The Children's Crusade

The job that The Daily Show has done replacing its upwardly mobile correspondents is quite remarkable. Currently newcomer John Oliver has replaced Rob Corddry as the class of the show although Larry Wilmore, Demetri Martin and John Hodgman also deserve mention.

Last night, Oliver was on top of his game thoroughly eviscerating a visibly uncomfortable Eric Jackson, publisher of conservative minded books for children. Enjoy the carnage.

Jackson: There's some jokes in there like, Teddy's Car Wash.

Oliver: Ah! I get it. Like Chappaquiddick! It's funny because she drowned. Kids are going to love that!
