As a comedy show, the Daily Show was excellent. Frequently funny. He and Colbert particularly had a rare chemistry. Unfortunately, it is my opinion that a lot of his viewership watched him to engage in the Yudkowsky sneer club more than they did to be entertained, and certainly more than they did to learn. It is always difficult to draw conclusions about political comedy for this reason.
