Mature?
Yes, John Stewart singing "My Milk Shake Brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours..." is so very mature

John Stewart's a really funny guy, the Daily Show isn't a serious news programme but It's still fun to watch.

I think that the word you're looking for is sarcastic, not cynical.

Anyway, the Daily Show is great, although, it hasn't been as funny in recent weeks. It seems to be funnier to me when they're doing a lot of making fun of crazy right-wingers. That, and they need to bring back the "Ta-Da Ballot".
