Here is a nice 5-minute introduction to the topic without too much mockery from Jon Stewart!
Stewart even makes a Star Wars reference – an example of people with high responsibility following checklists to avoid mistakes:
“Even Han and Chewie go through a checklist… and they're traveling through hyperspace!”
Stewart ends with a funny, but sad line:
“It's so simple… it may never be implemented!”

Mark,
Nice to see a fellow Jon Stewart fan. I wrote about the same spot a few days ago. ( http://www.velaction.com/leading-change-checklists/) The thing that interested me the most was that 93% of the doctors who didn’t like following the checklist would want their own surgeon to use it.
