UT economics professor Daniel Hamermesh, whose research has found that beautiful people are happier, appeared on The Daily Show with John Stewart last night.

Hamermesh has recently garnered high-profile media coverage for his new book, Beauty Pays, which explains the many economic benefits of attractiveness.

Hamermesh got the typical Daily Show treatment: Correspondent Jason Jones calls the professor “an uglo” and strolls the UT campus, rating the attractiveness of passing students. Watch for yourself.
