I'm English and my first exposure to John Oliver was the segment he did on Civil Forfeiture which I found both interesting and entertaining. What struck me was how more like a British satire the show was. Do others think it matters that John is British and thus gets a little extra leeway (we do like our swearing) and can play the outsider role somewhat?

Although I think he was still finding his style back then. http://mocktheweek.wikia.com/wiki/John_Oliver#List_of_appearances http://mocktheweek.wikia.com/wiki/John_Oliver#List_of_appear...
