After David Letterman's visit to Narendra Modi earlier this year, it could be that the British journalist Oliver is all set to even the scores with his American counterpart. Considering he has talked about Modi on a number of occasion on his show.

He has mentioned about Modi's immense popularity in the West, his ability to fill up stadiums (Madison square garden) and called him a 'cliché'.

However, he also just could not have enough of Modi standing next to Hugh Jackman(Famous for playing wolverine) and throwing out Star Wars quote as Modi rested his speech citing, 'May the force be with you' and Oliver said 'that's the bar' that other politicians need to live up to when they visit the USA.
