Titled John Oliver Why Everything is a Scam FIFA Mergers and Information, it dives deep into his Daily Show origins, turning down Jon Stewart that first time because he was mid-Edinburgh Festival heck yeah prioritize the fringe fest over a little show he quipped dodging Stewarts pushy yeah youre not going to Edinburgh vibe.
