Good News for Brits!
More Jon Stewart for you!
"The Daily Show," comedian Jon Stewart's popular deconstruction of U.S. nightly newscasts, has struck its first full-scale overseas syndication deal with UK broadcaster Channel 4.
Stewart and his team of fake news correspondents will be a cornerstone of Channel 4's new digital channel More4, filing nightly dispatches on U.S. politics, news media foibles and Iraq's "Mess O' Potamia."
[...]A weekly digest of the programme already runs on CNN International - which like "The Daily Show's" network Comedy Central is owned by global media conglomerate Time Warner - but Channel 4 will be the first overseas network to air the show in its entirety.
