Making Politics Funnier:
Daily Show Writers Tell All
Thursday, April 7, 2005
6:00-7:30 p.m.

In a cultural environment where the line between news and entertainment
has blurred, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has emerged as a place
where serious political debate is open to irreverent but pointed
interpretation. Writers from "the most trusted name in fake news" will
discuss their unique brand of satiric news, how ideas are generated and
turned into a script, and their opinions on the show being held up as
"real" news.
