John Oliver: Terrifying Times (2008)
Overview
American viewers may know him best as the British correspondent on "The Daily Show," but John Oliver is also an accomplished stand-up comic. In his first Comedy Central special Oliver tackles the topics that perplex him about the United States. He takes well-aimed shots at the American political process and the invasion of Iraq (including how the Brits would have done it differently), and argues for reparations from the Revolutionary War.
