Line #3 Trivia/TheDailyShowWithJonStewart


1	* TheCastShowoff: Somehow, even this show can do that. [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/e2xubq/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-playing-the-race-card The October 6, 2009 episode]] features Creator/LarryWilmore doing some pretty awesome (if fairly standard) card tricks while discussing how to [[VisualPun play the race card]]. Who knew he was a magician? Lampshaded where Jon says that the only reason Larry is doing this segment is to show off the magic tricks he's been trying to get on the show. Larry responds...[[VisualPun by playing the race card]].
2	* {{Corpsing}}: Jon tends to giggle a lot while trying to report. One of the greatest examples is when he and Stephen completely lose it while reporting the [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/1gonk2/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-prince-charles-scandal Prince Charles Scandal.]] He does it often during the tosses to the Colbert Report as well, or whenever one of his correspondents says something he wasn't expecting. Jon rarely tries to keep a straight face during his reporting, however. He also just barely got through [[https://www.cc.com/video/m8ixyc/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-kermit-the-frog his interview with Kermit the Frog]] without losing it.
3	* CreatorCouple: Correspondents Creator/SamanthaBee and Creator/JasonJones have been married since before either of them went on to work on the show[[note]]Bee joined the show in 2003, and Jones joined in 2005; the two have been married since 2001[[/note]].
4	* FollowTheLeader: This incarnation of ''The Daily Show'' in particular has spawned a number of similar shows in the Middle East, notably ''[[http://parazit-parazit.blogspot.com/ Parazit]]'' [[http://www.theworld.org/2010/12/irans-daily-show/ in Iran]] and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUvufBZoieEr1YOFhOMnzHw El Bernameg]]''[[note]]Literally, "The Program" or "The Show"[[/note]] with Bassem Youssef [[http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2011/04/15/03 in post-revolution Egypt]]. Both shows' hosts and producers [[SincerestFormOfFlattery openly admit that they are attempting to replicate]] ''The Daily Show'', and Youssef eventually became a recurring contributor to ''The Daily Show''.
5	* RealSongThemeTune: "Dog on Fire" by Bob Mould, as covered by Music/TheyMightBeGiants.
6	* StarMakingRole: For Jon Stewart himself, in the wake of ''Indecision 2000'' and later 9/11, as well as Creator/JohnOliver (who went on to have [[Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver his own show]]), Creator/LarryWilmore (who went on to have [[Series/TheNightlyShow his own show]]), Creator/SamanthaBee (who went on to have [[Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver her own show]]), Creator/SteveCarell, Creator/EdHelms, Creator/LewisBlack, Nate and Creator/RobCorddry, Jason Jones, Aasif Mandvi, Wyatt Cenac, Mo Rocca, Al Madrigal, Jessica Williams, Michael Che... But perhaps for nobody as much as one Creator/StephenColbert, who helmed the absurdly successful spinoff ''Series/TheColbertReport'' from 2005 -- 2014 and ultimately took over ''Series/TheLateShow'' for Creator/DavidLetterman on Creator/{{CBS}}.
7	* ThrowItIn:
8	** Most of the time, if Jon starts laughing, the segment just keeps going. Some guests (and even other correspondents) go out of their way to force a laugh out of him. Stephen Colbert in particular said that he went out of his way to make Jon lose it, as he knew that if that happened, the segment would be really good.
9	** John Oliver tripped and broke his nose [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/yuy2eb/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-america-s-love-affair-with-war while on one of his very first field reports.]] They called back to the office and were asked, "Did you get it on camera? Good. Was it funny?"
