Its finally happened. I dreaded the day. The Daily Show is now mentionied in the same breath as network late night TV. So much publicity and exposure. The Daily Show is now Mainstream.
Experience has taught us that any significant voice emerging in the public discourse is destined for pop success and critical failure when it becomes consumable by the masses just like any other Big Mac fast food meal.
I believe that we will see a short period or over-exposure, probably through this election, and then the show will be turned into a cash cow for its investors. Sadly, the the message will be diluted to equate the "norm".
