Out of the loop

A British comededian in the style of Monte Python.

Chosen by several reddit communities to post only memes about him (that happened to be during a writers strike) to encourage coverage of reddit's problems.

Famous for investigative journalism. Here is a copy from his Wikipedia page: Oliver's comedic commentary has been credited with helping influence US legislation, regulations, court rulings, and other aspects of US culture; this influence has been dubbed "The John Oliver effect".[4][5] This came from the show's fifth episode, which dealt with net neutrality, a subject that had previously been considered obscure and technical.[101] Oliver documented problems attributed to internet service providers and argued that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could resolve these concerns with upcoming changes to internet regulation. Oliver then encouraged viewers to submit public comments through the FCC's website. The FCC's website promptly crashed.[102]

That is about all I know about him

John Oliver is a TV show host who currently hosts a show called "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver", a show where he talks about topics he feels is relevant to the current public, or should be brought to their attention. That show is currently in hiatus due to the writers strike. Before that show he worked on a "comedy news" show on Comedy Central called the "Daily Show", which was one of the most watched programs on Comedy Central. He was a correspondent there for most of his tenure, though, if I remember correctly, he briefly served as host once the original host, John Stewart, stepped down.

To why he might be relevant right now to people aware of the Reddit protests, he has stated he supports the Redditors protest even going so far as to share photos they could use of him to use in one of the forms of protest that has been going around on Reddit, which is spamming photos of John Oliver's face.
