The Daily Show

Airing in 1996, with Craig Kilborn as the anchor, The Daily Show had a slow start to fame. In its early days, Kilborn primarily focused on pop culture only. Then, in late December of 1998, Jon Stewart took over the show and introduced a new concept to television: a comedy show that revolved around politics. And the worldwide audience ate it up. It has become one of the most successful shows of all time. Some even say that it's the way most young people get their news nowadays. And I wouldn't argue. Not only is The Daily Show more appealing than regular news casts, with its comedic and satirical aurora, but it also informs and keeps the people updated about major events in America. Add a team of weather experts and few sports freaks, and you've got yourself the greatest news station this world had ever seen. It goes even further by interviewing people, from political figures to novelists to actors, about their lives and viewpoints. In all, it's an excellent source to get a laugh from, but also a great place to find information, and hear what other important people's opinions are.
