John Oliver... an essentially British Comedian

John Oliver is only 31 years old, but he has already made his mark in the comedy world, and promises us even wilder comedy and most importantly accute satire. John is a regular writer & correspondent on the Emmy award winning Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He is my favorite Daily Show "Correspondent", it's not just his accent, and is one of the most intelligent satirists (Caution: endagered species) out there! He was also the writer and star of Radio 4's 'The Department' alongside Chris Addison and Andy Zaltzman. It centered around a three man 'think tank' who each week solved one of the world's major problems and it was hilarious. He is also currently writing and presenting "The Bugle" podcast.
