I'm not trying to create a straight up news show. I want you to watch' The Daily Show' because it's going to tell you what's happening in the world and also because it's going to help you laugh, because if you're not laughing at what's going on right now, you will go crazy.

I think it's good that there are people approaching it different ways, for the shows that are less political, I don't think they just sit there all day with their feet up waiting for taping time to roll around. I think they're working just as hard as we are.

The nice thing about anger is that, as an emotion, it's strong enough to unplug me from the comedian's mind for a minute and just be a frustrated member of the citizenry.
