I don't really think he's famous enough. But then again, WWE has had Maria Menounous do a match or two and she's probably on the same level fame-wise. But Mick's probably too broken down, even for a match like that. I like Maria Menounos but I'd say that Ollie is more famous than her. How about a segment where Ollie, Jason Jones, and Sam break down Raw. Really? I'd say Maria Menounos is much more popular than Oliver.

my favorite part is how John Oliver pointed out that there was more thoughtful debate going on in WWE than in Congress and the cable news channels, calling it "C-SPAN with elbow drops"

Zeb better watch out. Daily Show just recently added New Jack to its roster.

WWE really needs to capitalize on this. Like this wasn't a 10 second reference, it was an entire 7-8 minute segment! A lot of casuals who haven't watched wrestling for months or people who don't watch wrestling probably googled Zeb after seeing his mustache beard and how he is playing a political stereotype.

I can't help but think this is great for Cesaro too. He was strongly featured. He's gotten more media exposure than 95% of the active roster.

And here everyone thought Jon Stewart's absence was gonna make the Daily Show boring.

That was actually pretty amazing. It was missing a "bang bang," though.

I really hope Zeb will at least mention this on RAW next week. But, dang the potential in a crossover angle with The Daily Show thrills me when I think about it. They could easily do what they wanted to do with Glenn Beck.

Finally seen this - absolute class; Vince will love this, though I don't suspect he's a regular viewer

I didn't watch Raw this week - did WWE do anything to follow-up on this?

This segment should be replaying in a few minutes And on a side note, I think people underestimate Maria Menounos's popularity Agreed. Plus there's this:

When Oliver was messing around last night he ended up doing the "You Can't See Me" hand gesture. It definitely appears that he is a fan.
