The Next America on ‘The Daily Show’

Pew Research Center’s Paul Taylor appeared on “The Daily Show” Monday night to discuss his new book, The Next America: Boomers, Millennials, and the Looming Generational Showdown. Host Jon Stewart asked Taylor about Millennials and how they’re different from previous generations.

Stewart: “Showdown? Now, I gotta to say, I don’t think it’s going to be much of a showdown. I feel like the Millennials are younger, they’re healthier, they’re probably stronger…”

Taylor: “And here’s the other thing: They’re still living with mom and dad so it’s hard to mount a generational war from your childhood bedroom.”
