UPDATE: John Oliver's Real Televangelist Church Donations

John Oliver reviews the donations his church has received. He created a church to parody the incredibly lax tax rules surrounding the creation of churches. While the donations are real he has stated that when the church is dissolved the donations will go to Doctors Without Borders.

Thanks, @eric3579.

@ChaosEngine: It's very possible he got a few of those, but they're probably not going to advertise that at this point... And hopefully he'll give us a grand total once he's done accruing donations.

I was wondering why they can't take donations from those 4 states, but apparently those states don't allow soliciting unless the nonprofit/church is registered there (https://www.reddit.com/r/lastweektonight/comments/3h9ram/august_16_2015_last_week_tonight_with_john_oliver/cu5jhkc, while one can question the validity of the reddit answer, it seems likely). That same thread also seems to indicate that donations from those states would have to be returned. I do like that they are donating all the funds to Doctors Without Borders.
