Brian Feldman New York Magazine/Vulture Most of the show's presidential commentary during the early 2001 period focused on Bush's ability to conjure up new words and speculation that Cheney was pulling the strings, a joke that was old even in 2001. Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune "Indecision," the show's banner for coverage of national conventions, would get smarter and funnier with age, but its inaugural attempt... became the program's first can't-miss moment. Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Julie Salamon New York Times Because ''The Daily Show'' is far more enjoyable when compared with the traditional newscasts, it could actually encourage young people to watch the nightly news -- if only to make fun of it.
