Political humorist John Oliver shatters Trump myths—then ends show with a ZINGER

The HBO talk show host who brings us political comedy seems to get funnier every week. He’s also become quite informative. Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver starts off his February 28 show about someone he has chosen, so far, to ignore — Donald Trump, who is “like a back mole that may have seemed harmless a year ago, but now that he's gotten frighteningly bigger and it’s is no longer wise to ignore him.” In dispelling many of the myths believed about Trump by his followers, John Oliver goes after the Republican frontrunner’s integrity hard, saying:

I’m not even sure he knows he’s lying. I think he just doesn’t know what the truth is.

In his comic way, Oliver begins to stomp out Trump myths.

• Myth 1: He tells it like it is. Politifact rates 76% of what Trump says as “false” to some degree. Oliver reels off some Trump’s lies, including when the GOP candidate said he was invited on the show with Oliver—five times. Not true. READ MORE

STEWART: Oh, it's the second of his three wives, Marianne. The Jan Brady, of Mrs. Gingrich's. The meat in his wife hoagie, The Empire Strikes back of his wives. The one that ends kind of sad, but in retrospect is really the best one. Well at least I can't imagine Marianne had as big a beef with the former Speaker than... as his first wife.

First wife cancer, second wife multiple sclerosis. Can Newt Gingrich be reclassified as a pollutant? A carcinogen? This guy's like the dioxin of husbands!
