'Daily Show' Makes Hilarious Mockery of the NFL Referee Lockout [VIDEO]

It looks like the NFL isn't the only company facing issues with its employees. The Daily Show mocked the referee lockout Wednesday night with a correspondents protest, featuring Sir Patrick Stewart a replacement for senior correspondent John Oliver.

The Star Trek and X-Men star donned a wig and reported that the regular Daily Show correspondents were being replaced by actors, such as Al Pacino and Glenn Close.
