Welcome to the second part of a series of articles by Centives on the Evolution of the Daily Show<\/a> over the years. Today we’re examining the guests that appeared on the show in the year 2000.

Compared to 1999, the percentage of actors and musicians who appeared on the show in 2000 stayed about the same. The number of comedians dropped, however, from close to 20% to just 6%. They were replaced by journalists and politicians who made 19 appearances on the show, compared to the 3 they did in 1999. The majority of those journalists and politicians made their appearance after July as the 2000 election began to dominate the airwaves.<\/p>\n

The first author, Ben Stein<\/a>, made an appearance on the show in April of 2000, although he has the odd distinction of being somebody who could just as easily be classified as either a comedian or a journalist. He was soon followed by Joe Eszterhas<\/a>. The first business leader, Hugh Hefner<\/a>, also showed up in the studio in April of 2000.<\/p>\n
