Last Week Tonight & John Oliver in the Media

[Mod-Tigerkatze]

Hi everyone,

just dropping in with a quick reminder that this is the "Last Week Tonight" media topic. New posts suggest news on "Last Week Tonight" or John Oliver to everyone who frequents the forum, so, out of consideration for your fellow members and guests, please keep the discussion about the show's politics in the respective episode threads.

As you post, please remember that the Israel-Gaza conflict is a complex and personal subject. Everything that is said has a heightened impact and affects not just the person we reply to but everyone around us. Before you post, it can therefore be helpful to consider how your words may come across to another poster, to someone who is personally affected. Keep in mind that the focus should be on the facts and not any individual, disagree with respect and the goal to understand another person’s point of view and most importantly, don’t make it personal.

Thank you.

“Apparently, he’s not dead. He just looks that way.”

He can't come back fast enough.

John's getting warmed up for his first episode of the year. Tonight, he popped in on Jon Stewart.

You can skip to here if you want. Jon's still good at what he does, but it's basically flailing at how messed up things are these days.

In case you missed it, John was on Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday.

I thought that was a joke: The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City?

Also, Stephen congratulated John on becoming a citizen. I thought he became a citizen long ago.

He did a few years ago, yeah. I think they were just recapping/reiterating the fact that he's now a citizen. 

And yeah, honestly, at this point, I'm not surprised to learn that there's a "Real Housewives of ____" out there somewhere :p. Seems if you're any sort of decent sized city, you'll have a "Real Housewives" show set in your area at some point.
