Federal campaign law requires broadcasters to give all candidates equal time on the airwaves. That rule applies to entertainment programs like "Law & Order," meaning stations that run the show would be required to give other GOP candidates a like amount of prime-time exposure.

The Daily Show being on a cable network does not fall under the same rules as a broadcast network such as NBC which airs Law & Order.

Therefore, the Daily Show does not have to offer John McCain equal time.

However, Saturday Night Live (SNL) had Sarah Palin on their show two weeks ago and since NBC is a broadcast network, SNL will have to offer Obama equal time before the election.

So, look for Obama to be on SNL just three days before Election Day.

Thanks!
