This was a typical he he, haw haw episode until Oliver suddenly and completely dropped his talk show persona, stared directly into the camera, and sucked all the fucking oxygen out of the room. It stops being a matter of politics or national borders and becomes a matter of actual humanity (do you have a soul within you, or don't you?) when shit like that happens. I admire a comedy that is willing to totally shelf comedy to send a powerful message when it's called for.
