I wish everyone would listen to the whole thing. Oliver goes right down to the mat with it.

It is still on my fridge too. He was not all sad and depressed after the election and wasn't urging everyone to try to get along and work together (Maher, Colbert, Maddow, etc were telling us to accept the fact and get along). Oliver was having none of that BS and he was angry. That was what I needed to hear. He told us to get a piece of paper, make a list, tape it to the fridge and do it...I did.

"Oliver dispensed with the election lament and urged viewers not to move to Canada unless you are a Canadian goose. Instead of leaving, he said to pay attention to how elected officials act on legislation and to vote when they are up for reelection in 2018. He suggested supporting, either through donations or volunteering, a list of organizations that work on behalf of immigrants, women and the LGBT community. Oliver also pleaded with his viewers to stay informed by by subscribing to newspapers, whether they be national outlets like the New York Times and Washington Post, regional and local papers or online news sites like ProPublica."

"Sticking with the opening theme of 2016 not being the best of years, Oliver spoke to people on the street about their thoughts on 2016. Not only did they not like the election results, there was sadness for the passing of Muhammad Ali, Prince and David Bowie. Oliver then blew up a large sign of the numbers 2016. With that, Oliver wrapped up the 2016 season of ‘Last Week Tonight.’ "

I love all the other guys too, but John Oliver is outstanding! He is definitely in his element with this new show.

few wobbles without an audience(think timing), but he hasn't missed a beat since. Now it flows from his great white void effortlessly.

I love John Oliver. He has an amazing ability to get to the heart of the matter and express the message clearly, concisely and with humor. I always learn something from him every time I watch.
