Hilarious Sketch From the Daily Show: Jon Stewart Schools John Oliver on Election Debates

[Turborama]

John Oliver tries to impress Stewart with how the UK's first election debates have been produced and hilarity ensues...

From Indecision…

Evidently there's an election going on in England right now and they're trying to import some tactics from the US. But as Jon Stewart pointed out on last night's Daily Show, the Brits have a long way to go if they want to truly capture the pure uncut shamelessness of American politics. Still, the British have made a lot of progress (with a long "O" sound) since the days not long ago when all elections were decided solely by monocle size.

I use it when videos are restricted on YouTube, hopefully it'll work for The Daily Show: http://hidemyass.com/

BTW I gave your "Clegg is evil!" thread a shout out in this thread I started in the videos forum:

I managed to see the relevant TDSWJS episode on Channel 4's 4onDemand online service. Very funny stuff.
