Daisy Does America is an American travel hybrid reality/comedy series that premiered on TBS on December 6, 2005 and concluded on January 24, 2006. The show, similar to British actress and comedian Daisy Donovan's previous outing for British television Daisy, Daisy, was adapted for US audiences by actors Courteney Cox and David Arquette for their company Coquette Productions.[1]

In this unscripted program, Donovan attempts to follow the "American Dream" by blending in with ordinary people while at the same time poking fun at the individuals with whom she is working.[2]

Daisy Does America aired on LIVING2 in the UK, TV2 in New Zealand and UKTV in Australia.

Concept

Similar in concept to Da Ali G Show, Daisy features a confused Brit who asks irreverent questions of unsuspecting Americans.
