Comedy Central is home to America's most famous news broadcasts--

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
and
The Colbert Report (Silent Ts)

They bring the news, with a spin, mock the "real"" guys" like Bill O'Reilly, and are very funny.

Also--The Daily Show, every 2 years, has Indecision ____ (insert year) for the elections...funny, very much so.

Question:
Do you watch Steven Colbert, Jon Stewart, or no one?

Choices:
Steven Colbert
Jon Stewart
BOTH Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert
Don't watch either

You know who else was "popular" Dennis Rodman, Jamal White, Gary Coldman, Cindy Lawfer (see? people nowadyas can't even speel her name!) and George Clooney is next! Bah just thinking about that man makes my Batman-fanboy blood boil!

And somehow, I have yet to see Dennis Rodman working in McDonald's. Wow, imagine that.

When shows like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report get less popular than they are now (as all shows eventually do), that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be shut down and Steven Colbert will have to sing in bars to earn a living (have you heard that man sing? He's better than most American Idol winners). Many unpopular shows still run, especially on channels like Comedy Central. If it was network TV, they'd be gone once the viewers dip under 5 million. But hey, SNL is still on. And who seriously watches that any more? I mean, come on.

But are they deep-frying skinned potatoes? Of course not. When A-list celebrities lose their popularity, they become B-list. And then C-list. And then they start appearing on celebrity reality shows and Hollywood Squares before finally resorting to just living off the millions of dollars they earned when they were famous. Tough life, isn't it?

Considering the popularity of humorous news shows, I highly doubt that. The American public is more willing to laugh at the politicians than we used to be, which is why people like Stewart and Colbert are so popular.

I got a few words for Jon and Steve: "DING! Fries are ready!" cause thats were they are gonna be.

oh man.
i love both shows.
they crack me up everytime they poke fun of politicians.
i wish real news were like this.
plus, i think i've learned more with them about politics.

I like the Colbert Report, and Jon Stewart, sure.
I mean, I'm not going to watch them, and take them completely seriously. I try to put the things they say into context.

With that said, I've been known to piss my pants laughing fairly hardly, and learning something too.

Now, if only they did that with PBS...

Exactly. It's not as if they make up the news items themselves. If you watch Weekend Update, the Daily Show, or the Colbert Report, you do actually get the news.

Unless CNN's been lying to me as well.

Well by that logic Weekend Update on SNL is real news too, ha.

true, sad as hell but true

you know whats sad... they would probably get the largest youth voter turn out in recorded history... and that would nullify the senior vote, leaving the middle aged people that find them amusing to vote them in.

I love how Colbert and Stewart mocked the living hell out of this group that wanted them to run for the oval office

Well I think that they play an important role in politics. I hope that in the future Jon Stewart takes a more aggressive and prominent role in politics through a non-partisan network show that does nothing but take quotes from the day and find clips from before where they are now contradicting themselves. I long for the day when Jon Stewart has a presidential hopeful on his show, then the other candidate complains because he wasn't given equal time.
