John Oliver, like millions of Americans and billions of people around the world, has spent much of the past four years wondering if he was in the midst of some sort of bad hallucinogenic trip.

Well, John’s finally grinning, because America has voted and on January 20, 2021, there will be a new boss in the White House.
