John Oliver Returns to ‘The Daily Show’ to Declare America’s ‘Monarchy Era’
John Oliver stopped by 'The Daily Show' to discuss America's current "monarchy era" with host Jon Stewart.
John Oliver joined Jon Stewart on the most recent episode of The Daily Show to discuss the state of affairs in the U.S., including the many departures Donald Trump is taking from the Constitution.
