The authors examine the historical context of political humor and demonstrate how the public turn to this venue for political information, and are in turn affected by it. They conduct an analysis of political jokes on late night TV shows dating back to 1992 in order to pinpoint the main targets and themes of late-night comedy. 0aTelevision and politicszUnited States. 4aTelevisión y políticazEstados Unidos  0aTelevision in politicszUnited States. 4aTelevisión en la política zEstados Unidos 0aTelevision talk showsxPolitical aspectszUnited States. 4aProgramas de televisión xAspectos políticos  0aPolitics and culturezUnited States. 4aPolítica y cultura  0aTelevision comedieszUnited StatesxInfluence. 4aComedias televisivas xInfluencia  0aPolitical satire, AmericanxHistory and criticism. 4aSátira política estadounidense  0aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty1993-2001vHumor.1 aBaumgartner, Jody C., d1958-1 aMorris, Jonathan S.1 aAmundson, Daniel
