"The staff of Fortune and a panel of experts recently assembled our 2016 list of the World\u2019s Greatest Leaders. Here\u2019s a short profile of one of them.\nHe may be a funnyman, but John Oliver&amp;#8217;s cerebral deep dives into social injustices on his HBO show Last Week Tonight have created a new form factor in comedy. There isn\u2019t a topic he won\u2019t tackle, from the plight of chicken farmers to native advertising to net neutrality. He insists he\u2019s no more than a comedian, but his investi-comedy has effected change: his net neutrality piece was credited for a shift in the FCC\u2019s position (and for crashing the agency\u2019s website); last summer, a Ninth Circuit court judge cited his segment on U.S. territory rights in a class-action suit in Guam. (His Mother\u2019s Day shredding of America\u2019s parental leave policies, meanwhile, should be played on loop in Congress.) \nThe coup de grace may be his merciless pre-Super Tuesday takedown of Donald Trump: It\u2019s been viewed about 23 million times on YouTube. As one of the beleaguered chicken farmers told Mashable, \u201CIf you\u2019ve got a problem and you want it fixed, call John Oliver.\u201D\nThis article is part of the World\u2019s 50 Greatest Leaders feature, our annual list of world-changing leaders in business, government, philanthropy and beyond.
