Does anybody know if Oliver's audience is anywhere near as large as Jon Stewart's? Lot's of people got their news from Stewart. Keep it coming, John Oliver!

And according to this the highest episode so far was the Donald Drumpf episode which pulled 6 million viewers on HBO and a whopping 85 million hits online!

I've become aware of JO only recently. And that's through the tube; I don't have HBO.

Which more than makes up for the Dr. Oz part (as John Oliver well knows). The Cameron Diaz poop bit is pretty good, too.

Highly recommended.
