Consider The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart your new social studies teacher!
The Emmy-winning funnyman will be producing a two-hour doc for History Channel called The Naturalized exposing the United States’ naturalization process. The special “follows eight individuals through the bureaucratic morass of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services… [and] will also include interviews with undocumented and deported illegal immigrants.”
Def a topic that should be touched upon!
“It’s a look at that process that is very much in Jon’s tone and manner,” History Channel VP Nancy Dubuc revealed. “The early stuff we’re seeing is quite funny but really poignant and relevant.”
The special will be produced through Stewart’s production company, Busboy, and for all you Jon-a-philes out there, there is a chance that Stewart may appear in the special!
Said Dubuc, “This is a topic that he appreciates.”
Fingers crossed!
