      :( fucking hell, America's obsession with unpaid interns, tipping and not adding tax until the final bill is so fucked

      If it's any consolation, I can tell you that any interns for Last Week Tonight were fired in April and haven't been called back since.

          I would guess that they are. LWT is part of the same NYC 'circuit' of comedy shows as the Daily Show, and a lot of their staff are Daily Show veterans. They are under a different corporate umbrella, but I'd like to think that John Oliver would've mandated that his interns get paid since shitty labor practices are such a focus of his show.

          All that being said, you never know how the corporate overlords might interfere, so take it all with a grain of salt.
