It’s election year, known to John Oliver as “Uncle Sam’s Rock-Bottom Yankee Doodle Suicide Pact 2016.” The list of people who endorsed Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is not surprising. Some of Trump’s glitzy show-biz talent may be difficult to place – like the ‘other’ Baldwin brother… I mean the other, other one, Stephen, and the angry barn owl isn’t talking to anyone.
John feels his accent may be best utilized for endorsing things outside of the presidential realm. The first is:Animals wearing people’s clothing.’ He describes the critters in clothing, as “charming, and a wholesome delight – unlike people wearing animal clothes, which is a specific sex thing.” See the man in a spiked leather collar. An enduring look.
In a similar vein, see why John gives his whole-hearted endorsement to – ‘gingham shirts with ties that don’t look as though they should go together,’ and ‘Inter-species friendships.’ The results may astonish you and Tilda Swinton.
Not least, is John’s endorsement of the movie ‘Pushing Tin’ – which co-stars John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton. I won’t be a spoiler, but John seems to feel that this is a good one for the stressed and sleep-deprived to view. ‘Last Week Tonight’ returns next Sunday after an admirably long vacation period, which may have included several attempts to watch ‘Pushing Tin.’
