John Oliver travels again! Interview with Iraqi UN ambassador
I love John's interviews. They are so offensive and terrible, you can't but laugh, laught at him, at the interviewee and at the media in whole. I wonder whether they are somehow staged or not. Or if it's mostly creative aftercut? Anyway, this interview with ambassador of Quatar is probably even better, the principle is similar, though.

Has Hillary still a chance to win? And who cares about Pensylvania once the primaries there are over?
OK, this shows how Hilary thinks about voters. "Come on, are we going to count that state? If we were Republicans, I'd have already won..."
Luckily here's my favorite Brit to show us the paradox of primaries in Pennsylvania: one day everyone cares about the state, the other day the state is forgotten....

Certainly not The Daily Show - Writers Strike SumUp
The Writers strike is over and here are three videos to summarize it. For me, it was kind of fun, watching Jon Stewart and his correspondents working without the staff, and I think they did very well. Mayby the writers came back because they just missed the fun:-)
This is how The Daily show came back as A Daily Show in the middle of strike January 7 2008.
Even Jon Oliver went to strike, as a writer, not as a correspondent, though :-)
What was the strike about? Money, of course.
This is what the writers did during the strike:
And here is the first Daily Show after the writers came back. I just love the introduction!

Oliver Wilmore Investigate the N-Word
Oliver and Wilmore investigative masterpieces are my favorite treasures in the archive. As in the Qatar clip, sometimes it is hard to tell whether it is fake or real. Either way it is quite funny.
By the way, I don't think you could persuade people, the less the society, to stop being racist by baning a word. On the other hand, this kind of proposals bring new attention to something general public might consider solved. If someone cares, it is probably worth caring, or at least listening to their opinions and take them into consideration.

Hilarious - John Oliver teases the ambassador of Quatar
I have to admit this is probably the clip that made me watch The Daily Show regularly. John Oliver, british comedian, member of The Daily Show (and writer as well, luckily not on strike) interviews the ambassador of Qatar (Quatar, Katar, I used to misspell the name before I had to google for this video quite often to show it to friends). It is so funny I could't believe it is not a fake.
It was not until I saw his other clips that I realized it is not fake. John Oliver just exploits the power he has as a journalist to make people uncomfortable. I wouldn't like to be interviewed by him, I guess. Here is the YouTube version.
The clip begins with: The American lack of knowledge about other countries... So, do you guys know where Czech Republic is? Just asking, no reason :-)
