British comedian John Oliver spent around 8 minutes recapping the week in Australian politics focussing on the oddities of the Australian election campaign.
The segment had the studio audience in hysterics and has been picked up by America's mainstream media, including the Los Angeles Times which ran the headline: "The Daily Show discovers Australian politics as absurd as our own".
Mr Olivier found plenty of material to lampoon.
The clip covers a handful of uncomfortable moments, including the sexting habits of a former Queensland MP, a policy stumble by Greenway candidate Jaymes Diaz and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's failed attempt to kiss a baby.
Former One Nation candidate Stephanie Banister also rated a mention, with Mr Oliver calling her "Australia's Sarah Palin". Ms Banister quit her bid for the Queensland seat of Rankin after footage of her describing Islam as a country made international headlines.
Parallels were drawn between America and Australia on the memorable gaffes made by politicians.
One-time Republican presidential frontrunner Rick Perry's moment of amnesia during a nationally-televised debate that led to his downfall was compared to Liberal Party candidate Jaymes Diaz's failure to explain Mr Abbott's six-point border protection plan.
Next up was Weiner being compared to Queensland MP Peter Dowling's sexting scandal.
"You do not pair a penis with red wine," Oliver said.
"Try something lighter, crisper to offset the nuttier notes of the penis, plus it is almost impossible to get red wine stains out of a penis."
Then came Oliver's grand finale.
"So, in just four weeks Australia already has a Rick Perry and an Anthony Weiner," Oliver said.
"Of course, the real test: Does it have an under informed right wing woman thrust into a national political spotlight she is not only unprepared for, but at times, seems to barely comprehend?
"What I'm asking is: Does Australia have a Sarah Palin?"
The show then aired the interview where One Nation candidate Stephanie Banister mistook Islam for a country and confused haram with Koran.
"Australia, you truly are a nation of criminals because with that magnificent sound bite, you just stole my heart," Oliver smiled.
