this is similar to what the Apprentice did for Trump: it made him look like a competent billionaire, which he isn't particularly.

Have I Got News For You over here was very useful for Boris Johnson, cementing his comedy posh guy image. He's not the only one, either. It's disappointing how supposed satire seems unable to land a blow on some people.
