Wonder if Oliver was doing a quid pro quo after H. Jon Benjamin appeared as a speaker on a parody TED talk on Last Week Tonight.

John Oliver eviscerating someone occurs only marginally fewer times than snarky questions about John Oliver eviscerating someone

What a load of shit. HRC lost because she had a shit campaign. Initially they didn't even really understand how the delegates were apportioned in the primaries.

oh please Republicans literally met within days of Obama being inaugurated and said their number one job was to make him a one term President. I'm pretty sick of the sort of mystical power attributed to Cheney, reminds me of things said about Rove

Actually brings up a serious question. What's Mississippi gonna do. They actually have the confederate flag as part of their state flag.

Has another good story about being on the way to live aid with Bowie in a helicopter. Bowie hates flying so sparked up a cigarette. The pilot wasn't best pleased.

Dolby is kind of a fascinating guy. Did some properly funky music, hyperactive for instance. Produced for everyone from George Clinton to Prefab Sprout. Started his own tech company that was responsible in part for Nokia's classic polyphonic ringtone and is now a Professor at Johns Hopkins. A renaissance nerd if you…

Hank Hill being subjected to the gas station worker singing Boomer Sooner is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The fact that he guy singing is wearing a Grand Funk Railroad t-shirt makes it truly special.

Ireland announced today that PMI is threatening the same kind of lawsuit that they did against Ecuador and Togo and Australia. Could be a big deal because if they lose that battle with Ireland plain packaging may well spread across the EU. An anti-smoking domino theory if you will.

and as for your incredible speculation that he is like this is because he was besieged in a hospital, its just that speculation. Modi grew up on the streets selling tea at railway stations, does that mean he's off limits too?

His bit on Obama's speech about ISIS was pretty harsh, as was some of the things he said in his piece on drones. He may not have had a piece specifically like this on Obama, but that's because this is primarily for a u.s. audience and it wouldn't really make sense to do so since Americans are familiar with Obama. A…

And Oliver may well have had something to say about that, except his show was on hiatus when it happened and in fact he did ridicule the Saudi royals on his podcast the week Abdullah died. He's taken shots at Obama, Cameron, Abbott, Hollande, the royal families of Thailand (who dubbed him a "threat" as a result),…

absolutely, and he is of course not the monster that Washington wants to make him out to be

Ecuador City

If only the translator had been there when he said oliver had tiny balls

Not fantastic. Not terrible certainly. His treatment of the indigenous people as as well the press leaves a lot to be desired

He's an asshole that's for sure. But then again if that's the definition of dictator then the vast majority of world leaders are dictators

Well that makes the Aussies he's pissed off (most comfortably racist place he's ever been) and the Thai Royal family (who branded him a threat after one of his pieces). Now this. only 3 continents left to go not counting Antarctica

They did try the terrible 10 o'clock live for a time. What a disaster. The bad thing was if they had just had David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker and gotten rid of Carr and Laverne it had the bare bones of a potentially good show
