'''John Oliver''' is a [[liberal]], [[British]] comedian with a satirical weekly news show in the United States, ''Last Week Tonight''. The show is similar to [[The Daily Show]] with [[Jon Stewart]], where Oliver had previously been a player.

John typically discusses "issues" that are mostly off the radar for many [[Americans]], meaning that his topics are either liberal leaning or flat out unimportant.

Not surprisingly, not everyone agrees with John Oliver's choice of topics, or his presentation on those topics.  His show leans liberal.

He started the church, Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption, in order to satirize Christian pastors that request charitable donations. The donations that were received were given to ''Doctors Without Borders'', an international humanitarian group. As of September 14, 2015, Oliver has disbanded the church.

In late 2015, he started a fake "church", ''Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption'', in order to satirize Christian pastors that request charitable donations by appearing to promise the donor divine favors in response. This "church" actually received some donations; they were given to ''Doctors Without Borders'', a (real) international humanitarian group. As of September 14, 2015, Oliver has disbanded the church.
