We’re at a point where America’s great public protectors of free speech and baseline decency are: The “Veejay” of a clip show of shortened airline-food standup sets. One half of the duo who brought the world “Girls Jumping on Trampolines.” Zazu from the bad version of the Lion King. They’re doing good work, but christ on a cracker they shouldn’t have been tasked with this job.

The “Veejay” of a clip show of shortened airline-food standup sets. I got that the latter two were Jimmy Kimmel and John Oliver. You lost me on this one. Edit: Also, don’t forget 4. The man so good at satire that he simultaneously convinced stupid right wingers he represented them and only slightly less stupid left wingers that satirizing the right meant that he actually represented them until he got a new non-satire show and turns out he’s just a left leaning centrist with an expert level knowledge of The Lord Of The Rings lore, but still calls a fascist a fascist.

I get your point but I do think it’s a little reductive to gloss over the fact that Oliver and Stewart have done an actually-good job of covering news all these years.
