I love British comedian John Oliver on 'The Daily Show'--he's just the right mix of biting and dry humor. Now, in a video for Jbooks.com, Oliver hosts a "Literature Rodeo." In this segment, he traces the history of Apocalyptic books, beginning, of course, with the Bible.

A little slower and duller than Oliver's usual fare. Still, *loved* the speculations about the backstory for the "whore of Babylon." Very amusing.
