Re: [TV orNotTV] Oliver's apparently record-breaking move

Whether it was "better" depends on how you look at things. Oprah was probably more spectacular. But Oliver potentially changed many more lives - 9,000 v 276 audience members. And from what I can understand, Oliver didn't leave lots of audience members with large tax bills as a result of winning t

RE: [TV orNotTV] Oliver's apparently record-breaking move

Re: [TV orNotTV] OK, how does Corden appear on Colbert...
