John Oliver is still having fun with Fox News and his lawsuit with Dominion Voting.
THE Last week tonight the host kicked off his HBO show again with a segment on the network owned by Rupert Murdoch, while exploring Tennessee Lieutenant Governor Randy McNally’s cornea and a lengthy segment on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
“I would like to start with Fox News,” Oliver said. “The network that answers the question, ‘What was on TV when Grandpa died?'”
Murdoch admitted this week that he was concerned about the tone of his coverage of the 2022 election.
“Laura Ingram delivers each monologue with the energy of a concussed PTA parent,” he added. “Sean Hannity – spits bullshit while looking like a fat neck.”
Elsewhere, he metaphorically traveled to Tennessee – the first state to pass a law to restrict drag performances on public property or anywhere a child might see them.
“Unless they also call Carl’s Jr. commercials, [Hooters] and relentless butts in the Madagascar movies, which seem pretty targeted,” he added.
He particularly had fun with McNally, who is a regular commenter on Instagram, especially on the illustrative butt photos of a gay man. “Horny on main and will be until the day I die,” he joked.
“Randy, if you would just invest half the energy you spend saying gay people are happy into creating a world where that happiness isn’t threatened, it would literally be so nice, king,” he said. declared.
But the main segment was on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the program designed to help needy families achieve self-sufficiency. He highlighted the involvement of Brett Favre and Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase.
“Basically, TANF lifts people out of poverty, the same way one of those arcade claw games lifts stuffed animals out of the machine, that is, it brings them right back there. where they started and the whole process is a fuck you for kids,” he said.
But Oliver was obviously giddy over the Riverside County Department of Public Human Services album Work Makes The Difference, which he described as We Are The World if he “fucked a cheap motivational poster.”
“It’s really hard to stop talking about this album,” he added.
