Recently in Washington DC, The Economist held a fabulous event titled The World in 2010 Festival. It featured a diverse and exhilarating group of speakers speculating on the events and trends for the upcoming year.

Among the guest’s was John Oliver, correspondent for The Daily Show. He delivered a terrific performance  which included a stand up routine and a “Tonight Show” style interview session with Oliver acting as host (See video below).
