You may have heard to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, he's very popular in the States and as his show is imported over here and is shown nightly on More4, he has increasing popularity here in Britain. I know I frequently watch his show (when I have a TV!!) Here I have picked a clip that is only a few days old and is one where he takes on the Healthcare reform. As Stewart is a satirist, the clip is very funny and he's playing very much to the audience, hence his high viewing figures. But he does get the point across and shows the lunacy of the people in Government.

This is such a huge topical debate in America, and a very serious one at that. And as we will see from next weeks film Sicko, it is one that everyone is more than happy to weigh in on. I'm just happy that Jon can see the lighter side of the news, report on it and then completely rip it to pieces. That makes good television!!
And just for fun, to show how popular he is....
