The Daily Show: Indecision 2000 was a series of special episodes featured on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart spoofing the 2000 Presidential Election. This series covered the primaries leading up to the general election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. The series featured "correspondents" at the Democratic National Convention as well as the Republican National Convention. At the conventions, the correspondents interviewed many politicians in the comedic style that has made The Daily Show famous.
In 2000, Indecision 2000 won a Peabody Award.

[edit] Impact on future episodes of The Daily Show
The "Indecision" title became a standard for mock election coverage of various kinds afterwards in regular versions of The Daily Show, mocking the "Decision" label used by MSNBC in its coverage of campaigns. The Daily Show covered "Indecision 2005" for the 2005 United Kingdom Parliamentary Elections and "Indecision 5767" for the 2006 Israeli Knesset Elections, making a joke on the Jewish Calendar whose year is reckoned in Anno Mundi.
[edit] Notes
Indecision 2000 was the first of the "Indecision" specials on The Daily Show although not the first for Comedy Central. (The "Indecision" brand was introduced on Politically Incorrect during its run on Comedy Central.) The next was The Daily Show: Indecision 2004 covering the 2004 Presidential Election.
