John Oliver commemorates “truly terrible” year that gave us President Trump

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
When Last Week Tonight kicked off its third season in February of this year, John Oliver and his team were probably more eager than ever to survey the preceding week’s events during an election year. With a major party candidate disseminating misinformation, the jokes and actionable segments would practically write themselves. In that sense, 2016 was an embarrassment of riches, an incisive-takedown train, one that came to a screeching halt with the phrase “President-Elect Donald Trump.” This doesn’t mean the fun’s completely over—despite Trump’s litigious threats, Last Week Tonight isn’t pulling any punches. The show dedicated last night’s episode (the last of the season) to Trump, and everything that led to this victory.
