Last Week Tonight Last Night
This week's episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver was the year's finale for 2019. I was extremely pleased to see that the show's main story was about the census, which is critically important, and the Trump administration has been trying to manipulate it, which has gotten little coverage. While I found the humor a bit more forced than usual, the reporting itself was excellent and there was plenty of good fun with it.
By the way, at one point they show an old TV add promoting an earlier census -- given certain logistics I'm going to guess it's for 1970. The singer in the middle of the crowd who begins the number is Glenn Yarbrough, a member of The Limeliters who left for a solo career, and about who readers here might recall I posted a video not long ago singing the title song of an animated version of The Hobbit, "The Greatest Adventure."
