Jon Stewart, host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show, and his coterie of patriots deliver a hilarious look at American government.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.  

This oral history takes the listener behind the curtain for all the show's highlights, from its origins as Comedy Central's underdog late-night program hosted by Craig Kilborn to Jon Stewart's long reign to Trevor Noah's succession, rising from a scrappy jester in the 24-hour political news cycle to become part of the beating heart of politics - a trusted source for not only comedy but also commentary, with a reputation for calling bullshit and an ability to effect real change in the world.

Book store nation, in the history of mankind there has never been a greater country than America. You could say we're the number one nation at being the best at greatness. But as perfect as America is in every single way, America is broken! And we can't exchange it because we're 236 years past the 30-day return window. Look around - we don't make anything anymore, we've mortgaged our future to China, and the Apologist-in-Chief goes on world tours just to bow before foreign leaders.

Julius Fischer hasst Menschen. Das fängt bei Kindern an. Pubertät geht auch gar nicht. Noch ätzender sind eigentlich nur Studenten. Und natürlich Berufstätige. Die sind am schlimmsten. Aber nichts im Vergleich zu Rentnern. In seinem neuen Buch erzählt er davon, wie er versucht, all diesen Leuten aus dem Weg zu gehen. Und wie er daran scheitert. Er berichtet von einer viel zu langen Zugfahrt nach Köln, von der Wanderung mit seinen Lesebühnen-Kollegen und erzählt vom Besuch der Leipziger Buchmesse mit seinem Freund, dem Dynamo-Ultra Enrico.
