American viewers may know him best as the British correspondent on "The Daily Show," but John Oliver is also an accomplished stand-up comic. In his first Comedy Central special Oliver tackles the topics that perplex him about the United States. He takes well-aimed shots at the American political process and the invasion of Iraq (including how the Brits would have done it differently), and argues for reparations from the Revolutionary War.

VIBE

A sharp, incisive dissection of American absurdities. Oliver's outrage fuels his wit, delivering a blistering, laugh-out-loud critique of politics and culture that feels both urgent and timeless.
