The Daily Show has the following in it's "Awards" section:
The staff members of The Daily Show won a Peabody Award for their presciently titled "Indecision 2000" coverage of the 2000 United States Presidential Election. A second Peabody was awarded for the show's "Indecision 2004" coverage four years later. In 2003, both Stewart and the show won Television Critics Association Awards: Stewart for Individual Achievement in Comedy and the show winning for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. In 2003 and 2004, the staff won Emmy Awards for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series, and for Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program. In 2004, the show won the TCA award for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information, beating out traditional news shows in the category. Later that year, America (The Book) (see below) was critically praised, winning a nod as Book of the Year from Publishers Weekly. The audio book form won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album in 2005.
