Last Week Tonight returned to HBO on Sunday, and, as is his custom, John Oliver did not waste any time before throwing the audience into a deep pit full of extremely depressing information. To be fair, he thoughtfully suggested an off-ramp to anyone who wasn’t in the mood: “If you want to see a British person do something hot or interesting, go watch Bridgerton—lot of jizzing in blankets on that show.” Once the faint-of-heart had punched out to watch period-accurate jizz, though, things got pretty bleak. Although the end of the coronavirus pandemic is only just coming into sight, Oliver dedicated this week’s show to the next pandemic. It turns out we’re not prepared for that one either.
