I find him much better than Stewart or Noah at summarizing issues


I happen to enjoy his jokes, although in contrast to Stewart, whose jokes were punchlines, Oliver's are mostly asides to a longer narrative.

He is really good at giving you a concise, clear picture of an issue, both sides too. Sure he leans solidly liberal, and so do his jokes, but you can probably learn more watching his longer segments than you can from any other news site -- which is kind of pathetic.
