John Oliver Bought Airtime During Hannity To Explain the Iran Nuclear Deal to Trump


It’s a double troll!

John Oliver spoke about the Iran nuclear deal on Last Week Tonight and how dissolving it would be a huge mistake on President Donald Trump‘s part.

In an apparent effort to get through to him on this point, Oliver and his team bought ad space on the one primetime cable news show Trump is sure to watch – Sean Hannity‘s.

The ever-popular Catheter Cowboy, whose character is a riff on the typical ads for older males which run so ubiquitously on Fox, will be returning to the airwaves in the D.C. area on Fox News during Hannity in the coming days in order to lecture the president on why he ought to stay in the Iran deal.

Full show:

He is, for me, one of the best. I love all of those who came from the daily show but Oliver is so different. What a guy.

TDS under Jon Stewart was almost as good as SNL for finding and promoting comedic talent.

people came from that show. Wouldn't you have loved to have sat in on a few days listening to them come up with a show? I would give anything to do that. As hard as it is to be able to do that it must be so fun as well. You are right, so many came from there and so many more will come from the shows that they have created. Sometimes we just have to giddy out over the good things we have.

how very much, in this dreadful day and age, I appreciate our entertainers, especially comedians. Where would we be without them?

Oh -- reminds me of this:

I don't think I have heard that one before. I agree and it makes me feel a bit better. 😃
