A written summary appears once the title has a score.

Critics, per Wikipedia

Television ratings from 2008 show that the program generally drew 1.45 to 1.6 million viewers nightly, a high figure for cable television. By the end of 2013 The Daily Show's ratings hit 2.5 million viewers nightly. In demographic terms, the viewership is skewed to a relatively young and well-educated audience compared to traditional news shows. A 2004 Nielsen Media Research study commissioned by Comedy Central put the median age at 35. During the 2004 U.S. presidential election, the show received more male viewers in the 18- to 34-year-old age demographic than Nightline, Meet the Press, Hannity & Colmes and all of the evening news broadcasts. For this reason, commentators such as Howard…

    Jon Stewart invited Elon Musk onto the Daily Show. Musk said he'd only do it if the show would appear unedited. Stewart and the Daily Show agreed -- calling Musk's bluff. Musk has now chickened out and now refuses to go on the show.

    If you have 6 minutes to spare over the next few days, you need to watch #JonStewart on #TheDailyShow dissect the current #AI frenzy. Why is late-night satire examining this reality with far more critical rigor than the very institutions whose job it is to study, regulate, and safeguard the intersection of tech, politics, and society? It is striking to watch those tasked with protecting the public stand at the front of the line, ready to blindly buy whatever tech billionaires put on the shelf..

    Have you seen what The Daily Show was before he joined? It was basically The Onion but on TV. He transformed it but for a long time TDS still *was* just a comedy show. Some people tried to put higher journalistic integrity requirements on them then the news shows themselves had. When they did, he pushed back saying "we're just a comedy show" and he was right. I would say things changed when John Oliver left and started his show which was designed from the start to do serious, in depth…

    Jon Stewart returning to host "The Daily Show" one day per week and Doc Rivers coming back at midseason to coach the Bucks have nearly the identical energy. Like... It doesn't speak well for the franchise's future and in the short-term it reeks of desperation, but... I get it.

    That second thing is also really important: this *isn't* a win for progressive, secular values — except in the way "The Daily Show" totally EVISCERATING rightwing politicians for years was a win "The Daily Show" came out good and people felt good, but nothing was impeded.
