Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Abstract The findings of this study demonstrate that exposure to �The Daily Show� with Jon Stewart has a significant positive impact on political participation among American youth. Using a large survey of students (18-24 years of age) and a survey of a cross-section of the American adult public, this paper tests the hypotheses that college students began watching "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" due to its comedic content and subsequently became engaged in the political issues being discussed. The study adapts Grunig�s theory of situational involvement (from public relations research) to understand the processes involved. Additionally, the study uses the incongruity theory of humor to understand the importance of information delivered in the form of jokes or satire. It tests the assumption that viewers of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" in the student cohort participate politically to a greater extent than non-viewers in this cohort due to the mechanism of engagement, awareness, and efficacy. Data used to test assumptions are drawn from the 2005 Politics and Public Service & College Undergraduate Survey conducted by the Roper Center (N=1,204) and from the National Annenberg Election Survey conducted by the Annenberg Center (N=81,422) conducted in 2004.
