Oliver has hosted the HBO program Last Week Tonight with John Oliver since 2014. For his work on the series, nicknamed the “John Oliver effect” for its impact on US culture, legislation, and governance, he has won considerable praise from critics and the general public. Oliver was named to the 2015 Time 100 and has received thirteen Emmy Awards, two Peabody Awards, and other accolades for his work on Last Week Tonight.

John Oliver Is Selling Legends Suite Tickets For 25 Cents

John Oliver Is Selling Legends Suite Tickets For 25 Cents

I’m not going to say this is a horrible idea while sitting here. This is what John Oliver does, just like us. He picks out a mistake in someone else’s speech and seizes the opportunity to trash them and garner attention. 

I have indicated from the beginning that I wholeheartedly support this business decision. The Yankees sell tickets for a product and don’t want anyone else to profit from that commodity. Although the club allows you to buy and sell tokens using an electronic key, you may still purchase tickets on StubHub if the seller hands the actual access to a StubHub office. I would understand if they said you couldn’t resell tickets at all. But in this instance, they say you can, with more stringent security requirements. 

Security is absolute, despite what everyone believes. Following this news, Stoolies from all over the country started approaching me to share the tricks they used to get entry to the stadium and better seats. They are making several copies to use the Hard Rock entrance and passing tickets back to change the section and heart, and printing that copy to use after entering the stadium with their original key. It was fantastic for the fans, much like when a $5 ticket might be found, but it probably is if something sounds too good to be true. This was inevitable in this case for a team the caliber of the Yankees and is likely to occur in other markets.

John Oliver Took On The WWE Last Night In A Truly Phenomenal Segment

John Oliver Took On The WWE Last Night In A Truly Phenomenal Segment

I know it’s twenty minutes long, and in 2019, everyone has attention spans of ants, but if you have even a passing interest in professional wrestling—or have at some point in the past—I would strongly advise you to watch the entire clip above. 

One week before WrestleMania, John Oliver addressed specific issues that professional wrestlers have been BEGGING someone to manage on a general level for decades on his HBO program. “Last WeekThe NFL’s early death rate makes wrestlers’ rates look low compared to the average for the entire human race, which is the awful point Oliver makes. Fans have been aware of these problems for a long time, but nothing could be done about them until recently. 

The joke Oliver made about Roman Reigns’ damp hair making him look like a “pedophile” led to those asking for Oliver’s head on the wrestling Twitter last night. To such people, I would say you missed the entire point of the segment and his show. There will be humor. He’s just kidding. In his opinion, Roman Reigns is not a pedophile, and he didn’t even claim that he looked like one. With this piece, John Oliver is genuinely trying to improve the industry. He even makes it clear throughout the section that he is a fan.

John Oliver examined “what sports have become in the age of coronavirus and what the route back for them could look like” on yesterday’s Last Week Tonight. The writers and researchers for the show did an outstanding job on this section, as usual. They examined how clubs have maintained fan engagement and how they have supported charities and other causes during this time, and they highlighted mascots and players who have come up with creative strategies to avoid social interaction (big shoutout to Gritty).
