I have some bad news for you about television.
Most of the political "comedy" shows are like this. If you are not 100% brainwashed with their political agenda, they are painful to watch.
yeah. The Daily Show has got a pretty standard formula. I read an article about how they, and their spin off shows like John Oliver, basically use the same script pattern for most of their shows in order to hypnotize their audience.

Hold on, I'm going to try to find the article.

edit: well, the only source I can find after a quick search is this post on an anonymous message board, but it covers the main points pretty well: http://img.4plebs.org/boards/pol/image/1479/14/1479145599055...
