In his maiden voyage as host of “The Daily Show” on Monday, John Oliver skewered the recent series of National Security Agency leaks with the aptly titled segment, “Good News! You’re Not Paranoid.”
Oliver took stock of the revelations leaked by Edward Snowden.
“So, thanks to a bespectacled whistleblower, we now know the government has been actively collecting an unprecedented amount of information on that small, select group of us who either make phone calls or use the Internet,” Oliver said. “I’ve got to say, I bet the Amish are feeling pretty f**king smug right now. Or they would be feeling that way if they had any idea that this story was happening.”
