    Oliver’s show is doing a terrific job of reporting, which is odd for a comedy show. I’ve been very impressed with his content week in and week out.

    I wish it wasn’t on HBO. They only time I get to see it, is if it’s posted someplace like this.

    Hey Wildwood – you can see quite a few bits from John Oliver’s show and other HBO pieces as well that get posted on Youtube (as you may have already noticed in the lower right corner of the clip above).
