 * All right, Oliver has to be one of my favorite comedians, and the article looks very nice on a first glance.

Prose and MOS

 * A couple of duplinks found using the usual tool.
 * Think I fixed most- let me know if there's any I missed. Some I left since they were the first mention outside of the lead. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You don't really need the citations in the last paragraph of the lead; none of the things you cite are direct quotes, and are mentioned and cited in the body anyway.
 * Cut. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Birmingham, England should be a single link.
 * Fixed. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * We usually give the maiden name for the mother.
 * I can't find a source that states her maiden name. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * "drama Bleak House in 1985" → "drama Bleak House, in 1985"
 * Fixed. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * When did Oliver write for the Big Breakfast?
 * I can't find a reliable source that says the dates he worked on it, and the websites that do state it just cite the Seth Meyers interview that's already there. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * "Senior British Correspondent" not capitalized in lead
 * "including The Simpsons...episode ten)" This should have semicolons instead of commas.
 * "liberal-bias" Why the hyphen?
 * "Oliver has also founded" → "Oliver also founded"
 * "In 2018 on Last Week Tonight" → "In 2018, on Last Week Tonight"
 * "the rabbit Marlon Bundo" Might wanna mention that he was Pence's pet.
 * Fixed the above six points. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Images

 * You could add an image of LWT's logo to the relevant section; it's public domain, so there wouldn't be any issues with fair use or anything.
 * Good idea- added. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 19:50, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
