Popular late-night talk series, “The Daily Show,” is set to hit Australian TV screens this week.
The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning show hosted by Jon Stewart will be available to stream on BINGE starting Wednesday April 2nd, with new episodes from Season 30 dropping every Wednesday to Saturday at 8:30pm.
