Chris Smith talks about his book, “The Daily Show (The Book): An Oral History as Told by Jon Stewart, the Correspondents, Staff and Guests.”

This oral history takes readers behind the curtain for all the show’s highlights, from its origins as Comedy Central’s underdog late-night program to Trevor Noah’s succession.

The show’s behind-the-scenes gags, controversies and camaraderie is chronicled by the players themselves, from Stewart to the star cast members and writers including Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Steve Carell.

A book signing will follow the program.
