Last Week Tonight the Other Night
This past Sunday on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the main story they covered was on opioids. It's the second time they've reported on the subject, though this time it was from the perspective of distribution companies but mostly the Sackler family that's behind the drug's growth.
The story is pointed, angry and very funny -- but it reaches it's peak with one of those twists that the Oliver team does so well, especially when they want to be scathingly snarky. And as clever and funny as that is, they ratchet it up a notch with a further twist that is laugh out-loud funny. Much as I want to explain why, I just don't want to give it away.
In fact, they then even make an additional bonus twiist, and all I'll say is that after you watch the video you can more about it here. It will be clear.
