stuff that really matters? and if i do that s fair game for comedy too. john oliver has come out of the jon stewart mode of just having a great specific sense of humor. he does cover a lot of the week s topics from his point of view, and then he turns the show into one topic. which is kind of great because no one s doing long form like that. our main topic tonight concerns debt. i would like to talk to you about drugs. our main story tonight is income inequality. a good way to figure out which side of it you re on is whether you are currently paying for hbo or stealing it. more than ever comedy is a way to hold people s attention while you tell them important truths. i m not saying the irs is a likeable organization. but not everything that s important is likeable. think of our government as a body. the irs is the anus. it s nobody s favorite part. but you need that thing working properly or everything goes to [ bleep ] real quick. the comic has become the person who pull
o.j. trial and dave could be like there was a squirrel today in the park. just some bizarre offbeat thing. so you re not going to just get monologue jokes about the front page. it s whatever dave wants to do. sometimes it seems like a cable access show, like why is he throwing a watermelon off the building? i think that s an important consideration for all of us. and believe me, ma am, you ve come to the right place. you don t tune into letterman to see what s going on in the country today. you would have tuned in to jay to see that. that s the difference. character and personality, then a great joke teller. if you don t like who dave has on and you don t like who i have on, now you can click around, why don t we go back to jay? gee, here s something i might have missed. i found they both evolved their style. they came out of the carson thing and first instinct is to kinda sorta do it like that and then their personalities emerge and they did their own versions of it. the hos

another latin word, status quo, and it stands for, man, the middle class, everyday americans are really getting taken for a ride. that s the kind of talk you normally hear right before the pharmacist says, ma am, you ve got to leave the walgreens. it wasn t really about politics, it was about moral outrage. that s what made the show so so riveting and fun. most [ bleep ] have gotten pretty lazy and their work is easily detected. looking for is is kind of a pleasant way to pass the time. like i-spy. i say to you friends, the best defense against bull [ bleep ] is vigilance.
