About this programme
David Frost examines the power of television satire in the UK and America and asks whether it is able to alter the course of political events. Looking back at the funniest small-screen moments from the past 50 years, Rory Bremner, Ian Hislop and John Lloyd discuss their contributions, while Jon Stewart analyses the appeal of The Daily Show, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell talk about their respective portrayals of Sarah Palin and George W Bush, and Chevy Chase considers the influence of Saturday Night Live.
