1. My hero, about as

multigrain as one can get.

2. He really is a national treasure

And I know that a lot of people expected John Oliver to have become host of "The Daily Show," but things worked out much better for him as well - and for us.

3. During the "Great Shutdown" those two

are the best at humor, without an audience.

4. I know him from the Daily Show, was not aware of his standing comic

He is really great.

5. I once happened to catch his stand up act on TV and he really is multi talented

He's great at voices and impressions which we don't always see on The Daily Show since he mostly reports on breaking news.
