John Oliver, the host of HBO's "Last Week Tonight", is a brilliant host which brings to light issues both locally and globally ( In that need more attention. In 2015, John Oliver flew to Moscow, Russia to sit down and have an interview with Edward Snowden (who has been granted asylum in Russia until August 2017 thus far).
