gym that excludes hardcore weightlifters. Jon does not like when anyone, of any stripe, compares anyone else to the Nazis. He's been complaining about it since as early as 2004 on Oprah, when it was the Democrats comparing Bush to Hitler and Republicans in the House comparing Democrats to Hitler and Democrats in the House comparing Republicans in the House to Hitler.

Incredibly Lame Pun: Kristen Schaal pulled one of these in a Black Comedy never-have-baby-comedy moment. After talking about Sarah Palin's new group, "Mama Grizzlies", she mentioned that she'd "never be a Mama Grizzly." After watching Shep Smith do actual journalism (with real facts!), Jon cracks that "He's the Black Shep of Fox News". Cue the earpiece gag: Jon criticized the news media's habit of using lame puns in a segment called You're Not Punny.

Innocent Innuendo: Subverted. An open-shirted Jason Jones was on Chat Roulette looking very relaxed while his arms were making jerking motions. He turns out to be playing Wii Craps while masturbating.

Détournement
 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart / int_f844f993
comment
Détournement: Since the election of Barack Obama, a common gag has been showing the blatant hypocrisy of Fox News by airing their defenses of George Bush immediately before/after the exact same circumstances with a Democratic president (ie. denouncing protests as "temper tantrums" in 2004 yet calling them "inspiring" in 2008). He also does so to the other news networks, but they don't have a "Fair and Balanced" slogan to pin against them, so it happens less often.

Another popular Running Gag is Jon throwing his coat and tie into the audience. *puts finger up to ear* I'm sorry, I'm being told that Jon putting his finger up to his head as if receiving a correction message on a headset is the actual gag.

As of 2013, blaming anything on the uber-prankster and Manti Te'o nemesis Ronaiah Tuiasasopo, even if it's probably not true-iasasopo. Lampshaded when Jon admits that he wanted to do the joke four days in a row, just to carry it through-iasasopo.

Brick Joke: While anything that can be used as such, IS used as such, on August 16, 2010, Jon Stewart told John Oliver that his "F*** ing Stupid English Accent" was offensive. No points for guessing what the first thing out of Emma Thompson's mouth was when she came on for the interview at the end of the show.

Shown Their Work: Jon's interviews. Especially the authors - Jon reads every book plugged on his show cover-to-cover, and it shows. A particularly hilarious example when Herman Cain closed his campaign for the GOP Presidency by quoting the second Pokémon movie. His response is to make fun of this with his own flurry of particularly accurate Pokémon references.
