ROFL! Via Ynet

The Daily Show recently started a new section of the show in which it interviews foreign ambassadors in the United States. The aim is to reach the under-21 sector in the US and Canada – 80 percent of whom get all of their news updates from late-night TV shows like those of David Letterman, Jay Leno and Jon Stewart, rather than from the big news networks.

British writer John Oliver, the show's diplomatic correspondent, presented Israel as the "Big Falafel" and asked Gillerman about "a nasty conspiracy theory going around which says that your country is being run by Jews." Gillerman proudly confirmed.

Regarding Israel's "war record", Oliver asked whether Israel "comes up with the names first and the wars second. What's your creative process?" Gillerman, smiling, said the names were chosen after the wars.

Oliver insisted on knowing whether Israel would launch a nuclear attack on Iran, to which Gillerman responded, "Israel has never said that it has nuclear weapons."

Not letting up, Oliver asked: "Let's say I have a friend who's ambassador of a state called Fisrael, and he's having a bit of trouble with an enemy in Iroon – should he use his nuclear weapons against Iroon?"

"Israel has never said it has nuclear weapons," Gillerman repeated.

"No, no. Fisrael. Does Fisrael have nuclear weapons?" Oliver insisted.

"Well I think you'll have to ask the Fisraeli ambassador," Gillerman answered, to the delight of the audience.

Oliver then asked Gillerman to pass on a pornographic screenplay he wrote, called "Pimpin' is Easy", to Jewish producers in Hollywood, but had to make do with having the ambassador read out loud from the script with him.

ROFLMAO!

Oh, didn't realize the hippo link was to video! Gonna watch it now!

zorkie, the Daily Show is like your Al Tsantiri News, but in American :-)

"Ambassador, like most Europeans, I am an antisemite..."-ROFL!

I don't know how Gillerman managed to keep a straight face throughout. It's hilarious :-D

I'm watching it now, this Oliver guy is hysterical. I'm laughing over the part where he showed the pogroms and the Holocaust and goes "Jews seem to have trouble getting along with people".

"It's totally Ferkakta"! He reads bloggie!

I loved that too.

LOL! Yes, I heard it too. I thought my ears were playing tricks at first :-D

Got to get to work now. Have a good night/dayla :-)

Later annie mou :-)

Ok, I'm crying here. This was hysterical and the ambassador was perfect, just perfect.

Al-Tsantiri News is not as funny as this.

Thanks for the laugh annie, and have a good day!

For some reason I thought John Oliver (of whom I'd never heard before now) was himself Jewish.
