I really like John Oliver.

Was disappointed that he really rolled over as a corporate sellout comedian when it came to discussing third party candidates. That was disappointing, but over all, he’s been really funny.

Haven’t watched the last episode cuz it’s a family thing and our family struggles with the schedule boss

Yup. Feel the same.

You know…when comedians are the only ones in the media who give voice to our perspective, it stings when they sell out.

The emails showed Oliver as a tool for the Clinton campaign.

The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

I just haven’t felt the same about him since he attacked Jill.

Me neither. But he’s still funny, and this was a good bit.

It’s maddening how he dances so close to actually being not a corporate stooge.

And then…dammit.

I mean he goes to criticize the media…and then… doesn’t really criticize the media.

guh…
