John Oliver: Terrifying Times Quotes:
- "I am going to be speaking to you this evening with a British accent, so do be prepared for the words you hear to come with a little more authority than you’re used to." —John Oliver, Terrifying Times
- ""There is only one thing now that will unconditionally reduce me to tears. And it's not human suffering. It's not polar bears standing on tiny pieces of ice, although I know it should be. The only thing now that will unconditionally make me weep, is slow-motion sequences of sporting triumph and failure set to rock ballads from the 1980s." —John Oliver, Terrifying Times
