Last Week Tonight Recaps Everything That Happened During Jon Stewart’s Daily Show Run

John Oliver plays it off like an innocent attempt to fill in some cicadas on what they missed during their incredibly long gestation, but we know what’s really going on here! We can see through the lies! Sure, this year’s batch of emerging cicadas comes from 1999, but you know what else started in 1999? Jon Stewart’s run on The Daily Show. Wake up, sheeple!

Yes, here’s John Oliver making up for lost time by recapping essentially the exact time period he missed out on while his predecessor ruled comedy news. But wait! The conspiracy runs deeper! If you turn 1999 upside down, you get 666 … and an extra 1, but who cares about that? And he’s talking about a literal plague of locusts. (Actually, locusts aren’t cicadas, but again, who cares?) John Oliver, just what kind of unholy, pretend news apocalypse are you trying to bring about!?

… Well that escalated quickly.
