The Daily Show

1999 –


The Daily Show has used the same basic logo 1999 when Jon Stewart became host for the program.

The graphics for the show have however changed as graphics technology has become more advanced.

The opening has generally had two parts with different music themes. The first part of the opening usually has a "newsy" music theme which is played over an announcement consisting of the date and "From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is The Daily Show with Jon Stewart". This is followed by Bob Mould's Dog On Fire which is played as cameras pan the studio to reveal the host at his desk. Dog On Fire has been with the program since the start, although it was rr-recorded by They Might Be Giants after Jon Stewart became host. The news theme was introduced in 2003, and was slightly edited in 2007.

The current opening graphics were introduced on April 9, 2007 along with a redesigned set. The set and titles have remained mostly unchanged since. The titles were remade in late 2009 when the show was preparing for its switch to high-definition, but it is hard to spot the differences between the 2007 titles and 2009 titles.
