John Oliver didn’t let HBO know he was interviewing Edward Snowden
“We couldn’t tell them that we were going to interview [Snowden], because there had to be very few people knowing about it,” The Last Week Tonight host revealed today. “Also, I really liked the idea of it being a surprise, because we had this section at the start of the interview where I was really concerned he wasn’t going to turn up.

Richard Dreyfuss’ ABC Bernie Madoff portrayal is “written in acid”
“His Madoff sneers, lies and cheats,” Verne Gay says of the Madoff miniseries premiering tonight. “He not only takes money from the rich to give to the richer (himself), but from the poor, too. He’d be rotten to the core except there’s no core to rot: It’s a pristine, hollow space, uncluttered by guilt or remorse. Most biopics make an assumption viewers want at least a minimally relatable subject. Not Dreyfuss’ Bernie: Relate only at your own risk.” PLUS: Madoff is made to be the world’s most boring criminal, Dreyfuss’ performance is serviceable rather than memorable, and it has enough juicy details to remain very watchable.
