John Oliver: Terrifying Times

In his first Comedy Central special, "John Oliver: Terrifying Times," the British correspondent-turned-comedian tackles the perplexing topics that plague America, firing off sharp critiques of the country's political process and the ill-fated invasion of Iraq – with a nod to how things might have been done differently by their British counterparts. But Oliver's not just poking fun at foreign policy; he also takes aim at the nation's troubled history, arguing for long-overdue reparations from the Revolutionary War. Joining him on this irreverent ride is longtime collaborator and friend Andy Zaltzman.
