Hey friends! The Daily Show has been entertaining us for past many years and thanks to the wonderful comedian Jon Stewart, watching the show has become a ritual with us. So today I decided to tell you about some notable moments of the show.
Well, to start with, Jon Stewart has been hosting the show for nearly a decade now and after he took over from his predecessor Craig Kilborn in 1999, he made some major changes to the format of the show, which resulted in The Daily Show reaching new heights of success.

The most serious moment of the show was when the first episode was aired after the September 11, terrorist attacks. The episode that was aired on 20th September began without any introduction and for the first nine minutes of the show a teary eyed Jon Stewart commented on the fateful event. He ended his comments by explaining how the attacks had changed the view from the South of Manhattan and instead of the World Trade Center, people now saw the Statue of Liberty.
Another notable moment on The Daily show was when US Senator John McCain was confronted by Jon Stewart about his decision of making an appearance at the Liberty University that was founded by Jerry Falwell. Jerry Falwell had been earlier labeled by Senator McCain, as one of the agents of intolerance. Many people felt that Jon was able to get away with this confrontation because he has been a long time friend of Senator McCain.

More recently, one of the correspondents from The Daily Show, named Stephen Colbert, stunned everyone with his announcement about running for the presidential poll in 2008. While maintaining that he was quite serious about his decision, he announced that he planned to run for both the Republican and the Democratic nominations from South Carolina, his home state. However, he later dropped the plans to run as a Republican, after learning about the high filing fee.
Also the write up will be incomplete without the mention of the two Peabody Awards that the show received for covering the presidential elections in 2000 and 2004, which was named Indecision 2000 and Indecision 2004, respectively.
