Last Week Tonight Last Night
He's ba-ack! After over five months off the air, due to the Writers Guild strike, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver returned to HBO. The Main Story was about Prison Health Care, which I've embedded below, but though it was a good report (not one of their best, but good), what I wish is that instead they had made available the first segment, which I know they never do. But it was a 10-15 look back at some of the major stories they weren't able to cover during the past 5+ months. It was often extremely funny -- most especially their scathing treatment of Lauren Boebert (R-CO) getting kicked out of the musical Beetlejuice. But a lot more topics, as well. Including a wonderful segment on the Writers Guild Strike, while noting that the AMTPT studios could have settled this with those terms five months ago, rather than put many tens of thousands of people throughout all manner of jobs at risk or out of work.
Still, this report is, as I said, good. And ultimately, it's great to have the show back.
