New Year's Eve Is Awful and John Oliver Is Here to Help You Escape

My favorite part of aging has been the freedom to admit New Year's Eve is exhausting and instead of going out in sparkly high heels I'd rather watch New Year's Rockin' Eve from my couch, swilling Andre while wearing sweatpants. If you are similarly inclined but feel obliged to provide plausible excuses to your friends and family, John Oliver is here to help with ready-made excuses.

Alternatively, you could simply explain you've committed to an all-day Doctor Who marathon and your loved ones will say "oh thank God," cancel their ambitious plans and invite themselves over (with pizza).
