Did anyone was disturbed by how long and frequent where the interruptions when John was making jokes ? Between the AT & T, the fake but true mountain, the rick and rolling...The point he was trying to make was diluted in those jokes. It's like they didn't have enough material to make it last long enough so they just stretched it with jokes. He usually does them to a more discreet extent...

YES. it's gotten worse. The show has always been more about the entertainment than the serious topics but this segment was weirdly paced with the jokes

[aleksie]

I was disturbed, but I'm not sure why. It's not like this is first time I've seen this show or anything.

[sophistiquated]

Yeah it seemed more unfocused than usual

I can't watch John Oliver anymore because of that reason. The show would be much better without over-the-top jokes that have no place in half the topics he discusses.
