Jon Stewart on Wednesday was giddy over British Prime Minister David Cameron’s appearance before a rowdy special session of Parliament.

The House of Commons grilled Cameron over his hiring of former News of the World editor Andy Coulson, who has been implicated in the ongoing News Corp phone hacking scandal. The hearing became quite heated at moments, with Cameron telling Labour leader Ed Miliband to “stop hunting feeble conspiracy theories and start rising to the level of events.”

“That was awesome!” Stewart exclaimed. “That’s your C-SPAN?”

“Hey, remember when someone yelled ‘you lie’ at our State of the Union, and everybody’s like ‘what has become of us as a people’?” Stewart said. “This is the Prime Minister of England, down in the pit, taking on all comers: ‘Fuck me? No, fuck you!’ This is unbelievable!”
