The Daily Show has, over the years, turned into a serious news program wrapped in humor and snark. Comedy Central takes a great deal of pride in the mainstream journalism awards it's won.
Going on for an interview with Stewart is accepting an invitation to tap-dance with a shark. And it's not just any shark, but a shark that's won Dancing with the Stars mostly not by eating his opponents, but by tap-dancing.
Some people get Stewart playing the fool (but that's more Colbert's shtick now). Many get the tap-dance and leave bewildered and lost. A few get eaten.
