[edit] daily show appearances

is this section really nessisary? No other correspondent has anything like this, and he is on regularly so it will get extremely long. Raemie 11:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

He appeared on the Daily Show during the writer's strike on January 8, not January 7. You can check this on thedailyshow.com (this is my first comment in wikipedia, I hope I followed all the rules) Lostoptimist (talk) 21:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Lostoptimist

[edit] new pictures

there has to be a way to clean that up a little. It seems kind of hodgepodge at the moment. Do any of the other correspondents have anything like that? LMwalsh 12:14am, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birth Date Confirmation

Is his date of birth correct? Only the year 1977 is mentioned The Daily Show offical website. Someone keeps editing the article and adding April 23 without providing a source. And so far, I have found none myself. Suggestions? Help? Thank you :)

[edit] He's not in england anymore

He isn't. Come on wikipedia, be a fluid, living document. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.209.133.103 (talk) 04:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Middle Name

i think he just said on his special that his middle name is Cornelius so i added it. correct if wrong. Bridge 26 (talk) 02:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

He actually said his middle name was NOT cornelius. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.36.211.206 (talk • contribs)

Corrected that, my god dam oliver mentioning wikipedia!! БοņёŠɓɤĭĠ₳₯є 03:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

okey-dokey then. Bridge 26 (talk) 03:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

As someone previously claimed Cornelius is not his middle name, it isn't. He found his page and even said on stage it isn't his middle name. He only wishes it was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.217.167 (talk • contribs)

Maybe we can make his wish come true then... --Kevman459 (talk) 03:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Considering that Kevman459 added it only a few short minutes ago, without a source, it should probably be reverted. Kevman459, please do not be disruptive here. Parsecboy (talk) 03:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

The section titled "Current correspondents and contributors to The Daily Show" still had him listed as John Cornelius Oliver. I have updated that to read simply John Oliver.

This has been mention on WP:ANI БοņёŠɓɤĭĠ₳₯є 03:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nose

In a Daily Show sketch involving a Civil war re-enactment, he supposedly broke his nose while charging at the confederate army. Does anyone know if that's true? Sulaymanf (talk) 05:02, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

That's true. It was in the segment, and they showed a shot of him being driven to the hospital. shadytrees (talk) 00:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
