i assume you're familiar with the popularly night host john oliver. he had a piece about net neutrality that went viral, and he was highly critical of you and your time as a lobbyist. are you aware of his program? chair wheeler: yes ma'am. i have new research. into what a dingo was. representative maloney: he encouraged his viewers to go to the fcc site and register their position. i understand after his peace aired, you had to extend the comment period, and there were so many comments coming in in favor of net neutrality, is that true? chair wheeler: yes ma'am. representative maloney: do you have any idea how many came in after john oliver showed? did you break that down? would you get that for the committee? all of the attention on you, and the efforts, and grassroots organizations, and the john oliver piece, is it fair to say they had some impact on your decision-making? chair wheeler: well, they all went into the record. the decision was made on the record. obviously there was a high level of concern. i also met around the country. representative

former correspondent john oliver did a great job bringing his sort of outside british experience, tohe ludicrousness at times of american politics, so i think trevor noah with the able to give the same. comparing police brutality in the united states to the brutality that he saw under apartheid in south africa growing up so he has an international perspective and how he can relate that to what is going on today. it will definitely relate him to u.s. audiences a little bit more. cxory: actually, i have to take that back. i did not see that. i saw something online or on my computer. but the daily show has been one of the most inclusive -- they put all of this stuff up online, cataloging it extensively. is there a notion that this is the kind of thing we need to do to be more digital going forward? vers i think thath is thea: where they live, and that is on instagram in snapchat, so trevor know it is the embodiment of that and comedy central going forward is making a social media push for those new digital audiences. cory: it is also interesting the success john oliver has had on a diff

former correspondent john oliver did a great job bringing his outside british experience on the sometimesness of american politics. trevor noah will be able to do the same. in his debut, he compared the mentality with police with the brutality that he saw with a part-time growing up. -- apartheid growing up. cory: i also wonder, i saw him online on my computer or ipad but "the daily show" has been one of the most inclusive in putting all of their stuff online, cataloging it all extensively. is there a notion that that is what they need to do to be successful going forward? >> i think so. that is the only way that they will reach new, young audiences. that is where they live on instagram, twitter, snapchat. trevor noah embodies that. comedy central has definitely made a push for those new, digital audiences. cory: it's also interesting the success that john oliver and others have had on different networks, being digital. >> they are doing web exclusives over at "last week tonight," even when they do not have new at the suits -- episodes. that is the way to keep your audience interest right

john oliver talks about how terrifying it is to go over the bridge. >> notoriously shaky.ge. the only time we should never talk about it would be if for some reason there was association. important that i know this. >> forget about pop rocks and pepsi. meant mentos and coke. >> delicious. >> and that's what you're "search engine" found today. >> a really good contestant. i chased it to his home. they're i met joe and his children. the way he made it was he actually poured water out of his bathroom window. >> every night. overnight. a really thick layer of ice. >> ready, set. >> are you hoping these might be future? >> they can be whatever they want. >> it would be the worst. >> exactly. >> he put a go pro. children on it. that went viral. over 800,000 views. >> it's really special. my dad purchased that as a christmas present. >> what are you eating they're? >> oreo. >> that's ice? bill: how was it? >> it actually goes really fast. i asked for some advice. hold on so i go fast. >> okay. going to follow his advice. with his advice i went on. >> definitely going to be the 1s

president obama's comment or john oliver's show? >> well, you know, i tend to view that what was going on was the president was signing onto the 64 members of congress and the millions of people who had told us they want title 2. >> so i sincerely want to thank you chairman wheeler. it appears that the voices of the american people were listened to and you made the proper choice. i commend you for keeping an open mind during this process and for doing what is right for the american people. and i believe the economy. so i would just say and all due respect, i believe that my republican colleagues are looking at this issue in the wrong way. they should be thanking president obama for coming out strongly in favor of an open internet rule. clearly where the american public is and clearly where the economists are. and they shouldn't be criticizing him. what i'm hearing here today is similar to the hearings we've had on the auto industry, where the restructuring that president obama did to the -- with the support of congress, to the auto

. apparently john oliver explained the pointlesses in of the time switch.f he's half as effective for pushing for this as he did with net newt reality, this will be the last we have to see of it. >> this is tough on morning show people. >> brutal. >> john oliver for president. thank you very much. >>> stay with us, as the countdown will stef. stef will have live updates every half hour. we'll have full coverage after the announcement is made coming up at 11:00. >>> new this morning, 49ers general manager says theres zero truth to reports that quarterback colin kaepernick is on the trade block. early this morning trent baalke released a statement, he at not going anywhere. the immediate use reports are without merit and quite frankly ridiculous. rumors started after this late-night tweet. he said the 49ers are taking over for kaepernick. in later tweets, he specifically mentioned the eagles and bears have shown interest. >>> that could shake things up. this latest rumor coming at a tumultuous time for the 49ers. they have parted ways with the head coach obvi

