6. John Oliver

John Oliver joined The Daily Show as Senior British Correspondent in July 2006, after some success as a comedic personality in the UK. During the summer of 2013, he had a big break taking over the fake news desk while Jon Stewart took time off to direct a film. His dry wit and cutting sarcasm was so popular, HBO soon offered him his own show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. He also has a recurring role on Community and hosts John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show.
