World’s heaviest parrot?! A gold star reason to vote for the Kakapo.

90 chicks swelling the population?! A bumper year of horny heavy parrots.

A gorgeous plumage and a look that’d melt your heart???! Yes. Say less.

Kakapo. Definitely.

Has John ever covered a topic you already had extensive knowledge of? If so how did he do?

When he covered water in the American west, John did a pretty good job. Same for his one on gas station drugs.

I was hoping they'd release the bits as a web only or a youtube side bit. Does anyone know if they've done this? I've searched but can only find a few skits and the reveal.

My partner went down a rabbit hole about comparing camping sleeping pads and the algo fed us this video. Twenty four minutes of an Englishman who could very well be John Oliver but in a reality where he didn't get that big break and lost his zest for life and now makes YouTube videos like this.


r/lastweektonight 1d ago

What date will John return? Also did anyone else know they were off air this week?

I'm kind of angry at the fact the best British American man hasn't done a second story on México. There is a mountain of clips that would make a wild program.

So, if you are wondering why there is a clown angrily screaming at a politician in what seems a news program, let me put you onto some fast context.

That guy is called Rene Bejarano, in a supossedly “left leaning party” (If you ever find a latinamerican person like me angrily correcting you as to why our “left parties” aren't good either, this is why). He was in the Senate, if i remember correctly.

Another rival (follow me on this, rival or not, it gets bad) left to this guy, Brozo, a videotape where it is showed how Bejarano gets a bribe by an executive.

He was gonna leave it at that, but then he heared that Bejarano was in the same studio (in Noticieros Televisa studios) for a different program, so he pleaded that he got onto the studio.

Because he didn't knew what was happening, he got onto the studio, AND THEY SHOWED THE VIDEO IN HIS FACE. For a while, he tried to do a lot of mental flexes to excuse the bribe, saying that it was “donatives” for the party, that it was “low denomination” paper, etc, until the clown, Brozo, got heated up and said that people are FUCKING FEED UP THAT THIS THINGS KEEP HAPPENING.

This move cost Brozo his job on Televisa for a while, but i would say it was worth it.

Oh, btw, this guy, Brozo, Victor Trujillo, dubs Mr. Incredible in the Latin American dub.

yeah

Now that we know that man can act (shout out GH and DoOL), his next show to conquer should be Law and Order. A LOT of HBO actors got their start there—seems like a right of passage befitting for this obviously rising star!

My gym (FitWorks) required going in person to cancel a membership. But they closed all the facilities within 100 miles.

Eventually I found an associated brand only 30 miles, but both I and my wife had to go in together, because they didn't have family memberships just multiple individuals.
