Why do you think he was the first? I don't understand what kind of rock a person lives under to pretend like this was some undiscovered format The Daily Show pioneered.
- BuyMyBitcoins 4y agoThere is a misunderstanding because I never asserted that he was the first to do this. I said “Jon Stewart popularized the format…” I never claimed he discovered something brand new.
- spacemanmatt 4y agoSame difference -- it was already quite a phenomenon. He didn't popularize anything.
- BuyMyBitcoins 4y agoRock music was already quite the phenomenon. Elvis didn’t popularize anything.
- spacemanmatt 4y agoElvis was a hugely popular rock musician when there were still a lot of potential fans to convert to actual rock fans. Jon Stewart entered no such market for political talk shows. The format had long since saturated the market.

The format had long since saturated the market.” [citation required] Political talk shows are one thing, but basing the show around comedy-first was the key. You can’t just claim that because talking on television about politics existed long before the daily show means the daily show did nothing innovative or that it didn’t popularize anything.
