I love this man anyway, but I hadn't seen this.

No doubt someone who is not at work will be able to dig it up on youtube.

The Daily Show Global Edition is on More 4 tomorrow at 8.30pm. It's a recap of the best of the previous week. I'm hoping it will be on then.

Definitely check out the full, unedited version on www.thedailyshow.com where the humiliation of Jim Cramer was even more complete.

I saw this and thought it was brilliant. You can read a transcript here.

My favourite bit:

CNBC could be an incredibly powerful tool of illumination for people that believe that there are two markets: One that has been sold to us as long term. Put your money in 401ks. Put your money in pensions and just leave it there. Don’t worry about it. It’s all doing fine. Then, there’s this other market; this real market that is occurring in the back room. Where giant piles of money are going in and out and people are trading them and it’s transactional and it’s fast. But it’s dangerous, it’s ethically dubious and it hurts that long term market. So what it feels like to us—and I’m talking purely as a layman—it feels like we are capitalizing your adventure by our pension and our hard earned money. And that it is a game that you know. That you know is going on. But that you go on television as a financial network and pretend isn’t happening.
