Happy Birthday, John Oliver! The comedian and TV host is swiftly approaching 4 decades on this planet: on Saturday, April 23, he will turn 39.
Though the big 4-0 may be just around the corner for the Last Week Tonight star, it seems like only yesterday that he weaseled his way into pop culture consciousness as a correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and charmed us with his no-bollocks British-ness as Stewart's summer 2013 replacement, before earning his own news parody series - and a permanent place in the hearts of no-nonsense news consumers everywhere - on HBO.
It's also hard to believe that Last Week Tonight has been on the air for nearly two years already, having premiered on April 27, 2014. In this relatively short span of time, Oliver has tackled topics both serious and seemingly mundane.
In honor of John Oliver's birthday, here are our top 5 Last Week Tonight segments.
