I mean for the first half of the episode he quoted past news pieces on the televangelists. That's not even his own stuff.


It's like no one has thought this was a scam before last night? I don't get the hype.


Next he'll do a segment on homeopathy and people will flip their shite at the insanity behind it because he explained it in a coherent way.

I remember when one of the network news shows destroyed Robert Tilton back in the 90s.

Tilton has always been good for the lulz.

Pectus, this was John Oliver speaking. He is the voice of my generation. No one has even come close to approaching this topic in this manner...ever.

That's not the point. The point of the segment was to show you the "why," not the "what." You can't watch that segment and pretend you didn't learn anything new.
