John Oliver took on Televangelists in his show this weekend, and it is the greatest thing ever.

Here is what the Daily Beast had to say about this episode.

Your Uncle Gryphen has long been fascinated with televangelists and used to watch not only Robert Tilton in the 80's, but also Jimmy Swaggert, Jim and Tammy Bakker, and of course Jerry Falwell.

I of course hate watched them, and what I saw on those Sunday morning viewings only made me dislike religion, and the assholes who use it to take advantage of the simple minded, with a white hot passion.

I think back then if somebody had asked me what I thought the future held for such obvious religious charlatans I would have said that it was very unlikely they would survive into the new millennium, because people were becoming better educated and capable of seeing through the bullshit.

Damn, I hate it when I'm wrong.
