Regular readers will know that I’m a big fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which airs every weekday at 8.30pm on More4. Part of the fun of this “fake news show”, as Stewart describes it, are the spoof one-to-ones with foreign correspondents, who are actually standing in the same studio in front of a piece of green screen.
Except for this week, when Rob Riggle has been sent to Baghdad for a series of reports. Which makes this first report a little self-indulgent, but all the funnier for it:
Both Riggle and Aasif Madvi are my least favourite of The Daily Show’s current slew of correspondents, but with this one skit they’ve redeemed themselves in my eyes.
