See the article here: How Jon Stewart Took Over The Daily Show and Revolutionized Late-Night TV: An Oral History | Vanity Fair
Much of this stuff I knew about in broad strokes, but overall it is a great read. A book I will definitely be getting.
That was an amazing article; thanks for linking it, WordMan. I would not have known about this book otherwise.
It’s great to see people recording and contextualizing what Stewart’s The Daily show was and how it came to be. It was truly a unique and powerful cultural force and I think it is important to recognize that it was not an accident; it was purposely built.
I pre-ordered the book from Amazon so I should have it 22 November.
