15. “The Daily Show” (1999 – present)
When Jon Stewart took over hosting duties from Craig Kilborn in January of 1999, the fake newscast became the country’s number one source for political humor. From politicians to media figures, no one is safe from the show’s biting satire. For most young people, “The Daily Show” is their only source for news and a recent Time magazine poll named Jon Stewart America’s most trusted newsman. Even though the show has a very liberal slant, conservatives love coming on the show and talking to Stewart because they know that he will always be fair. Stewart’s interview style is casual but he also asks questions most of us would want to ask people in power. The show has also launched the careers of Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms, Lewis Black and John Hodgeman. — Dan Gomez
