I go back and forth on this show all the time, constantly asking, "should I just cut bait and run?" At its best it's both funny and informative, but I also worry that at times it's a little stale and choir-preachy. (Oh, Donald Trump did another embarrassing and potentially dangerous thing? I didn't know!) Still - it scratches an itch, it does educate and inform, and the jokes and dumb shit hit my funny bone more often than they miss. Is every other long-form segment or so a giant snoozer? Sure, but I appreciate what the show is going for with all of those. Plus, come on - is there a better half-hour of television to fold laundry in front of? I'll be back in 2018, John Oliver!
