Study: 'Daily Show' Is the Least Diverse Late-Night Show
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 10/20/10 | Lindsay Powers

Jon Stewart's Comedy Central show has the most white people, fewest women.

Comedy Central's Daily Show is the least diverse late-night show on television, according to a graphic put together by an artist that examined the race and sex of guests compared to the general population over a six-week period this past August and September.

The artist, Bard Edlund, admits his study is imperfect, and numbers may be skewed because Jon Stewart typically only has one guest on per night. Plus, guests who didn't fall into the categories of white, Hispanic, black or Asian were left off altogether.

The graphic also shows that Stewart has the fewest number of women, followed closely by George Lopez's Lopez Tonight and Jimmy Kimmel Live! The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson has the most women.

This crap is for jugheads who need a break from their “Girls Gone Wild” videos.

Meanwhile, . . . PBS, whose mission is to "see America whole, in all its diversity," features shows with predominantly white male hosts and guests.

Oh, the irony of it all! LOL.

The show is funny, as in comedy. Stewart rarely takes the cheap shot.

I am surprised that Letterman isn’t near the top in lack of diversity. I have yet to find a woman who likes Letterman or his show.
