He delivered a terrific performance  which included a stand up routine and a &#8220;Tonight Show&#8221; style interview session with Oliver acting as host (See video below). I had the assignment of capturing the day&#8217;s events in a cartoon sketchbook. You can see some of the sketches below.</p>
<p>Included in the program was a short talk by me chatting about caricature and Obama in 2010. (see video above)</p>

I had the assignment of capturing the day&#8217;s events in a cartoon sketchbook. You can see some of the sketches below.</p>
<p>Included in the program was a short talk by me chatting about caricature and Obama in 2010. (see video above)</p>

<p>The Festival also included a trip to the recording of &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; where we saw the physically imposing David Gregory interview NYT columnist Tom Friedman.<br />