you have john oliver now doing this on hbo, and you have him taking over the daily show, and you havehe new lake, lake guy. what is this? in truth, he is a funny dude. i have been a fan of his. supersmart. it's five or six different languages, is from south africa. what i've seen so far. mark: i look at some youtube clips today, and i was not blown away, although he did tell one of my favorite tips, i flew in, and my arms are tired. i am sure they did a ton of research, but i do not see the level of sophistication in his humor. if he hopes to inherit a lot of the audience of jon stewart, and what i have seen so far, good luck. phil: this is shooting after michael jordan shortstop for the yankees after derek jeter. can he make the show his own, or does he have to make it jon stewart like? mark: you are best off to inherit the audience, not build from scratch. i do not know if they're going to try to change the format. to me, they chose to go in a different direction, maybe he would be awesome, but i would be a little worried as i was running that show right now they can keep much of th

still ahead john oliver offers his take on the star bucks race initiative. why he thinks it may not have been a good idea for americans to tackle the issue of race before their morning coffee fix. before earning enough cash back from bank of america to help pay for her kids' ice time. before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time. and 2% back at the grocery store. even before she got 3% back on gas all with no hoops to jump through. katie used her bankamericard cash rewards credit card to stay warm and toasty during the heat of competition. that's the comfort of rewarding connections. apply online or at a bank of america near you. when you ache and haven't slept... you're not you. tylenol® pm relieves pain and helps you fall fast asleep and stay asleep. we give you a better night. you're a better you all day. tylenol®. photos are great... ...for capturing your world. and now they can transform it with the new angie's list app you can you can get projects done in a snap. take a photo of your project or just tell us what you need done... ...and angie's li

also "the daily show" and the shows like it, coal better, these days the john oliver program is in the same category, it's become journalism, right, in some ways, it's become a news show and doing journalism that the regular journalists are not doing. >> shame on journalism, i might say. when you fact check the shows, they check out, and there is no need -- there is so much 24 hour news, some times when you watch it or when i watch it, i shouldn't say you, but when i watch it is the goal here to be first rather than right? because that's not helpful really to an electorate that really needs some information, you know, something gets spewed out there so that -- in an effort to be first and then it's wrong and then it perpetuates and then it gets tweeted and retweeted and all of a sudden there's inaccuracies, the jeannie is out of the bottle, and you can't put it back in sometimes. you end up saying, that isn't true. i'm sure we have parents who forward us crazy e-mails from their crazy friends, you know, barack obama was born -- where was he born now? >> well, the phenomenon is absolute

"the atlantic" thinks yes and so did the folks at john oliver's hbo show. >> cows don't care what timews and cows are idiots. if it is not for them, who is it for? >> there is an increase of car accidents and work-related injuries the week of the time change. >> what you lose in sleep you gain in mortal damage? >> i say end this. >> we want to wake up shortly after dawn all year because daylight is great. you want as much daylight in your life as possible without having to wake up in the dark. this way we do that. if we didn't have daylight savings time the sun would rise at 4:00 in the morning in the summer. >> why is the bias towards early risers as opposed to people who work late? >> we want to waste as little daylight as possible. >> i grew up the north country of minnesota. right now in this very time when you have been waking up dark getting home from school dark to be able to have life in your life we need vitamin d. we're getting less of it as a nation. i don't want to have a hump when i'm old. >> you can get that in a bottle. >> we used to get it just naturally being outside.

. >> we have john oliver of "the daily show."he's now on hbo, but is an american audience ready to accept a south african, especially considering his really big test will be the upcoming u.s. presidential election? >> it's a great question. he plays to a new generation rising up of a consumer public. i think his back ground is interesting, multi-cultural. he's not johnny carson's tv audience. there are not many white guys watching tv late at night. there are a lot of different societies tuning in these days, and they want news relevant to them. >> jon stewart has turned this show into an institution. you hear comedy central saying we're in the same place as we were in 1999 when jon stewart took over. but he was stepping into a show that made his own. he didn't have the impact that "the daily show" has today. so, again, it would seem that noah is taking on a much bigger job here than jon stewart did. >> i would agree. this is not just forming your own show. there are shoes to fill this time. and they're very big ones. jon stewart

