He opened the show on Sunday night with a discussion on the debate, as well as Donald Trump's bizarre response, including his insistence that he won the debate based on unscientific polls. But it was John Oliver's segment on Trump and Alicia Machado that furthermore demonstrated Trump's long history of comments about women.Check out clips below!
