John Oliver: Terrifying Times

Known to American audiences primarily as the British correspondent on “The Daily Show,” John Oliver is also a skilled stand-up comedian. In his debut Comedy Central special, Oliver delves into the aspects of the United States that baffle him. He delivers sharp critiques of the American political system and the Iraq invasion, humorously suggesting how the British might have approached it differently, and even makes a case for reparations stemming from the Revolutionary War.
