  One of the smartest things he did was putting the main segments of his show in full on YouTube. He’s reaching audiences he never would have by doing this and it’s a big deal.

  John always says he "dead inside" but I see a man who cares deeply and is full of empathy.

  &quot;You can criticize something because you love it. Because you want it to get better&quot; <br><br>Amen, John

  This is the amount of rigor and professionalism in research that should be required for ALL news broadcasts... yet it&apos;s just the standard for his comedy show. You&apos;re a treasure, John!

  The only thing wrong with this piece was referring to the journalists that work for Last Week Tonight as &quot;former journalists.&quot; &nbsp;They are definitely still doing the real work of journalism. &nbsp;Just because they are putting their skills to work for a non-traditional outlet does not mean they have abandoned their field. &nbsp;Given how well researched every story on the show is, I&apos;d say they do outstanding work.

  John reported on medical care in our prisons and jails and was THE ONLY report I saw (decades in the corrections field here) that was 100% correct. &nbsp; Better than any national or legacy media outlet. &nbsp; &nbsp;He&apos;s a gift to America and people should LISTEN to what he&apos;s saying.

  He does love America. He was nearly in tears. He does love you, and you lucked out.

  He almost cried at the end there. He knows, deep in his heart, that those systemic problems won’t end in his lifetime. I am very grateful for his comedic coverage. His awards are well-earned

  John Oliver is the kind of person that doesn’t take himself seriously yet does take important matters seriously.

  John Oliver does the kind of work that gives us the information we need while making us laugh hard enough to give us the energy to actually fight those injustices instead of giving up in exhaustion.<br><br>I’ve been watching from the very first season. When I started watching, I was VERY solidly republican. This show is a significant contributing factor to me being a firm non-partisan today.