[laughter] seize your moment -- john: that was comedian john oliver last year urging his viewers to writeutrality. a plan to have government make sure the internet is fair to everyone. so many of his fans went to the fcc's web site the web site crashed. as a result, the fcc has now passed a net neutrality rule. well, actually i'm not sure oliver was the reason. there was this other guy who got involved. he told the fcc: create new rules. so now they have. >> a major shake-up in how the internet providers can control what we all see online. neil: and you thought your cable company was a nightmare, just wait until you're on hold with washington. john: well, that's neil cavuto's spin. he suggests the internet will be smothered by government. and i think he's probably right. but most of the media seems to like obama's new plan. here's how nbc explains it. >> think of the internet citizen a congested superhighway taken up by big fat trucks taking up content. the fcc's new rule means those big companies will not be able to pay to dominate the fast lanes they will also prohibit service providers

of those polled would like to see tina fey. 16% would like to see dennis miller and 8% preferred john oliveraily show" might look something like this. or she might do something completely different. >> president bush again defended secretary of defense donald rumsfeld saying you are doing a suburb job. our nation owes you a debt of gratitude. this time, rumsfeld was like, you're screwing with me, right? tempers boiled when senator kennedy threatened to subpoena records and the chairman had to slam his gavel twice before boredom was restored. as california's wildfire season got under way, a 4.5 earthquake hit santa barbara. said governor arnold schwarzenegger, these earthquakes are fantastic. i promise your more action and excitement. soon we're going to have a super mega tornado, giant sinkholes. we're going to make california the number one action state in the country. [ applause ] >> krystal ball, it's the perfect audition tape. >> that was like schwarzenegger meets donald trump. there was something a little trump-esque about that. i would be super psyched if tina fey took over at "the dai

here's how john oliver reacted to that last night. >> the problem he now has is how is he going to convince the u.s. that he's a credible partner for negotiation given that he explicitly said he would not allow a two-state solution but only a one-state solution? >> i don't want a one-state solution. i want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution, but for that, circumstances have to change. >> now, that's pretty impressive because that is a michael jackson level of walking backwards. if he somehow escapes this, he should go on the road as netanyahudini. words cannot hold him. >> not that funny. >>> on friday, john boehner announced he will visit netanyahu in israel at the end of the month. here's what bill maher had to say about the speaker's upcoming trip. >> meanwhile, john boehner has announced that he will be visiting israel. he will be traveling under his secret service nickname, agent orange. and i -- oh, i'm looking forward to that trip. i would just like to say to the israelis, if you think you've heard wailing at the wailing wall, wait until old super soaker has a good cry when h

one surprise is that the fcc addressed the video from john oliver, the one watched on youtube millions of times and encouraged so many people to write the fcc. it crashed the fcc website. the commissioners wrote "4 million americans exercised their right to comment on proposed rule-making. it's a good thing. the commission has listened and it has learned." let's check your news before the bell, landon dowdy is live at cnbc world headquarters, good morning, landon. >> hey, scott, good morning to you. futures are pointing to a lower open after stocks rallied on thursday, bringing a two-day losing streak. investors taking mixed economic data on retail sales in unemployment as a signal but then may hold off a bit longer on raising interest rates. we get reports today on inflation and consumer sentiment. the dow jumping 259 points to 17895, the $dak up to 4893. back to you. >>> sam and kris the big spike in the dow came despite intel in santa clara warned it would make far less money than expected because of slowing chip sales. intel says fewer businesses are upgrading their work computers

and, you know, john oliver came and about an interesting thing, transitioning from being british, but years of work on the show. so this is an interesting, very bold choice. >> you bring up a good point. to make fun of us, do you need to get to know us? watching sinus >> you would think that would be helpful. now, the whole world pays attention to our culture. so he's not out of it in that way. but i think it's an interesting choice based on that. and that's a show that takes on politics, takes on the media, takes on the culture. >> especially as we're going to be headed into the 2016 election. >> the election coming up, exactly. so all of that is going to be really interesting to see a new face come on and take this on. and how he's accepted. >> how heavy-handed do you think jon stewart had in this decision? i would guess a big -- >> jon was very important. jon is the most important person they've ever had on that network. so of course. and you know, he's got a great and vested interest in this show. and he has the show afterwards that he still produced. i think he was very involved,

. >> this year we had -- we auctioned off the opportunity to commit a crime with john oliver. >> sethy -- during the show -- >> they left the beacon and committed a crime. i can't tell you any more than that. >> seth: you can tune in on sunday, though, to see it. >> you can tune in on that. there was, um -- >> seth: what was the wheel of rudd? >> paul rudd allowed somebody to baby bird him. >> seth: okay. [ laughter ] >> imagine. among other things, there was this big wheel and you could have various intimate moments with paul rudd. >> seth: that's great. this is on air. >> and you know, something -- i'm not going to say what turned up. but, paul rudd is a good sport. >> seth: all right, good. [ laughter ] i'm glad to hear that. >> and what else? the pickle parade? >> seth: oh, good, you're doing one. we just did it. [ cheers and applause ] >> i signed the entire cast! >> seth: oh, you got everybody. >> they are blowing up on twitter right now. >> seth: they're really big. they're really big. >> yeah, i secured the pickle parade. >> seth: and autism is very near and dear to your heart

