Oliver first became known to U.S. audiences as the senior British correspondent for \u201cThe Daily Show,\u201d bringing a keen outsider\u2019s eye and observational humor to American political dysfunction. But since 2014, he has been hosting his own show, \u201cLast Week Tonight,\u201d on HBO, winning 30 Emmys and the respect of a devoted audience for his very funny, meticulously researched deep dives into subjects that few would consider obvious comedic fodder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Subscribe: <\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-interview\/id1624946521\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Podcasts<\/a><\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> | <\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/7cDVEBbn8tM4vCEFM4TFA2?si=ccb3bbaadb75485f\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a><\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> | <\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLdMrbgYfVl-s5c4ug8qDCNmdmSKPvr-Pi\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> | <\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/3c7db6c5-3de8-4bf0-b8b4-c540dc623cb7\/the-interview\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> | <\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/326-the-interview-97152890\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">iHeart<\/a><\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> | <\/strong><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/audio\/app\/syndicated\/audio-app-show-the-interview\" title=\"\">NYT Audio App<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The show opens with a short riff on the news of the week, but the main event is that detailed spelunk into a single, often pretty nerdy topic. This season alone, Oliver has talked about state medical boards, corn and deep-sea mining and has made the case for universal free lunch in American schools. This is comedy married with moral outrage, and the show\u2019s work has even led to real-world change (called <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/3674807\/john-oliver-net-neutrality-civil-forfeiture-miss-america\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the John Oliver effect<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In this tumultuous moment, when we\u2019re all inundated with low-quality viral takes and misinformation posing as news, Oliver\u2019s fact-based-for-laughs approach (\u201cIt\u2019s only funny if it\u2019s true,\u201d he told me) has blurred the line between entertainment and journalism. All of which made me curious about how Oliver sees himself and his work 10 years in, during another bitterly fought election. We first spoke the day after the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">This is your first time in the New York Times building, right?<\/strong> It is my first time in this building, yes.
