John Oliver is having fun with Fox News and its lawsuit with Dominion Voting, again.
The Last Week Tonight host once again started his HBO show with a segment on the Rupert Murdoch-owned network, while also exploring the horniness of Tennessee Lt. Gov. Randy McNally and a long segment on Temporary Assistance For Needy Families (Tanf).
“I’d like to start with Fox News,” Oliver said. “The network that answers the question ‘What was on TV when grandpa died?’”
Murdoch this week admitted that he was worried about the tone of its coverage of the 2022 election.
“Laura Ingram delivers every monologue with the energy of a concussed PTA parent,” he added. “Sean Hannity – spews bullshit while looking like one big neck.”

Dave Chappelle came out of isolation to bring a new stand-up comedy special into the world. Haven’t we heard this one before? The circumstances for Chappelle’s latest return, 87 days since his last performance, were a bit different. The new special, titled 8:46, was tapped on June 6 in front of a socially-distanced audience in his hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio. Netflix released it for free on their comedy YouTube channel.
The title is a reference to the length of time that Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into the neck of George Floyd, killing him. Floyd’s death sparked ongoing national protests and calls for police reform. Chappelle at one point also claims that he was born at 8:46 a.m. per his birth certificate. A somber Chappelle used his 27 minutes on stage to address police brutality, and grapple with his emotions on the deaths of George Floyd and Kobe Bryant.
