John Oliver began his first night hosting Comedy Central's The Daily Show last night. "Let's all acknowledge for a moment that this is weird. This looks weird, it feels weird, it even sounds weird," joked Oliver at the beginning of the broadcast. Check out highlights from the show below!

John Oliver will take over as guest host of The Daily Show WITH Jon Stewart on Monday, June 10 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT. Oliver will serve as host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series for the eight weeks of original episodes that are scheduled during Jon Stewart's hiatus to direct his first feature film, "Rosewater." Stewart will return on Tuesday, September 3.

Scheduled guests for Oliver's first week include Seth Rogen (June 10), Armando Iannucci (June 11), a musical performance by Mavis Staples (June 12) and Fareed Zakaria (June 13). Tickets for the summer tapings are available beginning today at www.thedailyshow.com/tickets.
