Oliverio Promoting Oliver

____________________________________________________________________________________





 John Oliver
 gets his
 own show
 on HBO.


 Starting tonight
 at 11PM EST:

 Last Week Tonight










  The show will be a half-hour, but a legit half-hour — no commercials. 
  That will allow for longer pieces. Mr. Oliver was still unsure whether 
  the format would routinely include a guest

“I like the idea of carving out my own space, rather than having 
  to step into some difficult shoes,” he said.

  He had the shoe experience during Jon Stewart’s sabbatical 
  from anchoring “The Daily Show,” a role that had vaulted 
  the host to the status of champion of truth-telling about
  the news and media.


  The experience turned into far more fun than Mr. Oliver anticipated, 
  though it began with exactly the level of terror he had feared. 

“There are about seven seconds when that music plays at the top 
  of the show, seven seconds for your heart to burst out of your chest,” 
  he recalled. “I sat there thinking: ‘Is this visible? Can you see a heart 
  in a chest? No, that’s a cartoon.’ ”

  Nobody noticed. Instead they saw how much wit and spirit Mr. Oliver 
  brought to the assignment. 

  Reviews bordered on rapturous.
