From Obama’s appearance at The White House Correspondents Dinner making jokes at others expense, especially our favourite directed at Jay Leno, to Conan O’Brien’s interview on 60 Minutes, finally breaking his silence.

Ben helps us understand the Henry Tax Review and how Rudd’s plans will effect us and businesses across Australia. Mike and Paul revisit the Arizona Immigration Bill and this time manage to not have a on-air brawl. Last year Paul warned us that Swine Flu was a big ploy to sell medicine by big pharma and now come reports he may have been partly right!

All that, The Billboard Top 5 and heaps more on a packed episode of The Ploy.

Tony Ashburn an anti-gay rights Republican from California has been outed after picking up a guy from a gay club – we have the latest on his hypocrisy.

Are unemployed people just too lazy to get jobs? Tom Delay thinks so. Sarah Palin admits to taking her family to Canada for healthcare in the past – does this mean the single payer system isn’t that bad? Rahm Emanuel likes taking on Politicans nude and in the showers and will Betty White be hosting Saturday Night Live?

John Melendez and Howard SternPlus for the first time we play the portion of last years interview with controversial former Howard Stern cast member John Melendez (‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’), which we previously removed as per his request. However for the first time – you get to hear what he didn’t want you to hear – and it is all about Howard Stern.

It’s big, its powerful and its in your face. It’s The Ploy 116.

We go over all the winners and losers and Kristen thinks Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were underwhelming, what do you think? Email or Tweet us your opinions of this years Oscars.

The Healthcare battle in the states continues to boil over and Mike, Paul and Kristen get heated up over the ins and outs of the legislation – does it go far enough, or is it too much?

Should NASA continue to be funded in light of the huge amount of US debt? Paul thinks we should continue exploring our solar system but is it fair to do that and not fund healthcare? We debate.

Joel Godard InterviewPlus Lara Bingle, Jessica Simpson is kind of fat, Apple delays the iPad for Australia and Disney hates Cablevision.

Not to mention the final part of our interview with former ‘Late Night with Conan O’Brien’ announcer and sketch artist Joel Godard who this week speaks out about why he didn’t appear on ‘The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien’. The answer may surprise you. He also tells us what he thought of Andy Richter’s announcing skills.
