When was the last time you heard an American talk show host talk about the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections 2014 ? While established names may have shied away from the Indian elections, John Oliver who hosts Last Week Tonight on HBO made a fascinating and funny commentary on the topic.
In this clip from the show, Oliver takes down the two main candidates of the elections viz., Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi in the most hilarious way. From Gandhi's good looks to Modi's riot-tainted background, everything is made fun of here. We especially like the jab at the Oscar committee giving Best Film to Slumdog Millionaire when the Americans last heard a story about a tea-vendor's meteoric rise to stardom.
It doesn't stop there. If Fox News is looked down upon by the American media for its sense of news culture, then the buck doesn't stop too far when it comes to their Indian counterparts as well as the Arnab Goswami and Meenakshi Lekhi incident showed us earlier. This video, on the other hand, gives the entire matter context and stays funny throughout. Little wonder the video has gone viral on Facebook already.
