who watches jon stewart's daily show?

wouldnt you agree that he puts the news in a mature way and with that also humoristic, anyway it's a great programme.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In what channel is the show?
Anyway, no chance for seeing it, I don't have cable TV or parabolic antenna.
 
Mature?
Yes, John Stewart singing "My Milk Shake Brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours..." is so very mature
 
John Stewart's a really funny guy, the Daily Show isn't a serious news programme but It's still fun to watch.
 
I think it's funny. Not gut busting, but definitely worth tuning into. He's on comedy central around midnight
 
why do you think i added the smilie

I think that the word you're looking for is sarcastic, not cynical.

Anyway, the Daily Show is great, although, it hasn't been as funny in recent weeks. It seems to be funnier to me when they're doing a lot of making fun of crazy right-wingers. That, and they need to bring back the "Ta-Da Ballot".
