John Oliver Finds Humor In The News No One Wants To Hear About

John Oliver jokes that his satirical news show, HBO’s Last Week Tonight, does a 22-minute deep dive on news “no one in their right mind wants to hear about.” In recent weeks, the show has covered, among other things, the Italian parliamentary elections and NRA TV, an Internet channel with NRA programming.

“We like the idea of not just regurgitating stuff people have already seen,” Oliver says. “The truth is, if you dig deep enough on anything, everything is interesting. So you just have to get to the point of a story where it becomes fascinating.”

Oliver, who first became known as a correspondent on The Daily Show, started his HBO show in 2014. He describes the style of his long-form, heavily researched segments as “the slowest improv you’ve ever seen.”

This was a wild river in the days of my youth. Now it’s a salmon-killing slack water reservoir behind Lower Granite Dam. It’s time to free the lower Snake River. I hope I live to see the Snake running free and wild once again. Wawawai Landing, Mark 2, 2016. Photo by jmikephoto
