NEW YORK (AP) â Long before there was fake news, there was a fake news show.
Comedy Central s The Daily Show launched 25 years ago this month, dedicated to skewering journalism and warning viewers about how they take in their news. We became the watchdogs of the watchdog, said co-creator Lizz Winstead. Nobody had done it before so the world was our oyster.
Over the years, The Daily Show â first hosted by Craig Kilborn, then Jon Stewart and now Trevor Noah â has skewered the left and right by making the media a character and playing it absolutely straight, no matter how ridiculous.
