/tv/ is unironically one of the most genius boards. there is something about it, the endless flow of memetic data tapped from subterranean sources in the collective mind. the perfect acuity of its targeting, the way it takes hold of something, the perfect piece of meat, in its jaw and won’t give, won’t let go. /tv/, though the topic of discussion is totally plebeian and mind-numbing, has probably the smoothest operation of any board on 4chan. you can’t go wrong it. you are in capable (i dare not say ‘good’ - but supremely capable, yes) hands

In other words he has like a staff of 5 people who spend 3 hours googling their subjects and maybe get an interview , who then compact all that information into a entertaining format, aka "infotainment".

People who find Oliver informative need to unplug from the idiot box for awhile and think about why it should scare them how people's attention spans have degraded to such a severe degree that they get supposedly important information from a fucking comedian
