I'm British, so obviously I repress any powerful emotions of any kind in relation to anything.
John Oliver
Image
I'm British. I don't really have access to my emotions on a daily basis.

People, I guess, generally come to see me do stand-up with a working knowledge of my broad sense of humor on The Daily Show ... I don't think anyone would mistake me as an actual anchor.
