He had 312,000 viewers aged 25-54 on Monday, and about 450,000 in that range Tuesday & Wednesday.

The Daily Show's ratings are harder to find, but one report ( http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/12/21/comedy-central-ends-2011-as-the-1-entertainment-network-in-cable-among-men-18-34-and-men-18-24/114431/ ) says they have just over a million viewers averaged over the year, a 2% increase from last year. Of course the preponderance of that viewership is in the 25-54 bracket, compared to about one third of O'Reilly's viewers. If you're selling soap, that matters. If you're influencing votes, it doesn't.
