On this week's episode of 'The Daily Show,' Jon Stewart covered the ongoing ICE protest in Los Angeles, labeling L.A. as 'our most flammable city.'

Since its debut in 1996, The Daily Show has been a cornerstone of political satire and late-night comedy. Under Jon Stewart’s iconic leadership from 1999 to 2015, it evolved into a cultural phenomenon that reshaped how America engages with the news.

Jon Stewart gave a stirring defense of writers as tech companies increasingly dominate the entertainment business. The Daily Show host said the loss of opportunities for writers as technology companies, such as Apple, Netflix and Amazon move further into the business, would be a “tragic thing to lose”.
