Oliver's utter dissonance when Stewart dropped the bit was funny. I cannot believe Oliver held it together to the level he did. Has TDS ever done that level of goodbye for a correspondent before? Finally, I don't think there was a bigger winner in television in 2013 than John Oliver, and there were few people more deserving. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
