I always go through withdrawal when The Daily Show is on hiatus. Last week, however, the show’s correspondent team (John Oliver, Jason Jones, Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac and Aasif Mandvi) provided a soothing relief for my deprivation in the form of a web series that purports to explain the core philosophies underlying various political parties and movements, including the Democrats, Republicans, Socialists and Tea Partiers. It really hit the spot.
The Daily Show returns to its regular schedule this evening.
