According to Comedy Central, Jon Stewart, and the University of Pennsylvania, The Daily Show's viewers are mostly _______________ and ____________ compared with those who watch only news channels (CNN, Faux News, etc). It's not Stoned and Slackers as O'Reilly suggested - it's better-educated and more aware of current events. Check out the video, "Stoned Slackers Unite!" on the Daily Show website. Other highlights include (clip first, then cut to Jon's reaction):

Clip one from "The O'Reilly Factor":
O'Reilly [paraphrased]: The president is very courageous to do this interview.
The Daily Show Response:
Jon Stewart: Yes, very courageous to go on the most conservative network in the country.

Clip 2:
O'Reilly: The president didn't get the questions ahead of time, and didn't put any restrictions on what I could ask. He didn't have to do that.
Jon: He didn't have to do that?! That's the least you can do and call it an interview - otherwise, it's scripted!

The other funny part was when Jon questioned Steven Colbert's journalistic integrity, and SC replied, "That's what the bloggers are for, Jon".
