Yes.

I can't find any mention of any comments on his comments on American TV so I must agree with your proposition that there are no comments.

Seriously, I have no idea what you are referring to

We don't have a direct ESP link to your brain so you'll have to explain for us simpler folk...

John Key appeared on the David Letterman show a while back. If you've ever seen it, Letterman does a (supposedly) comical Top 10 each day. They gave John Key the list of 'Top 10 reasons to visit New Zealand'. His answers were ( Of course the answers were dreamt up by the US producers of the show (eg I don't think we even get Leno do we?) - it's on youtube if you want to look there) :

10 The Auckland Airport now has a cinnabon
9 We have the loosest slot machines in the Pacific Rim
8 Only a convenient 20-hour flight away
7 It’s like England without the attitude
6 Down there Leno’s on at 9 o’clock
5 Get the whanau together, stay in a bach, crack open the chilly bin and slap on your jandals
4 Visit in the next 30 days, I’ll pick you up at the Airport
3 70% of our energy is generated through renewable hydropower – look they don’t all have to be jokes
2 We drive on the left side of the road, like the British and Lindsay Lohan
1 Unlike most of the world, we still like Americans

Cool, now I know, I find I don't care....

He invited serious comments on that made-for-the-show tat???

No wonder there were no comments.

Using the Copied Magically Method to shift this picture from one forum to another, its easy to see why they are mentioned in the same breath....the two countries are so close their animals can wave to each other
