Re: Is that a big deal?

I would consider The Daily Show a bigger deal in US culture than the show following Letterman and plus The Daily Show has a lot of American politics talk in it which would have lead me to think an American would get the job.

They're all comedy shows.

It's a show on COMEDY CENTRAL for pete's sake.
Hell, Jimmy Kimmell Obama reading Mean Tweets.....

It's entertainment. John Oliver isn't from America either.

Re: They're all comedy shows.

While I agree 100% with you. It's kind of sad than many Americans get their news from these sources and take it as gospel.

It is sad that this is what passes for news these days. Of course the news networks themselves have a lot of the blame in that matter.
