The Daily Show: Wage Against the Machine


LOL Me in a suit and tie!

 

 

About a decade ago, one of my Bloomberg columns sent the debate about minimum wages and large, for-profit companies using the taxpayer to subsidize their payrolls down a weird path. The debate included some embarrassing revelations for Wal-Mart and especially McDonald’s.

Ultimately, it led to my appearance on The Daily Show, where I spent the better part of the day shooting a remote segment with the delightful Samantha Bee.

Afterward, I discussed my Daily Show experiences here. If you get the opportunity and trust yourself not to say anything incredibly foolish (see the video below), then yes, you should go on the Daily Show.

This is the anniversary of that show’s broadcast. The redesign of TDS site broke all of the video embeds, but I managed to find a site that had uploaded it (below). Fun!
