Choking up at The Daily Show's farewell to John Oliver

They showed an uproarious montage of some of his finest moments, and when they broke from the montage he was having real trouble holding it together.

Gonna miss the hell out of that guy's presence on the show.

I actually think he's funnier than both John Stewart & Colbert. Though Colbert is pretty good still
