Stewart is the host of the Daily Show on Comedy Central. He interviewed Bill Kristol, a conservative pundit on the subject of healthcare. Kristol was quite clearly against government involvement in healthcare but went on to say that the military healthcare system, which is government-run, was a great system but too good for the American public. Stewart quite easily backs Kristol into a corner and it was funny watching Kristol try to turn things back around – unfortunately by this point it is too late and he comes across as confused and unsure of what he really thinks.
Stewart uses comedy to bring important issues to the American public in an accessible way, poking fun of politicians and the media. Whilst his show is for entertainment, Stewart and the Daily Show have been nominated for news and journalism awards.
