Jon Oliver; which is a whole different beast entirely.

I used to love him, and still try to watch.

But oh my god, now I'd rather watch birthday clips from Auschwitz, it is SOOOOO depressing. I get that it's reality, but it's funny how it followed Game of Thrones and Chernobyl, and was always far more depressing than either.

Yeah. Oliver really is a "Welcome to the hell that is our reality" type of show. But his gimmicks and his absolute love of spending HBO's money on random crap is still crazy entertaining to me.
