By now you may have heard about Toronto's crazy, allegedly crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford. The man's many pratfalls were the stuff of legend and local embarrassment, but are now finding international ridicule. And while Stewart highlights a few awkward moments, there are really so many cringe-inducing moments in Ford's less than stellar career it's actually hard to pick only a couple and leave out so many more. Slate has some here.

This is a few minutes of an eight minute segment. Later in the bit, Canadians Jason Jones and Samantha Bee educated Jon Stewart on Canada's true national pastime: smoking crack.

And lest you think Jon Stewart is the only comedian taken with Ford's brand of (unintended) physical comedy, last month Ford was also featured on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

From Tuesday night's The Daily Show, regular Samantha Bee laid waste to Americans for Tax Reform's Grover Norquist while interviewing him about his so-called "Taxpayer Protection Pledge."

NORQUIST: My team is winning and it can be taught to Harry Reid. He wanted a $2.5 trillion tax increase last year and he didn't get it.

BEE: Your team is winning? It's like you came up with this whole idea when you were twelve.

NORQUIST: It was something I came up with when I was twelve, to get a teacher to...

BEE: I'm sorry, what did you say? You came up with this idea when you were...

NORQUIST: Seventh grade.

BEE: ...in seventh grade?

BEE (off camera): Yes, the entire federal government is paralyzed because of a document, written by a twelve year old, in 1968.

Bee's solution for the Democrats... get their own "think tank" of twelve year olds.

Jon Stewart skewered Donald Trump this Wednesday for accusing him of racism after, as most of are all too well aware of, "The Donald" made the statement that "he has a great relationship with the blacks" a while back. He also took poor little old I'm desperately still trying to be the biggest flame thrower so people pay attention to me Ann Coulter to task for her "our blacks are so much better than their blacks" nonsense while defending Herman Cain after the charges of sexual harassment came out this week.

Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac and John Oliver followed suit with The Daily Show's Best F*#king Round Table to discuss the "inherent superiority of conservative minority figures."

From The Daily Show March 11, 2010:

As Obama makes a final push for health care reform, Sam Bee captures the tense mood at Fox News headquarters with her camera phone.

From The Daily Show Feb. 22, 2010, Jon Stewart and Samantha Bee just destroy Glenn Beck in this segment. My favorite part was Stewart whacking Beck for his "free education".

Stewart: See this idea that you can tax the people to pay for things that the government, elected by the people think is for the common good, that's the road to ruin. That's progressivism.

How does Glenn Beck learn that all this was bad?

Beck: I educated myself. I went to the library. Books are free.

Stewart: Glenn, Glenn, Glenn... the library isn't free!! It's paid for with tax money!! Free public libraries are the result of the progressive movement to communally share books. The first public library was the Boston Public Library in 1854. It's statement of purpose "Every citizen has the right to access community owned recourses". Community owned... that sounds just like Communists. You're a Communist!!

It's like saying diet plans can't help you people. I learned that while I was dropping weight at Weight Watchers.

From The Daily Show Feb. 10, 2010:

Aasif Mandvi freezes in New York, Sam Bee feels the heat in Australia, and Jason Jones reports on the darkness everywhere.

From The Daily Show:

Rio de Janeiro claims the 2016 Olympics because of its compelling presentation and its new Double Dome Stadium.

From The Daily Show:

Sam Bee fights for private death panels, John Oliver believes in universal death panels, and Aasif Mandvi wants whatever scares the public most.

From The Daily Show:

Sam Bee and John Oliver argue over whose country has the worst universal health care system, while Wyatt Cenac is thankful to be an uninsured American.

From The Daily Show:

Samantha Bee explains that the Democrats' supermajority isn't enough to get anything done in the Senate -- they need a super duper majority.
