Damn! This is why Oliver is my go to guy on just about everything involving current events and politics these days.
I like Trevor Noah and he was great last week, and Stephen Colbert has some moments of real brilliance on his new show, but for my money the REAL successor to John Stewart's legacy is my man John Oliver.
And this bit right here sounds like everything that has been bouncing around inside my head for the last several years about mental health and guns. You know, only much funnier.
And that ability to use humor to tell difficult truths to the public at large, is why THIS is our new reality in this country.
Leave it to John Oliver to drop the truth bomb concerning mental illness and mass shootings.
