Billions of cicadas will soon emerge after spending 17 years underground, and John Oliver feels that the hungry horde deserve to be filled in on what’s happened above ground. While 17 years doesn’t sound like a long time, we have undergone some major changes. John hits on changes in technology, music and politics, pop culture, sports, humor and the internet itself.
