John Oliver to Jorge Ramos: I've fallen in love with America

submitted by Hipnotic

This past April, the host of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver landed the interview of many journalist’s dreams: A one-on-one, in-person conversation with NSA whistleblower (or traitor, depending on who you ask) Edward Snowden. The segment functions as explainer journalism at it’s funniest. But Oliver is no reporter. And if you call him a journalist, you’re insulting journalism, he told Fusion’s Jorge Ramos in a recent interview.

Love him. Feel like a huge amount of his appeal as a TV personality is he's so endearingly self deprecating.

Which is one of the biggest reasons I believe he is beat Bill Maher in the ratings on his own network. Maher, even when he's right, is quite a bit of an arrogant prick. And an all time prick when he's wrong (or trying to apologize).
Oliver is endearing and likeable because he doesn't take himself too seriously and lacks that arrogance.

I've watched Bill for decades now, and I must admit, he seems to have lost any sense of humor about himself.
It's disturbing that lately he gets mad at his audience when they groan at a bad taste joke...it's like he doesn't understand that's a sound of approval, and he actually gets mad about it. It's making it harder to be a fan.
