Summary

Heads of state from all over the world gathered in New York last week to take part in the UN General Assembly, an event that often puts geopolitical rivals in the same room. Jon Stewart calls the play-by-play on some of the most infamous recent matchups - Bush vs. Chavez, Obama vs. Ahmadinejad, Gaddafi vs. everyone - and gets insight into the UN’s take on things from Sam Bee. Jordan Klepper then hits the assembly floor to mix it up with diplomats before Trevor Noah shares an inside look at France and Australia’s awkward submarine face-off.
