The Daily Show Internship Program

Deadline: Rolling

The Daily Show is back, and we are prepping for our upcoming Spring and Summer semesters! Because of the strike, our typical deadlines are not applicable, so students who would like to apply for the Spring or Summer ’24 semesters, can send their resumes to internship@thedailyshow.com, and we will start conducting interviews within the next couple of weeks!

We will accept any major! The main thing we want to stress is that this is a production-focused internship, so if someone’s specific interest is only in the writing process and not how the show gets made overall, then this may not be the internship for them. This is an opportunity for students to learn something new and test out if this is a career path they might be interested in.

Send applications to: internship@thedailyshow.com

Previous internship placements include: Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Kansas City Public Television, The Marshall Project, Investigative Reporting Network, IndyStar and USA Today.
Digital Media: Working as a digital media intern means many different things, depending on the newsroom. You could be working in print, social, video, audio or all of it.

Previous internship placements include: Austin American-Statesman, Arizona Republic, Hawaii News Now, Nashville Public Radio, Colorado Sun and CalMatters.
