Economics, Bailouts, and Controversy: A Conversation with Jim Kramer

In one of the most memorable Daily Show takedowns, Jon Stewart interviews Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC's "Mad Money," after a highly publicized week-long criticism of CNBC. Stewart grills the financial pundit about his responsibility as a "financial expert" and urges him to take on a more investigative role rather than accepting information given to him by corporations. Jon also shows Jim some old footage from Cramer's hedge fund days where he admits to the ease of manipulating markets. Lastly, Jon implores Cramer to rethink his strategy of finance entertainment when people's livelihoods are on the line.