this is not going to be john oliver. to be a really new take and great for election season. >> shira? >> i think it says a lot about the demographics of age. trevor noah i read is only 31 years old. that's even younger than jon stewart was when he took over the show. so i think it said something about comedy central wanting to make sure the show has longevity longevity. as much as i like trevor noah i really wanted them to pick a woman for that top spot. i think it's longtime overdue we have a woman in late night permanent spot in that seat. >> well, let me show some of his standup and you'll see why maybe he was the choice. >> it's all about statistics. have you seen sports in america? americans will go back to the finest statistic. the last time a black man scored using his left hand jumping over a mixed race half indian was in 1967 when the -- they're look what? on the hip hop station, they sense a hip hop. why would you do that? you can't sense a hip hop. no it just makes hip hop seem uncertain. the guys come out and

john oliver, bill maher. we're launching "game of thrones" again on april 12, followed by "silicon valley" and "veep." this is an extraordinary range and array of programming. if we deliver the top content, we believe not only millennials but we have a tremendous opportunity to grow our base in the coming years. it's the most exciting inflection point in the modern history of our company. not only because of the content, but because of the optionality of distribution that we're providing. >> i wanted to ask you about that deal with vice. you announced you'd be launching a daily 30-minute newscast. why get into the newscast business, and why do it with vice, rather than cnn, your sister company? >> we may very well do it with cnn down the road. but vice has been a wonderful partner for us. the show has performed extremely well. we think the brands are elegantly aligned. we like shane and his team very, very much. if you look at the story telling of vice and the range of things that they have done across all ca

. >> do you remember the fcc, net neutrality rules that john oliver did some -- >> yes and i was setp by a lawyer representing the comment companies. >> he has a show that was a joke. >> the john oliver thing but it was instigated by a lawyer. >> it's a comedy show. it's not real news. >> that's where a lot of people get their news. >> anyway i won say youth is wasted on the young but the young do control a lot. so fast and furious, it is a universal movie but it's number seven. it's a huge franchise for universal which is part of the family of cnbc and nbc universal but by all indications it's going to do some where upwards of 115 million in april. that should put it as the biggest opening ever and the reason they know about this is the merger between old media and new media in terms of social media and right now they have incredible numbers like 91% of the people the total awareness among total audience 91% that it's coming out and with young men, charted at 94%, that's under 25. and with old men, over 25 it was at 93% but then you look at the three stars have the -- some of the hi

. >> the topic came up this week on "last week tonight with john oliver oliver." >> there is nothing enterprise where the athletes are not paid a penny. >> reporter: the debate over paying players an old argument. the ncaa considered them student athletes and not employees. they can receive scholarships to help pay tuition and housing and meals and ncaa schools are examining how to meet the needs of the athletes in the future. basketball hall of famer charles barkley says that's enough. he says there are not that many good college players. less than 1% will play in the nba. what about the other 99% that are getting a free education? think about it. critics charge the players deserve a cut of the action because of the national exposure can mean for colleges. significantly increased enrollment and revenue to say nothing to help recruit more athletes. >> there has to be some compensation where they are paid for the amount of time and effort they put in. >> reporter: the ncaa is appealing the ruling of the lawsuit brought by former player ed o'bannon. for the next two weeks, images will

this grassroots movement was highlighted when john oliver, a popular late-night talkshow host , encouraged his viewers to go on the fcc website to comment on the proposed rule. the number of comments was also extremely high because the fcc established a 60 day comment pe riod twice as long as required by the administrative procedures act. the president has a right to express his position on proposed rules. he did so forth fully in this case. in november, he made remarks in support of an open internet rule, arguing that it is "ess ential to the american economy." he said the fcc "should create a new set of rules, protecting net the trolley and ensuring neither the cable nor phone company will be able to act as a gatekeeper restricting what you can do or see online." when he gave this speech, the president ensured his office submitted the appropriate filing. he did this for the national communications and information agency, which is tasked with dividing the fcc with information about the administration's position on policy matters. the presidents routinely make their positions known to inde

that collapsed under the weight of millions of comments generated last year when a friend of ours john oliver, and 4 million others filed comment to the fcc which crashed its servers. 4 million comments is a lot but surely the agency charged with overseeing internet should be able to handle the traffic. with that, i thank everyone for being here today and i look forward to this important conversation today. >> we go now to the chairman of the fcc for an opening statement. mr. wheeler, thank you for being here. we know you have a tough job and we look forward to your comments. >> thank you very much, mr. clarm chairman. it is a privilege to be here with all of my colleagues. there's been some reference up here about the open internet. i'm sure we will discuss it more today. clearly the decision that we made was a watershed. you in your legislation, mr. chairman, and we in our regulation, identify a challenge, a problem that needs to be solved. we take different approaches, to be sure. and no doubt, we're going to be discussing those. now and in the future. but there's common agreement that the
