A man who found success as a stand-up, much like the majority of panellists that have frequented the show. Astute, well-informed and quick witted, as shown in his successful HBO show, Last Week Tonight, which came on the back of his success working on The Daily Show. Informative as he is hilarious, Oliver delivers a lot of dense information in a brilliantly funny and accessible way. Hed slot in so well with everything we love about QI, so surely its only a matter of time. Well educated on so many topics, an ideal panellist he shall be, if the BBC can steal him away from his new found successes on American television.
Stand-up comedian, writer, sarcastic scoundrel and a bit of a scallywag. Lover of many geeky pursuits and owner of extensively eclectic tastes in music, film and literature.
