Classic John Oliver "Daily Show" segment mocking nostalgia for the "good old days"
Back in 2010 I was a habitual viewer of the Daily Show and Colbert Report. There was one particular segment of Jon Stewart-era Daily Show that keeps coming to my mind whenever I think about what "again" means in "make America great again."
It took me several google searches before I found the title of the segment, "Even Better Than the Real Thing," in an old blog. From the January 5, 2010 Daily Show, Oliver shows clips of Fox News personalities who harkened for "simpler" times in the country, followed by interviews by experts who lived through those years and know otherwise first hand.
