Needful Things

Probably the 2 funniest people on TV lately have been Jon Stewart (Host of the Daily Show) and Stephen Colbert (Host of the Colbert Report). Anyone who has followed these shows over the last few years would understand how hilarious they could get along with their sarcastic humor (putting aside the occasional repetitiveness).

Once again they appeal mainly to a North American audience and lack a global reach. In some exceptional cases they do cover international stories but their lack of research brings a certain handicap to the show.

Don't get me wrong, this is not an anti North American crusade that I am calling for on this blog. Quite the opposite in fact. What I am suggesting is that there are plenty of juicy 'Global' topics around the planet and someone out there ought to use this to provide a show covering these topics. Why can't we have an 'international Stewart' and an 'international Colbert' that secure a global coverage even if they are copycats. This can not but become a hit show (taking into consideration the hosts are as charismatic and as creative and witty as Stewart and Colbert).
