1. His show is great.

The writers are exceptional.

3. I agree, it's always exceptionally informative, but still manages to be funny!

Something we sure could use right now!

2. Who ever wins the race for President,

that person would be well served by making John Oliver the next Press Secretary.

4. Well, he sure is great about keeping us informed - and he understands global matters

I remember reading that there's one subject he does not enjoy discussing - though it's tough for him to avoid these days - and that's Donald Trump.

9. What would it take to create an ad like that here?

Probably only a day, yet we have yet to see or hear anything except a garbled message from someone who has no clue what he's even talking about...

6. John Oliver is definitely in the running for the GOAT!

7. Brilliant show!

He strikes such a great balance between being informative and hilarious at the same time. He is such a gem!

Thanks for posting!

8. Thanks! And I sure agree!

He obviously goes to great lengths to inform us, but he makes it palatable with great humor. I know a lot were disappointed that he didn't take over The Daily Show, but this is the perfect medium for him. As a citizen of the world, he can choose to bring up subjects that we wouldn't hear about otherwise - and he doesn't have to focus on Trump, which I've read is his least favorite subject!
