70th Emmy Awards: Last Week Tonight With John Oliver Wins For Outstanding Variety Talk Series

It's a shame he didn't use his platform to raise awareness of the tragic Koala Clymydia epidemic.

or windmill cancer

Or donate to the last blockbuster

Academy of John Stewart

Well played.

Seriously, almost all of these shows are a direct branching off of what Jon Stewart created. It is amazing how much impact he had on the future of TV political comedy

Huh? Talk about this year's diverse nominees! They even nominated a parrot. And it won! Kudos John!

Zazu ftw!

Toucans! such bird racism!

You were supposed to bring a show this week, not be in the Emmy

Fucking British Milhouse does it again

@Matthew i love the show but last month tonight is accurate af 😂

Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver. DAMN THE DAILY SHOW PRODUCED GREAT TALENTS.EDIT: There I edited it, i hope you're happy

Now add Hasan Minhaj aka "The last correspondent hired under Jon Stewart".

Gfg

The research John Oliver's team does outweighs the other shows, Sam Bee's show comes close. Well deserved!

@Ádám Arany I was done, like three times I was finished. I'm not going to have a conversation on someone's comment.

Last Week Tonight is the Game of Thrones of late night show..

Well I hope they don't do a season 8 then

I want you to take your words back! GoT was the greatest disappointing of the last 13.7 billion years

4 of the 7 nominees were John Stewart proteges. Their shows are all similar in a way but John Oliver's show really goes deep into the issues

It's Jon Stewart my friend. Alphabet matters

Soggy Ramen That doesnt really matter though, doesnt it? Saying that Americans suck(thats not what I am saying) doesnt necessarily mean the country he/she is from rocks. I think the commenter was condescending as hell, but I dont see a “of course, my country has far superior shows” in the comment.

am a fan of every single nominee but well deserved JonhPS: just glad that Jimmy Fallon wasn't nominated!

S. Lee-I take it back, you are HILARIOUS....hilariously stupid. YOUR the one disagreeing AND inciting....so shut the fuck up.

@Lisa A Johnson First, you're not disagreeing, you're inciting. Second, if this is what you actually believe, that women aren't capable of humour, and that women should be slaves (including you), then yes, ma'am, you do need help. Because you are not in touch with objective realtity. Your so-called "opinion" is morally and objectively wrong and you LOVE the fact that this oppositional belief that you hold bothers the world. You feel prpud of yourself for some sick reason. And since this sexis...

awww Trevor was genuinely happy for Oliver

Samantha didn't look as though she was.

And the next one should go to him
