John Oliver Visits Africa for 'Epic' UNESCO Segment

He ridicules US decision to cut off funds

(NEWSER) - The Daily Show made the rare decision to forego a guest last night in favor of a John Oliver piece that, according to Jon Stewart, was "so epic that it could not be contained." Oliver looked into the US move to cut off funding to UNESCO , the UN's global charity group, because of its decision to induct Palestine as a member.
