In season 10 of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, episode 30 focuses on a guest appearance by Ari Fleischer. The episode opens with Jon Stewart discussing the current state of politics in Washington, DC and the ongoing controversy surrounding the Iraq War. As he begins to introduce Ari Fleischer, his guest for the evening, Stewart comments on the unique position Fleischer held as the former White House Press Secretary for President George W. Bush.

Once Fleischer joins Stewart on stage, the conversation turns to the events leading up to the US invasion of Iraq, and the role that Fleischer played in communicating the administration's rationale for the war to the American people and the world.
