I don't want to sound like an asshole, but the uptight nerd side of me is screaming right now. Jon Stewart didn't come up with the idea for the dailyshow. It first aired in 96 or so, and was originally hosted by craig kilborn. I personally thought his dry, dissmisive style made him much funnier than stuart. I also really liked his 5 questions seqment during his interviews. Here's one of the ads for the original lineup.

Moving this video to sme4r's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Bah, doesn't matter if this is where the idea came from or not, it's still funny as hell.

Now, lets see if I can't get my new golden star powers to get you a bronze one!

Double-Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - doublepromote requested by Shepppard.

Kilborn kept his "5 Questions" segment when he was hosting The Late Late Show (After Tom Snyder, before Craig Ferguson - oddly enough, Jon Stewart was a common stand-in for Tom Snyder).

It seems Kilborn can't keep a job because he tends to be rather tactless in interviews when talking about his writers.

Saying that your hot head writer would Blow you if you asked her to. Yep that's rather tactless.

1996 - The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn
1999 - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
2001 - Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Jon Stewart, not John Stewert. Oh, and I cannot stand Craig Kilborn and TDS is soooo much better without him.
