Kal, The Economist and the Daily Show’s John Oliver
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). I had the assignment of capturing the day’s events in a cartoon sketchbook. You can see some of the sketches below.
Included in the program was a short talk by me chatting about caricature and Obama in 2010. (see video above)



The Festival also included a trip to the recording of “Meet The Press” where we saw the physically imposing David Gregory interview NYT columnist Tom Friedman.
