The Mention of the Making

Remember way back when to a time when a former SportCenter anchor launched a half-contrived, nearly always hilarious little late night cable program called “The Daily Show”? Who would have had any idea that it could have come this far, blossoming into the powerhouse it is today? Not only does the show succeed on so many levels, helping to keep we watchers nervously terrified and always laughing, but last years’ book, “America: A Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction” proved that the formulas could work in other mediums as well.
