The Democratic National Convention may have begun last night, but things didn't really get started until tonight when The Daily Show with Jon Stewart analyzed it.

Steven Colbert wrapped up the primary season that featured 10 candidates and 16 debates; he was hilarious.

The second segment of the show featured Jon Stewart rehashing the first day of the DNC. He was right on the money with his analysis of the speeches by Gore, Carter, and Clinton (certainly better than the meaningless oratory of the pundits on the other networks!), and was very funny to boot.

Rob Corddry summed up the city of Boston, where he grew up, in his report. I think it may have been the best segment I have ever seen on the show. For those of you on the West Coast, watch it in 2 1/2 hours, and for those of us on the East Coast who missed it, watch again at 1:00 AM or the other times the program airs tomorrow. The best part of the segment, in my mind, was when Rob went back to the hotel where he lost his virginity 18 years ago, though the whole shtick was amazing.

Lastly, we cannot forget the last segment of the program, an interview with Convention Chair Bill Richardson. The interview was highly comical (to say the least), but unsurprisingly, Stewart asked much more insightful questions than other anchors (for instance, he asked Richardson why each party is going after the few undecided when the "great unwashed masses" don't vote).

There is a reason why Jon Stewart and The Daily Show wins emmys, and why 21 percent of young Americans turn to shows like it for information. No matter what the pundits, politicians, or critics say, The Daily Show speaks to our generation, and as long as it continues to provide witty analysis of our nation and our politics, I and millions more will watch it night in and night out for the best coverage this side of PBS.
