Students held #NationalWalkoutDay to protest gun violence on THE ONE month anniversary of the Parkland shooting, and the House passes a school safety bill devoid of gun control measures. Trevor Noah tackled these issues on the most recent episode of THE DAILY SHOW with Trevor Noah. Check out the clip below!

The Daily Show is an American late-night talk and news satire television program. It airs each Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central. Describing itself as a fake news program, THE DAILY SHOW draws its comedy and satire from recent news stories, political figures, media organizations, and often uses self-referential humor as well.

The half-hour-long show premiered on July 21, 1996, and was first hosted by Craig Kilborn until December 17, 1998. Jon Stewart then took over as the host from January 11, 1999, until August 6, 2015, making the show more strongly focused on political satire and news satire, in contrast with the pop culture focus during Kilborn's tenure. Stewart was succeeded by Trevor Noah, whose tenure premiered on September 28, 2015. Under different hosts, the show has been formally known as THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART from 1999 until 2015, and THE DAILY SHOW WITH TREVOR NOAH since 2015. THE DAILY SHOW is the longest-running program on Comedy Central (counting all three tenures), and has won 24 Primetime Emmy Awards.
