Ask An American

Every few episodes, a guest known only as 'The American' (voiced by daily show producer and comedian Rory Albanese) will appear on the show. He is portrayed as the stereotypical working-class American; xenophobic, lazy, and ignorant. He is from New Jersey (supposedly- some fans have claimed he is from another part of the US or even from England) and often gets in heated debates with John, each twisting each others' logic in attempts to validate their points. The American hasn't made an appearance in several weeks, with no comment from either host as to a reason for his absence.
The American is a microcosm of American society. As a result the American is the perfect representative of the United States because his physical state, societal and political opinions, and all his activities are shared by all American citizens. This fact has been verified by letters published in the email section of the Bugle by American Buglers. Some consider this to be suspicious and the FBI has launched an investigation.
On December 20, 2010, the American opened a twitter account under the name of BuglersAmerican
On November 30, 2012 (Issue #215), a spin off section was created called "Ask an Indian."  Which was a one time interview with an unknown guest held while Andy was in India.
