Poor John Oliver — he wanted Sunday’s Last Week Tonight to be blissfully free of any discussion of the 2016 presidential election. Instead of regaling us all with the story of Iceland and the country’s Pirate Party politicians (it’s a real thing, look it up), a late-October surprise courtesy of Carlos Danger (a.k.a. disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner) forced him to do yet another segment on “The Sh*t-Filled Cornucopia That Just Keeps on Giving 2016.†John Oliver breaks down how an FBI investigation into Weiner’s emails has now led to the law-enforcement agency reopening its probe into Hillary Clinton’s emails. Vice President Joe Biden sums up exactly how we should all feel about Weiner at this point, even if his online pseudonym “Carlos Danger†does inspire Oliver to do quite the sexy dance.
