Jon Stewart + an Englishman: Ah, There's Nothing Better

Mr. Gervais made an appearance on one of my absolute favorite television shows, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.  He was on promoting his new audio books, but the beginning of the interview was a hilarious yet painfully accurate take on the horrendous state of television. This is because almost everything is Reality-based these days, and we all know that means that it's undeniably scripted.  His interview reminded me of my recent television-viewing experiences in England, and I have to say I was shocked by the amount of reality programs on the tube.  I thought American broadcast networks were bad, but this was on a whole new level!  I mean, it seems as though the Brits love Reality TV so much that they even create a fictional dramatic horror series about their beloved Big Brother.  It's utterly fascinating.  And slightly disturbing.  As for Ricky and Jon, well as per usual, they're just hilarious.
