Daily Show segments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of Daily Show segments is a comprehensive and ever-growing reference for the segments shown on the Daily Show. The Daily Show often uses humorous, parody names for their segments. News segments that the host reports are often accompanied by the comedic over-the-shoulder graphic or a chyron in the lower third of the screen. The news segments reported by correspondents are introduced with a longer intro graphic with an underlying title along with the writer or producer of the segment, or desk segments which involve the correspondent discussing some of his/her points with the host. Correspondents also do on-location reports where they are seen reporting from Baghdad, the United Nations or the Vatican City. Often these reports are done on a green-screen several feet from the host desk, but occasionally, real on-site reports are done.
