Tonight my advisor and NYU professor of international relations Bruce Bueno De Mesquita will be on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central (11PM). The promo reads, “The author and game theorist sits down with Jon to talk about the logic of acting on self-interest.” I am not really sure what to expect, but it would probably make my day if Bruce started drawing up a game tree for Jon.

The New York Times has a slide-show up with pictures of the protests outside this weekend’s G20 Summit in Pittsburgh. And among the photos was this one featuring The Daily Show ’s John Oliver talking to a gentleman who I assume was there to protest the deleterious effects of globalization on the plaid forests of Micronesia. The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.
