'Daily Show' Mocks Jeff Bezos As 'History's Most Powerful Nerd'
HuffPost
The show jokes that Bezos' regular visits to Radio Shack as a boy gave him an early appreciation "for technology, cheap garbage from China and underpaying workers."
Amazon head honcho Jeff Bezos is a lot of things to a lot of people, but to “The Daily Show,” he’s simply “history’s most powerful nerd.”
The billionaire businessman is the latest prominent figure to get brutally mocked by the Comedy Central show’s “Daily Showography” series, and HuffPost has the exclusive sneak peek for it before it’s shown on Monday’s “Daily Show” episode.
And yes, Amazon also gets skewered in it.
For instance, “Daily Show” correspondent Desi Lydic, who narrates Bezos’ “Showography,” notes that when Bezos was a young boy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, his regular visits to a local Radio Shack gave him an early appreciation “for technology, cheap garbage from China and underpaying workers.”
Lydic also points out that Bezos attended Princeton ― “one of the best colleges for nerds” ― but didn’t have much luck with the ladies, despite being set up on plenty of dates by his friends.
