The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Is No Joke
Pollers at The University of Pennsylvania spent lots of money to confirm what the public already knows: People who watch The Daily Show With Jon Stewart are just plain smarter than everyone else.
Over 19,000 adults were given a six-item political test within a two month survey period. Those who do not watch late night TV at all answered 2.62 items correctly. On the other hand, Letterman fans answered 2.91 correctly, Leno fans 2.95, and The Daily Show viewers 3.59.
With the exclusion of The Jimmy Kimmel show, this test also confirms the complete insignificance of late night ABC.
For more details on this survey (a.k.a. demographics, statistics, standard deviation, blah, blah, blah), go here. And if you want to be a wise & informed citizen, don't forget to tune into Comedy Central every night at 11 p.m. EST.

Jon Stewart for President! He's far more knowledgeable and likeable than both candidates. More importantly, he's adorable. Everyone loves an adorable leader of the free world, right?
