Alexander reference in The Daily Show (satirical news show). Not entirely sure about historical accuracy... ;)

I like it!

Of course, his analysis of Alexander's exit from Afghanistan is a bit simplistic (or even wrong, depending on how you look at it); but I smiled a few times as I watched the clip.
