New Daily Show Host Is An Asshole

[Pogo]

The Daily Show is a twee little program with about 2M daily viewers. Fox News programs do better than that.

I doubt that. Fox "News" commentary programs may draw more flies since they're in prime time. Everything draws more flies in prime time. The DS isn't in prime time so they can't be compared.


Edit: Actually the numbers say they eclipse even FNC prime time dayparts:
