John Oliver, The Daily Show's unmistakably British correspondent, won over the Bailey crowd with his kinetic, literary and utterly shameless brand of comedy on Saturday evening. Arts and Entertainment Editor Zachary Zahos '15 appreciates Oliver's irresistible blend of politics and culture. 

After two weeks of covering the Republican and Democratic National conventions, The Daily Show correspondent John Oliver delivered a killer stand-up set at Bailey Hall on Saturday. Zachary Zahos '15 and Julia Moser '15 talked to the exhausted but irrepressible British comedian about his Cambridge Footlight days, the political media circus and the ever-lovable Herman Cain.

The 35-year-old from Birmingham, England, is best known for his political satire.
