HBO
After a week off, John Oliver returned to the Last Week Tonight desk on Sunday. And the comic had a lot to catch up on, but instead of tackling Kanye West’s antisemitic hate spree or Elon Musk purchasing Twitter for $44 billion because he has no IRL friends, the HBO host instead dedicated the majority of his show to bail reform—specifically, the specious right-wing argument that bail reform has led to a spike in violent crime.
A clip of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson opining of the link, “It seems so clear that it is,” caused Oliver to go off on one of his favorite targets.
“Wow. I’m honestly surprised anything seems clear to a man with resting concussion face. He honestly looks like he’s studying a full-body mirror desperately trying to find his penis,” cracked Oliver, adding, “It’s now to the point where any crime mentioned on Fox News gets linked to bail reform, whether it’s relevant or not.”
