The Daily Show visited Nashville again on May 16, 2013 to shoot a story about how Tennessee’s governor has rejected Obama’s Medicaid expansion money in favor of a wacky health care lottery designed to fail. Correspondent Jessica Williams interviewed three Nashvillians and shot a sketch in which Nashville’s own Chad Riden appeared as a Publisher’s Clearing House prize patrol guy.
