Oliver makes these segments digestible through humour, breaking information down into ways which the average viewer can easily understand with little effort.
[Oliver has] provided his own unique, informative spin on making the news funny...by eschewing interviews for longer in depth segments about subjects that usually aren't covered anywhere else on television.
Oliver's show stands out for its investigations into topics as varied as the militarization of the police state, Net neutrality and Argentina's debt crisis.
Taking on one controversial topic after another, host John Oliver never fails to stir up the conversation that leaves audiences fired up well into Monday morning.
As [the show's] work in 2015 proved time and again, they're pulling it off with flying colors, going places that other popular news programs won't even tread.
